Accepting clients
Updated 30+ days ago

I am passionate about working with couples and individuals, to affect personal growth, empowerment, and enhancing relationships.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, client-centered, compassionate, and non-judgmental. I meet clients where they are at and help guide them to where they want to be. I help clients recognize and harness their own personal strengths while learning new ways to challenge negative thought patterns and unhealthy behaviors that can keep us feeling stuck.
