Safety, acceptance, and life changing guidance…
There are a variety of different reasons why you might be considering counseling at this point in time. There is also a really good chance that you’ve tried different approaches and strategies to address whatever it is that has you landing on my page today. I’ve learned many things on my journey as a therapist, however, one of the most salient is that each person, each story, is entirely unique, complex, and multifaceted. I say this with concrete intention, as I want you to be assured, without a shadow of a doubt, of the way in which you will be seen, heard, and cared for in my office. I think about what I do as a therapist with utmost humility and take no client for granted. I promise to see beyond symptoms and presenting issues in an attempt to fully appreciate a more holistic understanding of who you are as a person, functioning in challenging world.
Whether you are seeking counseling to address an individual struggle, relationship issues, family conflict, parenting concerns, or increasing loads of stress and confusion, I am your therapist. I will look to meet you where you are, see and care for you as a whole person, honor your goals, and help you orient toward a future you can feel confident and proud in. I am excited you have made it here, and even more excited to get started.

Individual
Life is about possibilities. Feeling that there are possibilities gives one hope that life will get better. Yet often, one can become stuck in a maze of negative beliefs about themselves and their abilities.
Couple
The truth is that all relationships take work. It is not uncommon that differences arise between partners; if not talked about, these differences can turn the best of relationships into a dysfunctional one.
Family
With over 9 years working with families, I can help individuals within their own unique family system navigate conflict, establish boundaries, and cultivate healthy patterns and directions.
Parenting
Parenthood is not for the faint of heart. I view children, no matter the age, from a “whole person” perspective and can help you and the people in your circle develop healthy strategies and perspectives to benefit your goal of raising competent, healthy adults.
