We all have a core desire to be loved, accepted, and valued. Each of us seeks a group to identify with, a small circle of people we can share our lives with, and a place where we can truly be ourselves. When you step into my counseling office, I want you to feel that you have entered that safe space. My goal is to provide an environment where you can be—or learn to be—your authentic self.

Because the world is not always a safe place many of us hide behind masks at times. To grow into the person we are intend to be, we must learn to remove these masks and embrace our true selves. Through my work with clients and my personal experiences, I have seen that we often wear masks because we view ourselves as marred, broken, or unacceptable. These feelings can stem from the actions of others or our own choices. My hope is that, through the counseling process, we can begin to heal the wounds, brokenness, and scars that lead us to hide our true selves.

It’s time to take off the masks!! We can live as the wholehearted person we are meant to be. I want to partner with you in this journey of removing the masks and becoming the person you aspire to be.
