I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 15 years of experience in the mental health field. I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, adults and families providing a supportive and safe space for growth and healing. I believe everyone has the ability to change and I am committed to helping my clients discover their strength and find their pathways in life. I am committed to building a safe, nonjudgmental, and collaborative relationship with my clients helping them find the change and improvement they need to live a happier and more fulfilling life.

Are you and your spouse not getting along? Arguing all the time or not talking at all.

Life is hard. There is no question about that. Yet each of us possess unique talents and gifts intended to enhance our individual journey. Unfortunately we often are so preoccupied with determining how we "measure up" to others, instead of focusing on making the best of our journey. Or sometimes life’s challenges can cause us to lose focus on all that we are and all that we have. Creating a shift in thinking to appreciate and utilize the uniqueness of self is essential to becoming one’s best. And ultimately, isn’t that what we are all truly seeking?

I work with children and adolescents seeking comprehensive evaluations in the areas of learning disabilities (dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia), ADHD, social-emotional and/or behavioral disorders, autism spectrum disorders, developmental delays and gifted. My goal in working with children and collaborating with their parents is to improve the overall quality of life for children and to prevent the development of more serious learning or behavioral challenges. Please note: I do not provide individual or group therapy services, only testing/evaluations and consultation services. Thank you for allowing me to be of service!

My therapeutic approach engages and guides each client into meeting their full potential by creating awareness and solutions to their current challenges by looking into their life experiences and life history. My personal theory is to treat each client as an individual; meaning all therapies are not beneficial or advantageous to all. By individualizing my therapy techniques and philosophy, it provides the client with the customizing they deserve. I am nonjudgmental and have an adept ability to establish rapport and trust easily with my clients. My goal is to help my clients achieve a healthier, stronger and happier well being.

I would describe my style as active and directive, focusing on assisting clients to gain insight while utilizing cognitive behavioral strategies to help bring about desired change. I enjoy dialogue and collaboration with my clients. I do recommend readings and give homework assignments as appropriate. I believe education is a major component of the counseling process. I work with individuals, couples and families ages 18+ addressing substance abuse/addiction, relationship issues, anger management, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, life transitional issues and gay/lesbian issues.

Do you desire to live a life that feels more meaningful, to experience more joy, to cope with life's difficulties in healthier ways or to reduce destructive patterns of behavior? If the answer is yes, therapy can help. I will create a non judgmental space to support and challenge you to reach your goals.

Please note - I am currently accepting clients, but have limited availability. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I work collaboratively with my clients to support them in their individual process of self-exploration and healing. Counseling offers an opportunity to take a step back and explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a safe, supportive environment. It is an active process where past and present life experiences can be discussed, choices can be evaluated, and skills can be learned and practiced. I believe a positive counseling relationship is critical for progress and growth.

Welcome! I am delighted that you have made a choice to embark on a brave journey towards self-actualization, healing, and growth. Do you feel anxious and overwhelmed? Are you sleeping? Have you experienced loss and traumatic events? Are you COVID exhausted? It is my privilege to work with you as we explore all that has brought you to seek counseling at this time. Let me help you TO NOT be a prisoner of your own mind!

You deserve a life full of possibilities, and the ability to be fully present, and hopeful. Let’s talk. You can have this life, full of balance, peace, and joy. Therapy is a two-way street, with your experience, and expertise in your own life driving the car. Therapy doesn’t have to be painful. Together, we will explore the strengths you are already using in parts of your life and learn to leverage these strengths to support you in recovering from stress, illness, and to improve relationships, work stress, and other concerns, such as trauma, addiction, depression, and anxiety. Our work will help find meaning and purpose.

I love what I do and it shows. I care about each and every one of you and we do all that we can do to help. I listen and find out what is important to you and then individually customize treatment as to best meet your goals. I use treatments that are shown to be the most effective according to research. I also draw on experience of what I have witnessed work the best. I look forward to speaking with you and assisting with accomplishing your goals.
