“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves…Live the questions now. Perhaps you will gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” -Rainer Maria Rilke 

Life can be a tumultuous yet beautiful process of healing your mind, body, and soul. It is about holding space for your emotions, thoughts and sensations, allowing yourself to follow those different signals on your path to wholeness. I believe therapy can provide the opportunity to explore your path to healing and can serve as a reminder that you are not alone in this journey of life.  

As we begin this process together, I use a therapeutic approach that ensures you are the expert in your own life. I work collaboratively with you to explore a variety of techniques and holistic approaches to create a safe space that incorporates your specific needs. Adhering to a client and person-centered approach ensures an empathic and supportive environment without judgment for you to feel heard and understood. Together we will work to cope with the uncertainties of life, understand how past experiences shape our thoughts, and build trust to safely process traumatic experiences and maladaptive behaviors. I aim to support you in cultivating your purpose and meaning in life through examining your unique worldview, learning your story, and encouraging greater self-awareness, whether individually or through maintaining relationships. Together we will discover the tools and positive coping skills needed in order to find your joy and authentic happiness in life.
