Philosophy
Change is an inevitable part of life. I am dedicated to providing guidance and support to those changes with the goal of an improved way to do life. I specialize in helping adults and teens suffering from mental illness, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, grief, and other life transitions. My favorite author, Henry Cloud said, “We change our behavior when the pain of staying the same becomes greater than the pain of changing.” I strive to provide a safe and empathetic environment to help clients move toward healing and growth by addressing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that result in negative consequences. I work collaboratively with my clients to develop new and healthier ways of coping with life's challenges and difficulties. My goal is to help people look towards the future with hope and a new way of thinking. I look forward to being a part of your journey in reaching your fullest potential.
As we travel through this journey of life we are faced with many challenges. No one is immune to these complications as well as milestones. It is important to feel supported through these moments in life with love and acceptance.
