I believe in your power to transform your life through goal setting and a personal commitment to change. For many people, facing the pain of our childhood and adulthood trauma or experiences is challenging. We often choose to continue avoiding these feelings with hopes they will go away, all in attempt to protect ourselves and to continue pushing through life. In other circumstances, you may have been trying to make a difference, feel like you are not getting anywhere, or do not know where to begin. I’m here to help you navigate through these past and current struggles in a safe, nonjudgmental, and affirming space.

I believe every individual has the ability to change their circumstances by focusing on the elements which are within their control. Equally as important, we must learn to let go of situations over which we are powerless. By sharing experiences with another person and working through the obstacles that inhibit the life we desire, it is possible to create a life which allows us to thrive. My goal is to assist you in this process by providing a safe environment where you can be open and honest with yourself.

Therapy is an opportunity to sort through the puzzle pieces of oneself, and gain insight about how it all fits together.

As an “introduction” to who I am, what I believe in, and what I “bring to the table” during our therapy sessions, please allow me to use a quote from one of my favorite books written by David Klow, LMFT, “You Are Not Crazy”. His words are exactly what I want you, my Client, to hear from me and for you to believe. You are not crazy. Really, you are not. Others are experiencing nearly the same things as you, yet they just don’t talk about it. They often don’t even have the words to describe what they are experiencing; but if they could, you may find that it is a lot like what you are going through.
