I am excited to join you on your mental health journey. Life is often filled with feelings of stress and anxiousness, and my role as a therapist is to help you navigate these feelings and issues. I aim to create a space that allows you grow and feel safe while you express yourself. We will work on identifying and resolving issues that are causing distress in your relationships and daily life. Together we will work on a plan that best fits you and develop coping skills that will help you live your best life.

Do you feel like your partner doesn't understand you? Do you find yourself having the same arguments over and over again or feel like you're going in circles? Has the romance and intimacy in your relationship been replaced with distance, avoidance, and irritations? My passion for therapy stems from seeing such a great need for people to receive help, whether that be together in couples counseling or individually. My goal is to work alongside people as they process through their issues. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for people to be able to talk as well as learn new tools, coping strategies, and communication skills for life.

Are you someone who struggles with connecting with others on a deeper personal level? Are you a parent with concerns about your child's emotional growth? Are you apart of a couple and feel that the communication is not as effective as it could be? Many people struggle with expressing and managing their thoughts and emotions on a daily basis and it can be frustrating when you don't see yourself growing in this area. You are not alone if you believe your relationships, your marriages and your children's lives can be better and seeking professional help may be the answer.

What is it inside of you that has you looking at this page? Likely the first answers that come to mind will be something like relational distress, anxiety, or depression. Pause. Take another look. See if maybe there's something else inside drawing you to seek help as well. Something inside you wants to grow, heal, or expand and a part of you knows that relationship is the catalyst for this. We are relational creatures and healing happens best when we're deeply known and connected. Likely underneath your relational distress, anxiety, or depression is a sense of loneliness or isolation. I'm here to help undo that so you can heal.

I believe that God's given us the ability and infinite capacity to overcome almost anything that we face in our lives. Unfortunately, sometimes we get stuck. We get stuck by the things that we're taught or the situations that we've experienced or maybe even trauma. We also get stuck when we find ourselves in unhealthy environments like being isolated or trying to take on every situation alone. Finding ourselves stuck definitely feels helpless, but often it can feel hopeless as well.

Life is a journey! That journey has many chapters, where some may not go as expected. My passion is to help people find peace with difficult life chapters. The issues that fill the chapters of life do not have to affect your story negatively. If they have and you are ready to close those chapters, I am here to help. I will listen to your story with the goal of walking through those issues with you. It is time to live your life to the fullest!

Giving up on a goal because of a setback is like slashing your other three tires because you have a flat; I live by this quote because it is so simplistic yet speaks volumes. I feel that in life you will always have setbacks, but that is essential to understanding that it is a process but that it is your process that we will work through together in a strong therapeutic relationship.
