The power of your challenges is temporary, and you don't have to face unwanted emotions alone. It's essential to address any hurt, shame, guilt, depression, or anxiety you might be experiencing. Life can be tough, and it's okay to take a step back and take care of yourself. Just like a boxer relies on a corner-man for guidance between rounds, I'm here to support you and help you prepare for the next phase in life, marriage, relationships, career, and finding your happiness. Some rounds may be more demanding than others, but together, we won't back down in the fight for your improved well-being!

Each of us is an individual with many thoughts, feelings and responses. You don't always know where your emotions come from or what to do with them. Sometimes thinking "I don't need to deal with this" emotion or situation it'll all just go away. Yes, you may be able to ignore those thoughts and emotions for a period of time but then all of a sudden you are ready to explode with emotions hurt, sadness, frustration, guilt, shame, anger. Being able to reach out even though may be uncomfortable talking to sort out your thoughts & feelings can help to provide you with skills to develop a happier more desirable life.

People pleasing and perfectionist tendencies leaves us drained, resentful, and disconnected from who we are at the core. You may be fed up with the pressures and expectations of doing “all of the things”, feeling stretched too thin or wish you had the inner strength to make yourself a priority. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to commit to the change. You’re ready to kick self doubt to the curb. Most of all, you’re ready to embark on a journey towards peace and purpose.

Do you need someone to talk to, but find it difficult to trust your friends or family? Do you have relationship problems? Have you been stricken with the loss of a loved one, and have no idea how to move forward? Do you feel you are failing as a parent, and need to regain normalcy? Have you recently become an "empty nester", and have forgotten who you are or how to live just for yourself? Has divorce turned your life upside down, and you are struggling to pick up the pieces? If you found yourself answering yes to any of these life stressors, then allow me to become your light back to the path of mental fitness.

I understand the vulnerability it takes to open yourself up to a therapist, and I promise to join you on your journey with patience, strength, and hope lighting the way. With collaboration and mindfulness, it is my goal to increase your tolerance for heavy emotions, integrate fragmented parts of the self, and discovered the uncharted territory barrier within your mind. I work with individuals and couples to explore experiences in attachment trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD, substance abuse, and other life changing experiences.

You're holding things together, barely. You’re hoping others won’t realize how nervous or out of place you feel. You’re constantly tired and just getting through the day is hard. Instead of enjoying the life that comes from your hard work, you isolated yourself from family or looking for comfort in the bottom of a bottle. You're restless, irritable, and tired of feeling like a failure and wondering what the hell is going on inside of you. You want real, meaningful change in your life and for your family. You just want to feel happy, but anxiety and depression keep you tied up in knots. You don't have to live like that any longer!

Seeking therapy for you or your child is a courageous step toward wholeness. Symptoms like lack of motivation, difficulty concentrating, or problematic mood changes are just a few reasons to seek help. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has worked with families for over 17 years. I have specialized experience treating children and adolescent victims of sexual abuse and other trauma. The power of healing is within us all. Yet, many times, we cannot do it alone. Teaming up with a qualified, practiced therapist can help achieve the emotional well-being you seek. I look forward to being on your team.

Are you feeling lonely, hopeless and empty? Do you have relationship problems or marriage difficulties? Do you feel that no one cares or understands you? You may have tried many different approaches but nothing have worked. I am here to assist you to find happiness in your life again.

I have been a behavior analyst for the last 20 years and have worked with a variety of children and adults in need of ABA services. Being a calm and positive have been assets to me in very difficult and challenging situations.

Oftentimes, it's helpful to be reminded that emotional peace and happiness are possible. Your interest in counseling suggests that you're ready to start the journey to achieving and sustaining emotional wellness. Whether you're seeking traditional "talk therapy" or if you're open to allowing nature to aide in the therapeutic process with "walk + talk therapy"---or if you're somewhere in between, let's partner to create a self-care plan that's tailored to address your specific needs and goals.

I have substantial experience working with children and adolescents in the following areas: emotional and behavioral issues, trauma, adoption and foster care issues, grief/loss, learning and developmental disabilities, anger management, family/relational problems, communication and social skills, self-injurious behavior, anxiety and stress management, LGBTQ population, attachment issues, and emerging adult/life transitions.

Life does not always come easy and can present us with very difficult challenges. These challenges impact our lives and often cause us to feel alone, ashamed, afraid, inadequate, overwhelmed and lead to isolation, withdrawal, risky behaviors, and decreased functioning in social, work, or other areas of life. Unfortunately, in our struggle to cope, our emotional and mental health needs have often been minimized, pushed down, or completely ignored. Therapy often helps us navigate these challenging times and attain more fulfilling lives.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your OWN story! You deserve to live a life that leaves you excited to wake up every morning. You want to connect with someone who is real and can empathize with your experience. I am as real as they get! The first step, making a call to a therapist, can be the most difficult step of the entire process. Take a moment and a few deep breaths and call to see how I can help. Life is too short to be weighed down with stress, anxiety, or trauma from past experiences. You deserve to be free of emotional worries and able to create a life worth living.

I strive to create a safe, accepting environment where individuals can fully explore thoughts, feelings and behaviors while learning appropriate coping skills and effective problem solving techniques. My training as a social worker encourages me to focus on an individual's strengths and build upon these to create realistic and achievable goals. I truly believe that individuals can create a more satisfying and happy life for themselves through the process of psychotherapy. I look forward to taking this journey with you.
