Our Teams

I believe we all have the capacity to evolve, and transform the ways in which we navigate, and derive meaning from the experiences we encounter on our life journey.

We cannot change what has happened to us, but we can change what we do with it.

I believe therapy is a relationship that helps the client to overcome the challenges which, in the past, have held you back.

I view each client as the author of their own story. I am committed to understanding your specific context, as we journey together towards healing.

You deserve to feel empowered and unlock your potential.

There is tremendous freedom in not believing every thought we have. Understand that we are the thinker of our thoughts, not the thought itself.

I believe that we all have the potential to live authentic and full lives. We each have the power to ground ourselves, reconnect with others, and give ourselves compassion.

I believe anyone can change, regardless of how they started in life. You do not have to feel defined or restrained by your mistakes, past, disorders, flaws, or family.

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. - Carl Rogers

"Change is a process, not an event."

The landscape you went through and those that went through you constitute you.

I will meet you where you're at, and help walk you through the process of your individual healing.

I will meet you at your level of readiness for change and support you, as you strive towards authenticity, liberation, and growth.
