Founder & Owner

I believe in utilizing therapy as an opportunity to assist individuals, couples, and families in acknowledging and overcoming barriers to healing and change. I create an authentic, collaborative and non-judgmental therapeutic space where clients are able to address areas in life that aren't working (anxiety, anger, depression, low self-esteem, relationships, painful experiences); to explore and resolve the internal and relational barriers that limits healing and personal growth; and to create an action plan that empowers clients to live out their full potential.

 

I work with with all adult individuals (18+), couples, and families in all stages of life. I have experience working with issues ranging from transitional and adjustment challenges to more significant mental health concerns. I enjoy assisting individuals in their search for identity and purpose; helping individuals, couples and families improve their communication, intimacy, and relationships; and supporting clients in pursuing their goals. While working at your pace, I use a holistic approach to support your overall sense of well-being. I operate from a compassion-based, wellness-oriented, person-centered, strength-based, trauma informed, systemic perspective. I whole-heartedly believe healing is possible for all people. Parts of the work in counseling will focus on practical solutions while other parts will focus on the root issues. I realize there isn’t a one-sized-fits-all formula for change so I spend time listening and understanding your perspective to be able to tailor my approach based on your needs and desires.

​

My intention is to inspire hope and growth, develop wholeness, and empower others to live an abundant and authentic life. I use my gifts of compassion, insight, discernment, and engagement to bring about healing and restoration to the broken hearted and encourage a process of positive change. I deeply value creating a safe environment and aim to build a relationship of trust while assisting clients in reaching personal insight. I hope to help you find a sense of balance, enjoyment, and meaning in life while getting connected with your truest sense of self. My ultimate goal is to assist clients through healing and growth.
