As a therapist, I see myself as a guide on your journey of healing and discovery to empower you to become the healthiest version of yourself. Change is not instantaneous, and I am committed to helping you navigate your path at your pace. 

I believe that a strong connection between therapist and client is essential to beneficial therapy and use a non-judgmental, client-centered approach rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and strengths-based therapy. With support and encouragement, I’ll help you develop strength, resiliency, and healthy coping strategies. I offer empathy, respect, relatability, and warmth but will also challenge you to work through hard truths and feelings when needed.

Therapy can sometimes be difficult, but the destination is worth the hard work.  Fear of the unknown can stop people from getting the help they need, but you do not have to struggle alone. Change is possible at any age, so it is never too late to seek help and start on your own personal journey of hope and healing.
