Compassion. Hope. Empowerment.
Life is tough. It throws curveballs, blindsides us, and doesn’t seem to always play fair. If you’re facing challenges and would like to be better equipped to do so, then I’d love to help. My goal is to empower you, to help you be your best self.
When we’re hurting and struggling with things like depression, anxiety, and relational issues, it’s hard to know how to begin the path to healing. You don’t have to navigate these tough journeys alone. There is help. There is hope.

Change
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
– Albert Einstein
Change isn’t always easy but it doesn’t have to be complicated. Incremental change coupled with healthy thoughts leads to a more satisfying life and ensures we don’t repeat past hurts and behaviors. There will always be storms to navigate. Therapy won’t change that. But therapy can help you to know how to “change the changeable, accept the unchangeable, and remove yourself from the unacceptable” (Denis Waitley).
