I love mental health. I love listening to people and diving into the challenges my clients face on a daily basis. I am humbled with the invitation to join your journey, and help you learn how to help yourself. We all have the tools to undertake the obstacles that we encounter; sometimes we need someone to help us take a step back to find a different perspective. I appreciate the bravery and courage that it takes for each of my clients to let me into their lives and become vulnerable with me.

I use a Strengths Based approach with my clients. I believe that if you have arrived at this moment in life, you must have skills to have gotten you this far. Once identifying those strengths, we can work together to increase their effectiveness and to develop additional strengths. I don't believe in weaknesses; just areas of growth.

Therapy is hard. It demands that you be honest with yourself and with me. Therapy is scary. You are allowing a stranger into your life to talk about some of the most traumatic moments in your life. Therapy is not a linear process. You will make progress, you will regress, and sometimes you will be at an impasse. Therapy can also be rewarding. If you allow it to, this process can help you understand yourself and help you to achieve a level of well-being that has previously escaped your grasp.
