Have you ever played the game of Life? The board game with the cars and pegs, where you spin the wheel and try to live your best life with all the twists and turns that come with it. I believe we are all driving our little cars around on this journey, and sometimes we need an extra passenger to help us along the way. Whether you need guidance in decision making, a companion to drive away fear and loneliness, or confidence to take control of your life, sometimes we all need that passenger peg. Whatever point in this "game of life" you might be at, I want to join you and help you reach your goals.

All of us, at some time or other, need help. Whether we're giving or receiving help, each one of us has something valuable to bring to this world. - Fred Rogers. My passion is to help others find that value. Most of my focus is on those struggling with depression, anxiety, relational concerns, concerns with sexual health, and stress of life. I am a licensed counselor who works with clients from adolescents to adults, working with individuals, couples, and families.

Do you feel alone in a struggle? Are you or a loved one dealing with anxiety or depression? Is there an area of need in your relationship with your loved one? Healing in our lives can begin when we share our joys and pains, and if you have found yourself stuck, alone or just unsure about where to start, I would like to offer to be a part of that healing process.

If you are like many of my clients, you are a young adult that works hard. But like them, you are worried all the time. You have had some panic attacks. You are overwhelmed and stressed out. You want good grades and good relationships. You want to stop feeling overwhelmed and stop saying to yourself "I need to get my act together". You just want to know that you are making the right decisions for your future. Like you, my clients experience anxiety and they work with me because they want to stop feeling like they aren't good enough all of the time.
