It takes great courage to live the life that your heart is desperate to live.

Life is really hard at times. Sometimes we struggle with sadness that doesn’t seem to lift, anxiety that keeps us from moving forward, problems in important relationships, or anger that eats away at us. It can be really hard to harness motivation and move towards our goals. It can almost seem easier to stay stuck in old patterns because of the hard work it takes to change.

I believe that the benefits of making positive changes outweigh the work it takes to get where we want to be. As a counselor, I am able to come alongside people as they go through the process of change. I strive to create a safe and accepting environment where growth and healing can occur. I equip my clients with tools to more effectively manage emotions, establish and maintain healthy relationships, cope with stress, and adjust to changes in life.

  • Anger Management

What to Expect

My approach to therapy is tailored to the specific needs and goals of each individual I work with. The process is collaborative and flexible. I use integrated approaches which address the biological, emotional, cognitive, and relational aspects of each person. I am open to exploring spiritual topics with those who want this incorporated. One of my main goals is to create a safe and open environment where healing and change can occur.

I work with adult individuals. I am happy to provide more details and answer questions during your initial phone consultation, which is free of charge.
