I have experience with trauma, sever mental illness and life transitions. I work at my client's pace and follow the road they take in therapy.

I explore with the client many curiosities of the human condition.

Hurting? Feeling Alone? Stressed out? Uncertain about the future? Is the weight of day to day life feeling unbearable right now? Daily ongoing stress can have a negative impact on your health and well-being. It may be difficult to believe that life can be good again when we are facing so many unknowns. Let me hold it with you. . . traumatic events, losing people and connections, parenting challenges or simply questioning parts of life that don’t make sense.

**I'm currently full, but we have providers at Changes Counseling who are taking new clients. You can send a message through our website & someone will get back to you.** Are you looking for a safe and challenging environment to grow? The foundation of my work centers on you becoming more of who you really are. My style of therapy is to listen and really understand what you are going through and gently support you through these difficulties. Often my clients report feeling empowered and over time experience more peace and joy in their lives.

When challenges interrupt life, making it difficult to manage, having a therapist/guide to help you regain your potential gets you where you want to be sooner with greater success. We live in a culture that often encourages us to “just tough it out”. We can begin to believe that asking for help means admitting failure, and we fall further into despair. The truth is the therapy process creates space and time for you to explore what is at the root of those challenges. We will work together to build a genuine therapy relationship that supports your journey toward improved functioning and life satisfaction.
