Life can have so many ups and downs and it can be challenging at the best of times to navigate.

We all have to go through what we need to go through, to get to where we want to be. Coping skills changes and progress as we move through situations, learning how to be better equipped for these situations can seem daunting. Working on yourself to identify new perspectives, new insights and exploring a life that can truly make you happy is where I come in. Allow yourself to process the emotions tied to so many aspects of life with laughter and warmth.

Whether you are working through past trauma, recent trauma, getting through rough patches, seeking greater self-satisfaction, or looking for encouragement on a spiritual awakening, I can provide support. Exploring these life issues begins with a relationship built on trust, respect, warmth, and humor. Therapy, at its core, is an exchange of energy between therapist and client, an energetic reciprocation to begin the healing process, which is paramount to guiding a client to embrace their authentic self. This is my approach to assisting others to move through and into a better version of themselves.
