Are you feeling anxious or down from the weight of the outside world, with no way to decompress? Do your relationships feel disconnected, conflictual or filled with miscommunication? Are you feeling burned out with the same day-to-day routine of work, sleep, repeat- leaving no time to enjoy life? Or maybe you want to grow, but feel like the past is always holding you back. With each phase of life comes unique experiences. Some joyous, others painful and difficult to navigate alone. No matter your current situation, counseling can provide a space for you to transform your life and relationships...from darkness into light!
With education and training in couple and family therapy, I use a humanistic and systemic approach with every client. In sessions, we'll explore all areas of your life together, aimed at creating lasting changes by addressing each of your concerns thoroughly. I'll work to make sure you feel understood and empowered to become the best version of yourself.
Taking the first step toward growth can be challenging, but well worth it in the end. I welcome contact to answer any questions you may have or to gain more specific information about your current situation and how I can best support you. I would be privileged to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing!

I often use a variety of therapy techniques to ensure treatment is specifically tailored to each of my clients. The approaches I gravitate to most are the ones that give my clients the freedom to express themselves emotionally, help them feel fully understood and validated in their experiences, and aid in their development of action oriented changes to reach their goals.
