It takes courage to take the first steps towards a change. I applaud you for taking the first step toward a more fulfilling, happier life. I believe that YOU are the expert on you. To help you, I bring a boatload of curiosity and a searching, inquisitive nature. You come to therapy with all the clues inside of you. It is my job to help you find the answers. I bring tons of life experience – more than this page can fit. It all serves to aid me in helping you know yourself better. Having confronted my own life’s challenges (with plenty of counseling along the way), I may be the best fit for what you are dealing with. It was always my destiny to become a therapist. I have been studying psychology and neuroscience since I was 17. That curiosity of mine has led me to specialize in different counseling models so that I can create a specialized plan of therapy just for you. I took a long road to become a professional therapist, doing many non-professional interventions along the way. My graduate degree is from Rollins College in Florida, a small liberal arts school with the best counselor education program I could find. My clients have ranged from 17 to 70, with the majority seeking help with depression, anxiety issues, or life changes. I know you and I will work well together. I look forward to beginning the therapy journey with you.
