Introduction

Life is a journey that wasn't meant to be done alone. Seeking help can be overwhelming, and even terrifying. No matter the circumstances that led you here, I look forward to partnering with you through the process. My goal is to assist you in identifying your strengths, goals and passion to empower change. Healing comes when we can discover our personal value and worth. When we discover and live our lives knowing our personal value and worth it will carry over into our professional and personal areas of our lives. I strive to create a non-judgmental, supportive environment to help you find balanced life.  Seeking help can be overwhelming, and even terrifying. Maybe you had a bad experience in the past, or maybe you never thought therapy would be for you. I use a variety of techniques to help you change or develop behaviors, examine your thinking for patterns that are unhelpful, help you to find balance with your emotions and come to a place where you feel purpose and meaning in your life.I also offer faith-based approaches to those who choose to incorporate faith principles in session. You will be empowered to address the issues that brought you into therapy. Your goals of increased life satisfaction, safety, and making positive life changes will always remain in focus in the therapeutic relationship. Together we will navigate how your past is impacting your present. Working to evolve from past trauma, emotions/situations that have kept you from attaining the life you desire.
