"Don't Surrender all you joy for an idea you used to have about yourself that is isn't true anymore."

-Cheryl Strayed

Therapy Is For Everyone.

We all have concerns, questions, troubles—difficult or confusing times. As your therapist, I provide a safe space for us to explore solutions to life challenges…together. In my office, you will be received with
warmth, kindness, and genuine concern.

• I will NOT JUDGE you.

• I will RESPECT and HONOR your thoughts, feelings, opinions and ideas unconditionally.

• I will not tell you what to do. I believe you are the EXPERT on your own life.

• I will be a facilitator of GROWTH and change. I will guide you as you explore what you VALUE—and how to approach your life and relationships in ways that reflect those values.

• Therapy is all about YOU. I will be open, honest, genuine, and sincere in our therapeutic relationship; still, therapy is about YOUR journey.

What Kinds Of Problems Can You Help Me With?

I view problems as separate from people. Whatever the issue may be—anxiety, grief, relationship challenges—I strive to understand the problem through your lens.

We will work collaboratively as I guide you; we will explore what troubles you and how problems influence your life, decisions, and relationships.

Using strengths-based, narrative, and mindfulness methods, we will explore your skills, abilities, ideals, and beliefs so you have a rich understanding of what is meaningful to you and how to construct your life to reflect what you value.

No problem is bigger than your strength! I will support you as we work together to find relief from whatever weighs on you so you may live a lighter, brighter, and more joyful life.
