Asking for help or support can be scary. Making that step to get therapy takes a great deal of strength. Therapy gives people the opportunity to develop effective and healthy responses to life's stressors. I work to create a safe holding environment to allow you to feel comfortable being yourself. I work with clients to help them develop awareness over their behaviors, thoughts, patterns, and feelings. I like to get to the source rather than just focus on the symptoms.

Anyone willing to come to therapy in the first place is at least somewhat willing to make some changes.

Clients can have short-term goals for therapy, or longer-term needs.

In helping clients tell their own story through therapy, I've been able guide clients through finding their own solutions when motivated for change.
