About My Clients
Our perspective shapes our relationship to everything & everyone. My clients seek therapy with me because they want change, but feel confused, scared, &/or helpless to make these changes. I often hear "I feel stuck..." or "I just can't anymore..." It can feel isolating because who can you turn to when things are so dark &/or difficult? No one want to hear our woes or complaints. We don't want to be a burden or bring others down. Fortunately, these times are an opportunity for NEW growth.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My belief is that anyone can make the necessary changes they need to in order to get from where they are to where they want to be. Together we will work toward your goals and transformation. You will be empowered throughout the process. I will use my eclectic background and genuine investment in your well-being to get you to the freedom, healing, love/connection, and transformation you are looking for. It is true that growing is painful, but so it staying stuck. When the stuck feels more painful that the grow, we make a decision to change. During that process, I will be here to guide, hold space, and support you with sincere care, relevant therapeutic tools, and a space for you to reflect on what really matters to you. We will implement a plan for growth, so that you know you are on track, while having grace for you in the process. Healing is not linear, so neither is life. However, we can gain a sense of control, empowerment, and strength to get through it and even THRIVE.
