I'm so glad you are here! If you are ready to make some changes in life that are likely to result in improved mental health, improved quality of life, and general well being; you came to the right place! My approach in counseling is in general to look at the person as a whole; not as their symptoms of problems. I use holistic, solution focused, and trauma informed models to work together to create a unique plan to reach your personal goals. I learn towards techniques that help individuals free up emotional stress, live a more intentional life, and move towards more effective communication with those important to them.

I like working with individuals that have experienced some type of trauma that may be preventing living life to the fullest and really healing from the anxiety,pain, uncertainty, and doubt that the initial harm caused. I try to help others make sense of the pain so they are able to heal and get back to enjoying and loving life experiences.

I often approach therapy from a strength based perspective that puts an emphasis on first identifying what is working well . In the first session I will gather lots of information about you as a person and the goals,outcomes and expectations you have of therapy. We will then work together to create a personalized experience that will help you move towards your goals.
