You're ready to live your best life.
I'm here to walk you to it.
My goal is to help you get to where you want to be.
If you’ve come this far it means that you are making the choice to take care of yourself and work to lead a healthier life. That is a brave and important decision, and I am here to help.
In therapy we will tackle the things that are preventing you from living life as you should: stress, anxiety, unfulfilled needs, or overwhelm. Together we will uncover your strengths and identify ways to help you heal and grow.
You've come to the right place.
As your therapist, I am in this with you. I won't shy away from the hard stuff and will challenge you to explore things that may feel uncomfortable.
I have a laid back approach. Though I am clinically trained, I am down to earth and use humor (where appropriate) because I believe therapy is a place to be your true, authentic self.
There is no script or formula for therapy, but my goals is for you to leave every session feeling like your time was well spent and having something valuable to take with you.
My Philosophies
Your Feelings
Are Valid
Your feelings aren't who you are, but a reflection of how you are. Despite what you are going through, you can still become the person you want to be. And it's a privilege to help you get there.
You Deserve
The Best Care
I am committed to your growth and well-being. Therefore, I participate in regular education and training to provide you with up-to-date and evidenced based treatment methods.
There Is No "Right" Way To Grow
The way you process your experiences are specific to you. It may not look or feel like you thought it should, and that's okay. I am ready to meet you right where you are and provide a safe place for you to find direction and begin moving forward.
You Are Doing
The Best You Can
If your current situation leaves you feeling like you're at a standstill and you're already working hard to keep going, I am here to offer a fresh perspective and provide you with tools to make your best efforts turn into results.
