My Approach to Helping

Every day, brings the opportunity to do what I am most passionate about - helping others. Since making the decision to begin therapy can be scary and difficult, it is extremely important that people know they are genuinely cared for and have someone committed to walking beside them every step of the way. Therapy offers an opportunity to serve as a support system and resource guide in which knowledge, thoughts, and ideas are continually shared. While walking side by side, we work together to create an environment that is filled with safety, acceptance, genuineness, compassion, empathy, and humor.

These life challenges have helped to make me the person and therapist I am today.
