My desire is to provide quality professional care to those that are in desperate need of experiencing hope and healing through their brokenness and pain.

A starting point of CHANGE..."We can't solve our problems by using the same thinking we used when we created them."--Albert Einstein. It is true that we cannot always chose the events that happen or have happened to us. But we CAN chose consciously the interpretation we make about things that happen to us. Change begins when we accept ourselves "as is" and empower ourselves to overcome or cope with life's challenges. Change occurs when we stop believing negative thoughts about ourselves and the world around us and begin giving ourselves the love and acceptance that we desperately need and deserve.

"Meet people where they are" is my motto. To me, that is the best place to start. Making the decision to begin therapy is hard and sometimes scary. My goal is to create a safe space for my clients to address whatever they are struggling with. I am non-judgmental and understand that there are reasons people are and/or feel a certain way. I love helping people understand the root of the issue and working to resolve and get healing from the issue.

My hope is to create a relationship between the therapist and the individual that fosters positive and lasting change. To that end, I work patiently to ensure a sense of trust and safety. In addition, I feel I work well with individuals who go to therapy to be challenged, to be "unstuck." In these cases, I can be supportive while also being firm and direct. My approach is sensitive to the individual's life circumstance, their personality, and their comfort level with the therapeutic process.

Connection with others is as enriching as it is destructive. It is what we desperately seek, yet it can also cause us the greatest harm. Healthy, authentic connection is powerfully healing and life-giving. An ideal world is one in which these types of connections occur automatically and naturally. Many of us live this way, assuming that we will naturally have authentic, healing, and life-giving relationships with our spouses, our children, our parents, family members, and so on. However, connection with others is much like taking co-ownership of a garden. The richness of our garden experience is determined by our stewardship of it.
