The Place of Hope, PLLC

Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LPC
Last Updated 30+ days ago

I want to help you to become the best version of yourself and to help you advance to your highest potential. I believe you don’t change your life by changing your life, you change your life by changing your mind. In other words, changing your perspective on how you respond to life stressors. Your responses will either cause you to be “bitter” or “better”. I want to help you to understand the thoughts and feelings that influence your actions and behaviors, and to help you gain clarity and insight, to understand the true nature of fear, anxiety and other emotions.

I take a relational approach by creating a non-judgmental, empathic environment for my clients using a client-centered approach. I aim to create a safe place to allow you to face, embrace and process any bottled-up feelings you may have. I use a person-centered integrative therapy approach to address how your thoughts, feeling and actions are connected.

The goal of The Place of Hope is to help you to change your life, by changing your thinking. When hope's dream seems to drag on and on, the delay can be depressing. But when at last your dream comes true, life's sweetness will satisfy your soul. Feel free to reach out if you would like additional information or are interested in scheduling an appointment.
