My approach is laid-back, and person centered; the majority of the sessions I conduct are typically directed by the client. My own struggle with mental health issues began at a very young age. I have dealt with depression and anxiety- later figuring out that I had gone undiagnosed with ADD. I have personally participated in therapy services, and based on those experiences have tailored my approach to counseling based on what is most affective. We all deserve a safe space in which to be heard without judgement, and it is important to find a professional that you can relate to when you need help.

My goal is to help you reach your best potential, to learn how to let go of the negativity that may be holding you back, and feel more confident within yourself.

Do you know the secrets to a happy romantic relationship? Relationships can be confusing. Couples who call me say that they've "lost interest in each other", and sometimes "don't even want to go home at night".

They've stopped being affectionate with each other and feel as though their partner stopped seeing them as important. Somehow the magic left their relationship. The dance has ended.
