Our Team
Therapists
I look forward to meeting you wherever you are on your journey and walking it together.
If you are like many others you may find yourself feeling stuck or struggling to deal with pain on your own. The good news is that you do not have to struggle alone.
For as long as I can remember I have always had a desire to help others. I am truly passionate about assisting people on their journey to mental wellness.
I believe that therapy is a space to tell your unique story, where your lived experience will be received, honored, and validated without judgment.
I believe every human being deserves to be seen and live in a way that brings about peace, self-love, and a positive self-image.
I’m here to sit with you in the stuff and work towards getting you back to the you that you want to be.
I believe that all people have the strength and knowledge within them to find the healing that they want and deserve. I am here to provide a safe place and to walk along beside you as you begin to discover what you need on this journey.
I work to identify the strengths of my client and then utilize these as we collaborate, accomplishing the client's life goals, navigating stressors and bringing balance and hope to the client's life.
I value creating a strong relationship with my clients that respects their values, preferences, personality, and worldview. My goal is to help you increase self-awareness and learn how to overcome obstacles
As a counselor in-training, it is my earnest goal to create a safe, compassionate, accepting environment where you can explore and integrate your authentic self without fear of judgment
My specialities are with those who are going through a life transition and those dealing with life impacted by suicidal thoughts.
I strive to help families unify when they are coming through conflict with the goal of identifying commonality.
I strive to create a safe space where you feel empowered to begin your journey of healing, exploring, and rediscovery.
You don’t have to go through your pain alone. All of us struggle and need someone to accompany us during different seasons in our lives.

Our Philosophy
The why matters.
We are quick to share our happiness, but struggle with sharing our burdens. Our passion lies in working collaboratively with you, gaining insight about life's current stress, and working towards living a joyful, healthy, balanced, and fulfilling life. In today's stressful society we are constantly connected, there is not enough time to get everything done, let alone disconnect from the world and find time for yourself. You have to juggle families and careers - spouses and friends - caring for your kids while caring for aging parents. Or maybe you are in the phase of life where you are trying to figure out what to do, where you want to be, and who you want to live life with. This leaves little.... no.... time to take care of yourself! We believe that life should be lived as a community, supporting one another, growing, learning, celebrating!! and sharing in life's ups and downs.
In our sessions we disconnect from the fast paced, demanding world around us and focus on you. It is a period of time where you can speak freely about how you are truly feeling, what the reality of your life is, and trust that you will be heard. How often do you get a period of time where you can sit, disconnect, focus, and work to better yourself? How often are you really heard?
In counseling you get to tell your story, you are the expert in your life. That being said, there are discrepancies in our stories. Do your values align with your daily life? Are you following your passions in life or just daydreaming of them? In our time together we work to help you identify where the dependencies are that might be causing you angst. We are then able to expand your story and incorporate positive change. We may be working to decrease your anxiety, increase joy, find direction- all of which are attainable!
We view our work through a systemic lens. And by that we mean we don't live in a bubble, we are not isolated, we are part of various systems that influence us greatly. We believe that current life situations are influenced not only by today, or the here and now, but also by family, social influences, work environment, history and much more. Our goal is to help you to find peace, contentment, direction and joy all while appreciating and celebrating the impermeable, profoundly influential systems around you.
Confidentiality and genuineness are vital for a trusting and productive therapeutic relationship. We feel that you must find a counselor that fits your personality and work style in order to feel comfortable and make the positive changes that you are aiming for. This is your time, your investment, and you deserve to make it work for you. If you believe we might work well together- our vow as counselors is to be genuine - be ourselves (sometimes sarcastic)- be open, honest and work to make our sessions together productive.
