Therapy is an opportunity for growth and discovery through finding one's personal power and influence within themselves. I have a passion for helping others find their place of peace in a world full of mixed messages.

This influence can lead to a sense of brokenness and disconnection brought on by an outside source. Let me help you overcome through defining and living out your definition of what it means to thrive.

Nothing in life is one size fits all; therapy is no exception. My first priority is to establish a trusting relationship with you, then together create goals tailored to your individual needs. As humans, we tend to shy away from uncomfortable, unwanted, or overwhelming feelings/thoughts. We all develop habits to cope; sometimes those habits may no longer be helpful. In a non-judgmental and safe environment, we will work together, unlock your potential and create the change you desire.
