— “As a therapist, I believe people have a core longing to be seen, known, and understood. It is a daily goal that each person I meet experiences warmth, acceptance, and safety in the therapeutic relationship, no matter life’s choices or circumstances. I believe that it is often relationships that have brought about injury, impacting current distressful experiences. Therefore healing, learning, and growing in this way toward yourself and others is often what helps to set one free to live the quality life hoped for. I work with individual men, women, couples, and families and help them navigate difficult life circumstances, learning to connect with themselves and one another in healthy ways. My goal as a therapist is to help people I work with move toward what is meaningful in life amidst a history of trauma and hardship.”
