Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Psychotherapist
There are times in life we need someone to help us navigate through our unsteady waters. I believe in the importance of mind, body, and soul health.
There are times in life we need someone to help us navigate through our unsteady waters. I believe in the importance of mind, body, and soul health. The way we tell our life story, how we interact in our relationships, how we process/react to our feelings, and the meaning we give it all can have a huge impact on how we feel in our own skin. I want to help you create positive lasting changes within yourself and your relationships that will ultimately improve how you perceive your life.**I CURRENTLY HAVE OPENINGS FOR NEW CLIENTS starting next week.** I am looking forward to delving into a significant part of existence that is unfortunately still considered taboo by some. Most humans are sexual beings and it is a relevant part of the dialogue both in individual and relationship work. At the end of June 2016, I began the training process to become a Certified Sex Therapist, while receiving supervision. I intend to work with individuals and couples who are struggling with sexual issues and concerns. Sexuality can be an important and relevant part of your story that is worth exploring.
