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.
