Need help changing your life? I am the type of therapist for those individuals that don't have tons of time to figure out their past life issues. Through assessments, I am able to develop and implement a future focused plan with clear goals and an estimated timeframe for achievement. I am more of a non-traditional therapist & most of my clients have tried and failed at more traditional clinical therapy.

Are you ready to embark on a new journey to transformation? Are you feeling disconnected and alone? Are you struggling with negative thoughts that keep you stuck?

One of the most important factors in the effectiveness of counseling is whether or not you feel “understood” and accepted. You will find that in our sessions.

Two of the most important things in life are to feel understood and have a sense of belonging. However, when we experience challenges in our lives, it’s difficult to feel this way.

Feeling stuck or overwhelmed. A string of broken relationships. Addictions. Just surviving through each day. Life’s stressors or trauma can leave us in these states. But it doesn’t have to stay that way. While there may be seasons in which all we can do is breathe (and that’s okay!), God has created us in His image for so much more. With curiosity and compassion, we can unpack internalized messages you carry from significant people or events in your life, and explore how those beliefs affect your relationships and current day-to-day.

Does life seem confusing or even impossible? Does it ever feel like even when you are with others you feel alone? It is brave to ask for help. With every fiber of my being, I believe you have the answers you need and you can be the expert on you. Let me help you better understand your story and help guide you out of the dark places you are stuck in and into your truth. So much of the time we are living a narrative that others have crafted, by pain rather than strength. These narratives can feel like prisons but you have the ability to heal and take back your story.
