Every person has a unique story regarding their life experiences. These events have shaped the way we perceive ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. Often times, it is difficult to reconcile these beliefs, ideas, and feelings which can keep us feeling lost, discouraged, and unfulfilled. As a counselor I have the privilege to provide a safe space where one can explore and examine their experiences without judgement. Together we work to put the missing pieces together and discover healthy ways to define the best version of you.
I have worked in the counseling profession for over 13 years. I work with individuals who have anxiety, depression, trauma, marital/relationship issues, phase of life and professional development issues & addiction/recovery. I incorporate cognitive behavioral, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness therapies when working with individuals.
I am passionate about the journey of healing and discovery through the counseling process. I believe that one finds purpose and meaning through exploring experiences and perceptions that have hindered growth and development. Working together, I believe one can find a sense of self and begin the path of self-discovery.
