As a therapist I believe therapy is about progress not perfection! I recognize therapy can be intimidating and overwhelming. That being said, I truly value the supportive nature and positive impact therapy can have in a person's life. My goal is to help my clients dive deeper into their personal story for the purpose of healing. I believe it is important to look at their current situation as well as the past and future to accomplish the most meaningful growth possible.

My passion is to help people find the confidence and compassion within themselves to love who they are and become the best version of themselves. I believe that people have the power within themselves to learn, heal, and grow. If a client wants to change something about themselves, I believe with the right guidance they can achieve that. The world around us is constantly changing and we are trying to adapt to that change in a way that works for us. My goal as a counselor is to help provide insight, self-awareness, and tools for your toolbox so you can essentially create the life you want to live.

Recognizing the unique strengths each person brings to their own journey, I am an astute listener, an empathetic partner, an advocate, and community resource. I have come to this field through my own family's struggles with substance use and mental health, have decades of experience traversing the challenges of the human experience, and offer a safe space for those I work with to do the same.

Starting to see a counselor can be a scary thing, and no matter who you are, requires immense bravery. I believe we all have a collection of stories that make up who we are, and counseling should feel like a safe space to share that story. Having been in the client seat myself, I believe that in order to create a safe space for those stories to be heard, clients have to feel respected and important in a non-judgemental, confidential space. I am honored to hear each one of my client's stories and I cannot wait to hear yours!

Hi! I am so happy you are here. Before entering the field of counseling, I worked in psychological research.

Wellness is YOUR story! Thank you for taking the first step in reaching out and inviting me to join you on this journey. My practice was founded on principles of empowerment, holism and collaboration.
