My goal is to help you dismantle the self-defeating patterns in your life and relationships. I am reminded daily of the resiliency of the human spirit as people move through their emotional pains and desires to create purpose and meaning in their lives. I weave together the wisdom of many approaches to bring more understanding, courage and compassion into your life. You begin to author your life with greater awareness and move away from habitual reactions into mindful choices. New seeds, ideas, and behaviors take root allowing for healthy relationships and a balanced life.

I offer you a space to be heard and understood without judgment. A place of safety, compassion, and support. You are valuable, and you have a story. We all experience life uniquely based on our genetics, biopsychosocial influences, and cultural views. Counseling is a personal and collaborative process. We will work together to explore, excavate, and identify growth limiting factors in your life. And when you are ready, I offer a fresh perspective backed by a toolbox of evidence-based techniques and methodologies to help you live your most satisfying life.

“Our scars can destroy us, even after the physical wounds healed. But if we can survive them, they can even transform us. They can give us the power to endure and the strength to fight” - Batman, 2021. After you've experienced trauma you live in a different universe, you see the world differently. Only what you feel is real. Traumatized minds are directed by emotions and misinterpret logic. I work best with those who are highly imaginative, creative, and ready to confront their past.

Life can feel unmanageable at times. Therapy is an effective resource to help you through these moments when feeling stuck, overwhelmed and burnt out. Life is short. You can live the life that you want to live! When there is so much negativity going on, it can be hard to keep going and have hope.

I provide therapy to individuals, couples, and groups as we work together to free ourselves from the struggles and suffering that keep us from living our life to the fullest. At times our lives can feel unmanageable.

We start to lose sight of the light at the end of the tunnel of our suffering. I am here to walk alongside you as we move toward that light. Through counseling, these issues can be addressed and freedom is possible as we work together!

I have a heart for people who are hurting because I have been there. I have been in the darkest, most awful, lonely places this life has to offer, but I somehow made it out.

I want to understand you and to let you know that sometimes the broken places in each of us are the very parts that can become the most beautiful. I hope you will let me climb down into that pit with you, into all the not so great places, so we can find a way out.

While life ebbs and flows through times of serenity and times of darkness, we often find ourselves questioning our abilities to cope, think, and even function. Frustration and feelings of inadequacy rush in, which can quickly break down our self-esteem and feelings of worth. People may begin to think, "Why can't I just relax? I used to not be like this. What's wrong with me?". These mood and anxiety obstacles, while disheartening, are common conditions that can be relieved through counseling, where we challenge cognitive distortions and biases we have towards other people, our environment, and ourselves.
