I believe we all long to flourish. When we meet, we will explore what flourishing means to you, what your goals are, and what's standing in your way. I look first at your strengths—what's working for you now— and why you think you are struggling in certain areas. We will then collaborate on how to reach your goals. As a Christian I know we have a unique relationship with God, and when asked I integrate spirituality. Because I have a lifetime of lived experiences I am compassionate, nonjudgmental, and empathetic. I draw from these experiences, and it informs my counseling. Helping others to flourish has always been part of who I am.
I have extensive experience with mood disorders, including bipolar and depression. I help clients transition through life changes such as first leaving or home needing assisted care. I help parents and kids develop a mutually respectful relationship while navigating challenges. I help couples find meaningful connections while building a strong foundation.
I would love to develop a valuable and productive therapeutic relationship with you. We can explore our potential in working together. I am committed to helping you find peace, joy, and a fulfilling life. First of all, you will feel hope and confidence that you will reach these goals! You're on your way and you've taken the first step...you've got this!
