For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

If you're hesitant to try therapy, I want you to know that I’m not here to tell you how to live your life. Think of me as someone who helps you clear away the noise and reconnect with your own inner wisdom. My approach is open-minded, honest, and infused with a bit of humor, all backed by years of experience and proven methods. Together, we'll explore your possibilities and help you find the answers that have always been within you.

I am on a continual search for understanding what it truly means to be human.​ I believe that each of us carries an inner wisdom that guides us toward growth and authenticity. In a world full of distractions and external pressures, it’s easy to lose touch with that voice. In our work together, I’ll help you reconnect with yourself, uncover what really matters to you, and make choices that reflect your values and needs.

Therapy can be intimidating when you have no previous experience doing it before. Most people find that the first 5 minutes of the first session are the hardest part... and the rest is much... MUCH easier. Sharing the burden of your mental load is what a therapist is trained to do. Let us think on these things together to reach a better outcome.

Therapy can be stressful to decide to go into becuase we have little accurate information and education about what is involved and how to go about finding the individual who can best address your needs and wants. I respect some are more comfortable engaging in coaching services with me instead of therapy. Both involve some education and skill building and sharing of strategies. Be honest with yourself about what you want out of it or part of life is overwhelmingly stressful and try someone who states they address what you have identified for yourself. Nothing will change if we don't make a change. Therapy is a non-judgment, neutral, holding space with another individual who is trained to help. The right relationship can change everything.

I love exploring life with others whether it is in coaching, counseling or art therapy. Connecting with ourselves provides us with the most knowledgeable source of healing and ability to thrive.

Therapy can be scary! Vulnerability can be hard for many people. However, I am committed to providing a safe, nonjudgmental place where you can share the things that are going on in your life.
