Life is hard enough without having to go through it alone. No matter who you are or where you are from, my greatest wish for you at the outset is for you to recognize that we all have complications — we could all benefit from growth and healing. As we embrace these realities, we also learn to embrace all of the parts of ourselves, including those that most need our attention and affection. Make no mistake, the path to growth can be difficult. It involves equal parts frustration and exploration, and even a good dose of humor! But when we face ourselves, we may also find that the outcome is beautiful, rewarding, and even enchanting.

I have experience working persons who have experienced childhood and other traumas/PTSD, sexual abuse, obsessiveness/compulsiveness, LGBTQ+-identity exploration, fears and phobias, poor self-image, anxiety, depression, and more. My approach to therapy leans heavily on the power of awareness and honesty to promote healing in an environment of safety.

My approach to therapy leans heavily on the power of mindfulness and honesty to promote healing in an environment of safety and openness. My natural warmth, humor, and easy-appeal means clients find themselves more able to self-evaluate — they find out what may or may not be working for them, while at the same coming into a fuller realization of their own strengths. Using insights from my backgrounds in music, athletics, philosophy, and mythology, clients find that therapy is instrumental in the development of greater self-esteem, self-efficacy, and personal growth.
