Your life story is significant and complex.  I approach therapy holistically and view each person as a unique and valuable individual.  Using a combination of Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Emotion-Focused Therapy, we will work collaboratively to discover your strengths, uncover past strategies, and introduce new tools to implement positive change.  I believe the purpose of counseling is to build a professional and therapeutic relationship that fosters trust and confidentiality and promotes health and resilience for the whole person.

Feeling heard and understood without judgment is foundational for emotional exploration and healing.  By combining practical tools, insight, and skill development, my clients and I will work together to create a climate for self-discovery and positive change.  With hope as the springboard, you will be challenged, prepared, and empowered to enjoy the abundant life that is available to each and every one of us!
