I believe counseling is a collaborative process that’s rooted in a supportive, therapeutic relationship. I focus on creating a sense of safety and trust that allows for exploration of vulnerabilities, recognition of strengths/weaknesses, and increasing insight into your patterns of thinking and behavior.

We all want intimacy and intimacy is a risky endeavor. Navigating risk in relationship shakes us to the core and can be made more complicated by the reactions of our loved ones.

There are times in life that we find ourselves stuck, not sure what our next step is. We are unsure how to heal from a deep wound, or how to change our behaviors, or how to have a difficult conversation, or how to build a life that is peaceful or joyful. In therapy, I help […]

I believe people have the power to change and that therapy can be beneficial in helping with that change. Each of us has inherent worth and value.
