Supportive, Client Centered Mental Health Services VISION Every person is unique and each of us has a story. Our stories are filled with a special blend of feelings and experiences. Sometimes our stories are so frightening and painful that we are afraid to share them with others. Your story matters. I am here to listen, explore the impact of your story with you and help reinforce your skills to move forward. I believe, in addition to traditional methods of therapy, that by creating a safe space and assisting with deeper understanding of the spiritual self, we can walk together on your path to wholeness. We can work together to increase your sense of interconnectedness as we work towards reaching wellness goals. By working together with a holistic, multi-faceted approach towards healing you, we will bring insight into the complex being that is you. I'm hear to support you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.
