I am actively committed to helping clients learn more about themselves. I don’t just sit and listen. I talk and ask thought-provoking questions. I offer new perspectives while also offering time to reflect together.
We will develop new insights and self awareness. This might include clarifying values, understanding relationship dynamics, or recognizing the impact past experiences have on current functioning. New insights provide direction for needed change.

My approach to therapy is client centered and begins with a conversation to get to know you, your history, identities, struggles and strengths. Therapy begins as you are able to trust me and the process and honestly share your thoughts and feelings.
We change when something is emotionally important. We will explore what gets your attention and use that energy to your advantage. Self-Care can be challenging but we have to get it in there somehow. Alienation, anger, fear, hurt, guilt can haunt us.

I want to help you write your story, as you have always imagined it. Incorporating your dreams and letting go things that no longer serve you today.

I don’t believe therapy is one size fits all, I want to tailor it to your life and your vision! If that means sharing memes and laugh, I’m here for it!
