Sometimes in life, we can find ourselves feeling weighed down by pain, disappointments, and suffering. In times like these, having a compassionate, supportive counselor to journey with can help us know we are seen and not alone. In my work with clients, I strongly believe that one of the most powerful gifts in therapy is genuine care, supportive feedback, and listening. In my therapy sessions, I greatly value fostering a warm, accepting space to support my clients in growing and cultivating greater resilience.

Emotions are normal! The difference between feeling anxious or depressed lies in our interpretation of these emotions. I work with children, adolescents and adults for individual or couples counseling. I enjoy working with young people by helping them to understand emotions and what they mean. There are several therapeutic modalities I use including art therapy as a way to connect feelings to behaviors and sports metaphors for visualizing change. Through this process my clients increase self-control and self-esteem. My goal is to reveal the strengths individuals posses even if the current life situation may feel overwhelming.

I believe there are three major components to a well-balanced state of mind - they are Love, Purpose, and Value. If either is missing, you could experience some level of mental distress.
