ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! Seeking guidance can be overwhelming and we understand the challenges in taking that first courageous act. Have you tried therapy before but did not experience the change expected? Perhaps you have never seen the point of "just talking.” Environments are the determining factor where you will either feel stagnated or realize that you have entered a space that is conducive to create your desired outcome.

Making changes can be tough and often a little scary. Sometimes finding the right path is difficult - so many choices and so many obstacles. I will work with your strengths and your thought life, right where you are, to help you move past fears and other obstacles to create the lasting change you desire.

Oftentimes life throws curve balls that can leave us feeling lost and alone with no clear direction for the future. Whether you are experiencing depression, anxiety, chronic stress, struggling with trauma from the past, or grief; there is hope for healing and wellness. Reaching out for help can be a difficult, yet courageous choice. I would be honored to work with you on your journey to healing and achieving your goals.

The choice to seek professional help is a courageous decision. Everyone has events in their lives with which they have to cope. Sometimes the coping techniques a person has used in the past don't work well anymore and they need help finding new ways to deal with those events.

My clients and I work together to understand the changes and to develop adaptive coping skills needed to survive the events in their lives.

Life doesn’t always follow a smooth path. The trail can be littered with weeds and divots. Maybe a steep cliff is up ahead or there was a rockslide miles back. It’s not always easy to navigate the journey, which is where flashlights and gear can help. The counseling process isn’t someone telling you where to go or what to do, rather, another sojourner sharing tools, perspective, and a listening ear. My hope is for you to build on your own unique strengths in order to gain confidence to continue the journey. If you're looking for a safe space to address life's challenges, I would be honored to come along side you in that process.
