I believe there are times in our life where we can feel trapped or stuck. We become ensnared by behaviors that seem to hurt us more than help. However, I believe that we can experience freedom. We can taste the goodness of life that is unencumbered by our addictions, broken relationships, and self-defeating beliefs and behaviors. I also believe in the power of connection. It is vital that we seek to be connected with both ourselves and with others. In this context of connection, freedom blossoms and we will see growth. Additionally, I desire to give you hope. Hope that with time and energy you will experience a fuller and more vibrant life. I believe that counseling is a place and time for you to discover your strengths, to understand your past, and to look forward to new ways of living life. Counseling is a place where I want you to feel heard, seen and valued. We will work to help make sense of the struggle and the ways you have sought to feel okay and help find potentially better solutions. My job is not to “fix” but to simply provide a place where you can do the work on you. Let’s journey together to find solutions to the issues that are dragging you down and stealing the life that you desire.

My own past personal struggles led me to gain invaluable experiences from both group and individual therapy. After realizing how powerful therapy can be in giving me a voice, I decided to go back to graduate school in pursuit of my degree in Counseling Psychology.
