LSCSW

I believe that every person is a worthy individual created to experience joy and meaningful relationships. There are deep longings within all of us that if met in healthy and productive ways can lead to a fulfilling life free of addictions and strongholds. My work with clients seeks to address the emotional, cognitive, physical, and spiritual needs that have gone unrecognized, perhaps wreaking havoc on your wellbeing and relationships. My goal is to help you cultivate a life of peace and purpose rather than chaos and despair. I believe in working hard and laughing harder during the therapeutic process as we all flail our way to health and wellness together.

“I am absolutely convinced that meaninglessness does not come from being weary of pain; meaninglessness comes from being weary of pleasure. And that is why we find ourselves emptied of meaning with our pantries still full.” – Ravi Zacharias
