My goal is to facilitate individuals and families as they seek to achieve a holistic and balanced personal and professional quality of life. I operate from the core belief that people are whole, thus providing treatment from a comprehensive approach to physical, emotional, spiritual, and familial health and wellness. My treatment approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused treatment, and mindfulness-based practices.

I feel that each child/adolescent and their family have a unique story that is different and individualized and should be treated as such. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution focused therapy (SFT), behavior modification as well as other treatment modalities to address the patient’s needs.

The two goals I am passionate about when working with clients are "Being a Catalyst for Change" and "Empowering individuals and families to function in healthier relationships, as well as healthier, happier lives." Too often people walk around numb, fearful and stuck in their lives and relationships. It is my belief that you have the capacity to move towards living an abundant and authentic life. My job is to walk alongside you to challenge and inspire you in your journey.

By exploring those situations that are causing issues, we can work to develop healthy solutions. Often times, it can be helpful to walk through the issue with a seasoned professional. NO INSURANCE NEEDED. Appointments available! *I am also an LGBTQ+ Affirming Ally.*

It's time to make that important step in seeking change. I believe in the support counseling offers to overall health and wellness. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults since 2003. Call today and see what you are capable of doing for yourself or your family.

Life is HARD. Many times we get "stuck in the hard." I don't want you to be stuck anywhere! I believe we can journey through the struggle together, empowering you to a stronger, healthier life. I am passionate about empowering clients and assisting them in creating the life that they desire.

The world is different today and we are all in uncharted territory. Change is often uncomfortable, and it is normal to grieve when our world drastically changes due to loss of a relationship, a job, a friendship, trauma, illness and even life changes. In times of crisis, we can uncover opportunity. We discover inner resources and resiliance. Exploring thoughts, feelings, fears, and successes helps us sort out what's not working while building upon our strengths. The safe space in therapy provides support and strategies needed to adapt and thrive during uncertainty, crisis and inevitable life changes.

*Now accepting new clients for evening and weekend telehealth (online) appointments!* You've made the life-changing decision to ask for help. Now, as a licensed professional counselor with over 10 years of experience, it is my goal to provide the safe therapeutic environment you need to work through the challenges you are facing. As the founder of Access Therapy Services, LLC, I am passionate about making quality mental and behavioral health services more accessible to those experiencing barriers to receiving therapeutic services in an office setting. My practice exclusively provides telehealth services.

I believe we all have a story of how we think our lives are going to play out in our heads. When that story does not come true it leaves us feeling lost, sad, and sometimes angry. I provide a safe place to help people be able to make sense of life and start rebuilding themselves and their relationships.

Life can deal all of us some challenging times, I'm here to help on that journey. My goal is to help you better understand, resolve and find solutions to the challenges and/or trauma in your life. I have an active and transparent approach. I respect that you are the expert in your own experiences, and aim to work collaboratively to help you achieve your goals.

With a healthy balance of listening, guiding & learning, I focus on helping you overcome any obstacle & put you on the path to healing. In my sessions, I'll provide the therapeutic support to help you overcome past trauma, resolve a current problem, or develop positive coping strategies for life’s difficulties. I see all clients as more than just another appointment. My methods are built on compassion & a genuine desire to improve the quality of life for every client.

I address each individual, family, or couple's needs from a systemic perspective and offer individualized treatment. Life can be difficult and it certainly isn't void of obstacles. I believe in using the strengths you already have to overcome those obstacles while discovering new and exciting strengths along the way.

We treat children, adolescents and adults with behavioral issues, mood disorders, developmental and personality disorders. I work with parents to develop behavioral plans for their homes and families to supplement the therapy done with their children/adolescents in my office.

I am passionate about supporting the growth or rediscovery of hope in my clients. I counsel children, adolescents, and adults with concerns including depression, anxieties, mood instability, behavioral problems, difficult transitions, relationship dynamics, and issues related to stress and trauma. I also provide guidance to parents on how to best support a child's behavioral change and emotional health.

I believe that each person is the expert of their life. I also believe that at times we all need an objective person to listen and to help us find our center. I strive to meet each person where they are, no judgements, no preconceived ideas. I believe that counseling is not about labeling problems, it is about developing coping skills, gaining self awareness and self understanding. Together we find ways to uncover your strengths and live a more meaningful life.

NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Thank you for taking a moment to consider me for your counseling needs! I'm a counselor that specializes in children and adolescents, but has a wide scope of experience, ranging from severe mental illness, to parenting, to women's empowerment, and grief. I believe that the best counseling experience is derived when a person feels empowered enough to challenge their own comfort zone and explore their vulnerability, and I actively work to be the counselor that a client can do that with.

Thank you for taking time to consider counseling. You do not have to tackle this life alone! I believe that every person has value and purpose. We are all made to be great in our own way. When life does not work out the way we intended, whether it is due to addiction, depression/anxiety, or any other life transitions, you have the opportunity to be the greatest version of you in how you respond to each circumstance/situation.

If you are experiencing a challenging time in your life personally or professionally, need assistance working through a conflict or you are simply seeking personal growth, I am here to journey with you along the path; providing Support, Acceptance, and Guidance towards your Enlightenment (SAGE).

Navigating childhood and adolescence is no easy task. Today, children face many obstacles: family dynamics, peer relations, educational demands, self-esteem, anxiety, and perfectionism are just some of the hurdles that come with living in today's world. Our children need a healthy emotional and psychological outlet as they navigate life. My job is to assist you and your child in learning to cope with or overcome life's challenges.

My primary approach in therapy is cognitive-behavioral, but I work with each individual to tailor our work to achieve your own goals. I have a firm belief in the ability of everyone to change their thinking, coping strategies and relationship skills. It would be an honor and a pleasure to be your guide and support in this journey.
