Hello! Therapy is a process of self discovery. The decision to seek therapy is a sign of strength and an indication that you are willing to invest in yourself! The clients with which I work best share the willingness to commit to the process of therapy and do the hard work. My goal for each session is to create a warm and inviting atmosphere where together we can explore and discover insights about your life, the root causes of stumbling blocks, and the means to help you heal, change, and grow. Whether you have lifelong problems or perhaps more current issues you are dealing with, I believe there is always a path available for change. Each person is the best expert of their own lives and brings a unique set of strengths that often go untapped. With the proper identification of the problem, uncovering the root of destructive patterns of behavior & thought, plus insight and education, clients get “unstuck” and are able to move forward in their lives.
