"It's your road, and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you." - Rumi

Life is hard, and everyone struggles with different issues, in different ways, at different times, for different reasons. In sum, we all face our own unique set of challenges, and we all need help to be our best selves and live our best lives from time to time. Without adequate support to help weather us the inevitable storm life brings our way, these challenges can cascade into simmering turmoil, and we can become trapped in our own 'bell jars,' struggling to see ourselves, others, and life in accurate, balanced, or productive ways.

I believe healing happens through individual meaning-making of experiences and that this process happens most naturally and effectively within the context of a safe and secure therapeutic relationship. By experiencing the acceptance, validation, and nurture of a professional clinician, we allow ourselves the opportunity to shatter the bell jar we have built and see ourselves, others, and the world in a better light than we are willing or able during our toughest life moments.

Whether your struggles are ongoing, transient, or recent, I view the counseling relationship as an anchor for thrownness and a vessel for personal empowerment and change, and I look forward to joining your journey and walking alongside you on this path we call life.
