About

First of all, thank you for considering me to help you through the hard time you're experiencing. I have a deep spiritual conviction that we're all on the same human team and that we are all in this together. I want to be an active member of your team and have a wealth of experience to offer. I've been a counselor since 2012 and have had hundreds of folks walk through my door. Rather than focusing on trying to heal our wounds from the past, the kind of treatment I offer is similar to the mental health version of physical therapy. Rather than stitching a wound together and scratching the scar that it leaves behind, we're aiming to increase your strength and flexibility so that you're not only back to your old self, you may even feel better than you did before these issues first started causing trouble for you. It's a lot of work but the results are very consistent. We get better at whatever we practice. For many folks, they've struggled with running away or hiding from things, and fair enough, our troubles can be terrifying. With me on your team, I hope to help you take the steps to practice getting stronger, to grow our bravery, our courage, and our sense of purpose. If those are stronger than the things that have previously dragged us down, we'll make progress.
