Partnering with you to improve the quality of your life: that is my goal as your therapist. I'm here to encourage, support, empower, and listen. During our first session we will determine your goals for therapy and what changes you want to make to improve your life. To best help you, I use an integrative technique, designed to meet you where are ready to start, and sessions are tailored to your needs and goals. One of the most important therapeutic factors, according to research and my own experience, is finding the right fit with your therapist.

I have over ten years of experience working with older adolescents and adults of diverse cultural backgrounds and intersecting identities. I strive to create a welcoming, supportive, and safe environment that fosters a relationship where you feel accepted, empowered, and able to express and gently explore vulnerable and painful feelings and thoughts. I am empathetic and not afraid to get down in the pit with you to explore the darkness and honor how the pain in your life illuminates what is most important to you.

I tailor my services to each client and their unique needs, always from the humanistic approach. That means that I see my clients first and foremost as human beings, having what we would consider a human experience. Clients experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, job issues, or really any other type of discomfort will benefit from my integration of mindfulness and meditative practices into their treatment, alongside the use of building the psychological tools that empower them to create measurable changes to their circumstances.

As a therapist I partner with people who are seeking better wellness and wholeness while navigating life changes, challenges, and chaos. I work with individuals who are in search of satisfaction with their selves, their relationships, and their careers. While we cannot remove harm that has happened in the past or stop change from persisting in our world, we can work together to reconcile the differences so that you experience less anxiety, depressive symptoms, obsessive control, fatigue, and doubt in your future days.

I find the practice of acceptance, gratitude, and faith in oneself to be three of the essential ingredients needed for positive change.

Therapists at Life Choice Counseling understand that making decisions in life is not always that simple and we wholeheartedly believe that no one should ever feel alone in the process. Life is unpredictable and there are situations that occur, that may require the benefit of seeking support beyond talking with family and friends, and speaking with someone that has the clinical training to identify underlying causes for emotional, behavioral, and cognitive disruptions. Maybe you’re just in a period of transition and need support through short-term adjustments. At LCCC, we believe that there is no problem too great or too small.
