I created Mind & Heart Counseling because value people and wanted to serve my community. I wanted a place where people can be their real selves, completely accepted, by someone who vows to be their most genuine self with you.

 

Each person is unique and so is what they come in with. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process. In fact, I pull from different treatment protocols to find what best fits you. This isn't a place where I tell you what to do or give advice, but a place where I join in with you in your process and we collaborate together to meet your needs. My goal is for therapy to be as efficient as possible, working through what we need to each session and maximizing a felt connection by undoing aloneness.
