Finding the right therapist can be one more challenge to navigate. Life can be filled with many things; highs, lows, the unexpected, and the mundane. Therapy can help with whatever you are going through and help to shape the life you want undeterred by it all. When you hire me, I will help you to better navigate your challenges and customize your therapy sessions to your unique life. I offer a collaborate and non-judgmental approach, to acceptance of some things and to change what is necessary.

I know it can be hard to differentiate thoughts from emotions, and then figure out how our behavior follows. I work to help each client through this process, and to become more aware and learn how to identify and apply necessary changes that will make a lasting difference.
