"You don’t have to be positive all the time. Feeling sad, angry, annoyed, frustrated, scared, or anxious is perfectly okay. Having feelings doesn’t make you a “negative person.” It makes you human."
- Lori Deschene
“Understanding is the greatest gift that the world can give.”
A quote my grandmother often told me. Understanding is a gift, and everyone deserves to be understood and heard. Through guidance, but most of all collaboration, I want to help you discover the best solution in your best interest that allows you or your family to thrive. I won't lead your path, but rather accompany you on your journey, offering guidance and support. Together, we'll explore the various avenues of your life, paving the way for you to create a new chapter. I utilize narrative, solution-focused, strategic, cognitive-behavioral, experiential and Bowen family therapy while focusing on clients' strengths and resiliency while helping them discover new tools to cope with stress. I strive to assist families, children, couples, adolescents, and adults by helping them process emotions, expand skills, and improve their communication and relationships. My doors are open, and I welcome those who wish to enter.
