We believe therapy should be a normal part of life and accessible to all. We all experience challenges and need help from time to time. Taking care of our mental health is just as important as taking care of our physical health. Our role in therapy is a coach, consultant, and collaborator. It is important to build on your strengths because it enables you to change from a place of empowerment. To us, the goal of counseling is to gain insight through reflection and to build concrete skills so that when future challenges arise, you are better prepared.

Therapy is a process. In life, we must find a balance that works for us. Sometimes, the things that once served us well no longer work with the stage of life we are in. We learn to accept, forgive, fine-tune, and create. In therapy, we will find what works best for you and highlight the strengths that you already possess. I take the stance that I am the co-pilot working side-by-side with you to promote growth and change. You, as the driver, determine the next course of action, as well as the destination.

Please be you. Maybe you don't know who that it is. Or you do––and you're not a fan. Either way, you deserve to be the proud narrator of your own life story.

Together, we can bring your inner voice out. I like to use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) in offering you tangible tools that act as rose-colored goggles. For who you are today. Let's work on characterization and plot. And let's give your life story a rewrite, if necessary.
