As a counselor I believe in another especially when they cannot believe in themselves. Each person is unique with differing situations that life has presented: depression, relationship issues, anxiety, eating too much, eating too little, low self-esteem, forgiveness, spiritual quandries, and no self-identity. It is these things and more that together we explore because they take from us our meaning and purpose in life. I like to explore what gives meaning and balance, and peace to ones life.

Are you feeling stuck? Therapy is a risky interpersonal adventure; it takes courage to meet yourself in a new way. The anxiety is worth facing safely and discretely. An investment in yourself pays the most significant and long-lasting dividends inside and out. You are unique, your story is unique, and your situation is unique. Yet, many of the things we struggle with are common, internal, and relational struggles that are resolvable with a new awareness and the power of a trusting relationship. My goal is to honor your commitment to your unique vision and healthy relationships. With your willingness and dedication, I hope to take the journey with you to a different level of YOU that is ready and waiting to emerge.
