I enjoy working with clients that want to enrich their narrative and explore the unique aspects of their identity and relationships. I accept, without judgement, individuals that seek to deepen connections with themselves, their partners, and other meaningful relationships they seek to maintain and strengthen. I have experience working with clients that have co-existing health conditions and complex traumas, that they wish to untangle and examine to learn from their experiences to better their future and quality of life.

I started my career as an electrical engineer in the aerospace industry, working and leading teams for the International Space Station and a satellite mission. Wanting to work more closely with people, I switched to business strategy consulting, traveling to Fortune 100 companies on a weekly basis for two years. While I got the chance to solve complex problems, I realized I wanted to help people solve the problems that mattered to them at a deeper level. This, coupled with my own recovery journey, is what drives me to do exceptional therapy work today.

My personal philosophy and approach to counseling begins and ends with grace and a willingness to enter into my clients’ experiences alongside them. I became active in this field because I have an authentic, listening heart that desires to see people live as whole, healthy, individuals. My interests include depression, anxiety, self-esteem, peer and family relationships. With a master’s degree in education and experience working in schools, I also provide academic, social, and emotional support. Treatment plans are created based on the individuals' needs and combine evidenced based practices with personal wellness.

You have been struggling with your feelings lately. It feels like they are messing up your life; some days you even feel crazy. You've been feeling stressed and overwhelmed. Your family and friends are starting to notice, but they haven't been as supportive as you would hope. This has been a difficult season, and you are tired of feeling like this. Although these feelings are confusing and you may feel alone with them, I want to let you know you are not alone. I can help you rebalance your life.

As a clinical therapist, I am dedicated to providing a safe, supportive and comfortable environment for my clients to share their stories and experiences. I am here to offer guidance and support while helping clients navigate through life’s challenges and transitions that may create feelings of anxiety, stress, or depression.

Accepting New Clients! I am passionate about working with children and their families to collaborate together to make a strong impact to promote healing and improve family functioning. I work with children of all ages who may experience difficult situations or experiences in their lives such as adoption, ADHD, anxiety, Autism, emotional and behavioral issues, school disruption, and trauma. I specialize in using play therapy to help children learn to self-regulate, improve executive functioning, increase self-esteem, deal with trauma, increase social skills, and develop positive relationships.

Has something occurred recently that pushed you over into unfamiliar territory and is causing anger, anxiety, depression? I have helped hundreds of people, adults, adolescents and children reconcile these issues, identify wants and needs, and achieve resolve for a more satisfying life today, and promising tomorrow, for this generation and the next. I am a parent & child advocate, family & individual therapist, and pastoral confidant. My work with families & individuals, young and old, help them achieve understanding, meaning and direction for the current issue of today, and those that will occur in the future.

I come from a judgement-free space where you can feel supported and encouraged to make positive changes in your life. Therapy can sometimes be a challenging process as you try to learn about the person you are now and who you want to become. But I am here to make you feel comfortable and confident in the progress you make towards a better life!

You've found yourself sitting in the car a little longer each day. Secretly, you sometimes hate going to work or arriving home. Breathing deeply, you brace yourself before walking into the chaos. You feel overwhelmed, overworked, & unseen. It's incredibly lonely being everyone's everything. Frustrated you think, "What is work-life balance?" As a mom or working woman, you are struggling to keep it all together. Life shouldn't feel like this! It's time to rediscover yourself and prioritize YOUR needs. I can provide the tools to help you find the balance & rest you deserve. Your professional & personal life will change for the better!

I believe while therapists may be the experts of therapy, clients are the experts of themselves. Part of what this means is that you are responsible for your energy and direction of the treatment process. I will help you develop and facilitate your goals, and then you will be the one responsible for doing the work. This could mean there is work to be done between sessions, collaboration with other outside people, or opportunities to embrace difficult moments. Therapy is not about a “fix.” It is about healing and growth, both of which take time and effort. I believe most of you are hurting now. I honor and revere that.

We focus on the "whole person". An Integrative approach to finding and maintaining new habits that lead to a better version of yourself. We are life coaches, health coaches, nutrition and wellness coaches. We do not diagnose or treat mental health. Our priority is to coach and support you into becoming the best version of yourself in various areas of your life such as relationships, co-parenting, fatherhood, manhood, stress management and weight management.

If you feel unsure on how to navigate through daily life stress, you're not alone. Sometimes we get caught up in the different roles we fulfill and lose ourselves in the process. Maybe you've coped with mental and emotional instability by suppressing how you feel or have engaged in negative behaviors that make the situation worse. Whatever your going through, it won't define who you are nor should you allow it to hold you hostage. You have the inner strength to push through any circumstance, all you need is support and the right motivation.

Are you going through transitions in your life such as changing careers, getting married, having a baby, or going through a divorce? These transitions can bring on anxiety, depression, and can increase existing mental health concerns. I will work with you to find the best solutions for you to get through these life changing events in a healthy manner. I have a strong interest in working with women who are having perinatal concerns such as miscarriages, postpartum depression and psychosis. I hold a certificate in Perimental Health. I am here to provide a safe space for you while you discover your own strengths in the healing process.

You've been feeling inadequate, weak, & misunderstood. As if your feelings and voice do not matter. You are feeling emotionally & mentally unstable. Your attempts to feel grounded & lay down roots have been met with unbearable stress & loneliness. You begin feeling angry because it seems like others around you have it all figured out. You are left wondering if there is something wrong with you. You are eager for a change, but you’re unsure where to ask for help. You have heard about therapy on social media & through word of mouth, but you find it risky opening up to a stranger. I am here to let you know those feelings are normal.

Life truly is challenging at times. We may experience pain, grief, trauma, and fall on uncertain times losing our balance and sense of self. Working together in therapy can help us explore barriers to living a full and happy life while allowing us a safe space to share our innermost thoughts and feelings. If you’re feeling like you need guidance in finding ways to manage your stress, anxiety, depression, or recent loss, I’m here to help. We may not be in control of everything life throws our way, but we can always find ways to cope and move forward. Together, we can address your needs and create goals tailored to you.
