FAVORITE QUOTE BY JODI HILLS:

I wish for you an imperfect life and all the wonder that living can bring, the wealth that comes from knowing loss, the tears that find their way to laughter, the joy that grows after the rain, and the love felt deepest by through who have been carved by pain.

I hope that you can value this imperfection, hold onto it, so it gives you such comfort that you will embrace the beauty of all the imperfect lives that surround you, and then  you will be perfectly free to step to the beat of your own imperfect heart, and you will have truly lived.

Do you have you had a difficult time connecting with others? Do you have a good relationship with yourself?  It takes a lot of bravery to seek assistance and support for life’s difficult situations – you are not alone. Do you feel that you have a long-standing and complex mental health concern? What about this – are you having a difficult time connecting with your partner? Feeling stuck? These are some of the challenges that I have helped others (like you!) work through. We can problem solve and strategize on how to take your next step. 


Working with many diverse clients in difficult situations, I have an extensive background around racial, ethnic, diverse socioeconomic, and cultural issues. I am a counselor that is community-minded and believes in working with you to create brave choices while going in-depth on the paths you chose to explore in your therapy. I believe in working collaboratively together to develop practical steps to achieve solutions to immediate problems and proactive approaches to long-term issues.  Using a collaborative and strength based approach; I have been counseling people since 2010. How we treat ourselves is critical to our day-to-day lives, to our families, to our communities, to our future – you deserve a good relationship with yourself.

Those who are interested in taking a creative approach in therapy are welcome. Maybe you have writer’s block or you are stuck in your life and/or creativity. When working with individuals, couples, families and different cultures, I utilize my experience in the arts to help individuals express things creatively that they may be hard to express verbally. Some individuals do not think of themselves as “creative enough,” but, this is an option open to all clients I work with.  I believe that everyone deserves a good relationship with themselves.

Let’s work together to create a plan for you. If therapy with me doesn’t feel “right,” we will find someone who is a good fit for you.
