“I believe therapy is a collaborative effort between the client and therapist. While a person may know what they want, they may not understand how to change. My role as a therapist is to create a safe environment through compassion and non-judgment so that a person can talk about past hurtful events. By confidently talking through the past, a person gains an understanding of what needs to change to create the life they want to be living.”

“I’m always amazed at the creativity and resilience revealed in the counseling relationship, and I enter into it with immense gratitude! The stories we craft and those which we learn hold the potential to provide great strength or cause us to lose sight of what really matters to us. It is my goal as a counselor to be an ally in the exploration of what truly fits for my clients and to examine how thoughts, language, emotions, and actions either move us toward our authentic selves or cause us to feel stuck. I love working with individuals, couples and groups! I look forward to sharing space with you as we explore how you are creative, not created!”

“Ironically, those of us who have suffered the most in this life are uniquely qualified to create and appreciate an existence bursting with joy, contentment, and unbelievable abundance. Because we have survived such painful depths of darkness, we are now exceptionally prepared to thrive in the bright light of what life truly has to offer.”

“A person is a fluid process, not a fixed and static entity; a flowing river of change, not a block of solid material; a continually changing constellation of potentialities, not a fixed quantity of traits.”

“Everyone loses their way at some point, and it’s not just because of their mistakes or the decisions they make. It’s because they’re horribly, wonderfully human. And the one thing I’ve learned about being human is that we can’t do this alone. When we’re lost, we need help to try to find our way again.”

― T.J. Klune, Under the Whispering Door
