— “A moment of self-compassion can change your entire day. A string of such moments can change the course of your life” —
C.K. Germer
Are you feeling stuck in an intolerable loop of depression or anxiety? Have life’s issues created obstacles that appear impassible? Have your struggles drug you down, disrupted your relationships, affected your job, and decreased your quality of life? Does it seem impossible to share how you feel without being judged or pitied?
My promise is to provide a neutral safe space; I will show up authentically, be fully present, listen, and walk alongside you on your journey to wellness. I believe that the potential and desire to grow lies in each of us, and by identifying and building on YOUR STRENGTHS, you will be able to move forward past your obstacles and toward your goals. Each client comes to counseling with a unique personality, different issues, distinctive learning styles, and personal experiences. It is my job to guide you in a modality of therapy that exemplifies who you are and get you started on a path to health.
That is why my approach to counseling is integrative as well as holistic. My goal is to help you foster your growth in a process that addresses ALL of you and is compatible with who you are, and guides you to a state of self-compassionate well-being.

Find and Give yourself Grace
I am passionate about helping people find their path to grace. I believe that through grace, we receive freedom from condemnation, guilt, and shame; we find true self-compassion and learn compassion for others.
In GRACE, we can find space for acceptance, the room to view our behaviors, thoughts, and emotions through an unbiased lens and learn to make decisions that cultivate a healthy spirit, mind, and body.
