This is YOUR Time!

Counseling is a COMMITMENT. If you are not willing to commit, this will not work. You're here because something isn't working in your life. We've all been there. Counseling will create accountability and vulnerability and that has so much potential to change your life!

About

Embrace the Discomfort

Our greatest ability to change comes from stepping outside of our comfort zone. My goal is to tell you the truth. This is not always what you want to hear! There is great humility in being able to look at yourself in the mirror and face the things you don’t like about yourself; behaviors you participate in that you wish you wouldn’t and cycles you wish to break. Change is hard but so worth it! I challenge you to come on this journey with me in changing what you do, how you feel and how you think about yourself and your life. I have been practicing for over 13 years. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with life transitions, relationship struggles, marriage counseling, anxiety related symptoms, and boundary setting issues. I operate from a client-centered style of counseling, I pride myself on creating a casual and comfortable space for my clients to listen, learn and grow. I know you don’t know me yet, but it is so important to me that you feel like one day you can trust me! I truly believe all substantial therapeutic change is fostered by a strong relationship between therapist and client. I will push you…hard…but it will always be worth it! Embrace the discomfort and come along for the ride! Lets have some fun! Getting you in the door is a huge step and I am so proud of you for taking it! However, what matters even more is the effort and accountability it will take to continue to show up to counseling time and time again (even on the days you don’t want to but know you need to). I hope that counseling will become something you value, and I look forward to being on the journey with you. I sincerely hope to see you here…Back Again!
