You're ready for change. You want more for yourself and are set to take the next step to achieve it. As a life and leadership coach, this is where I come in. I work with clients in their quest to step into their fullest potential. Whether in their personal or professional lives, they have challenges they are striving to overcome, transitions they are working through, ideas that need clarifying, and goals they want to reach. I work with my clients in all of these arenas to help them connect with their best selves and create a pathway of significance and fulfillment in their lives.

At some point in our lives we all fall on hard times and face struggles that seem impossible to overcome and can leave us feeling lost. Allow me to help guide you towards the life that you want for yourself. My approach is person-centered, mindfulness-based and solution-focused, which means you lead the session and work towards goals that are meaningful to you. With 9 years of experience in mental health and yoga therapy I’ll help you learn the skills you need to build and maintain your personal recovery. Therapy allows us to make a commitment not only to ourselves, but also to our loved ones. Maybe it’s time to take the first step.

I specialize in treating individuals with anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem, and personality pathology. I offer individual treatment services for those who are experiencing difficulties and impaired functioning in handling life's challenges. You will work one on one with me, and we will focus on identified treatment goals. I also offer group treatment to provide the support that you may not otherwise have access to during your healing journey. I facilitate group therapy for various problems and populations based on needs within the practice.

The world we live in today can feel overwhelming, unpredictable, unfair and even scary. If you're experiencing significant emotional distress or maybe feeling stuck and stagnant, I hope we can talk soon about bringing more harmony into your life!

I believe a trusting relationship between counselor and client is important. I am comfortable working with individuals from diverse cultures and lifestyles and feel being accepting, objective, respectful, and genuine are essential characteristics for working with clients. My goal for the counseling process is to help clients gain personal insight, knowledge and tools that will facilitate continued growth and development after therapy has ended. As your counselor I do not have the answers to your dilemmas, instead I function as a facilitator of the process that will assist you with discovering your own solutions.

I am here to lend you my ear in your time of need. I can help your through your pain. IRISE Counseling Services can help you manage your life and help your achieve inner peace in troubled times.

In all of my experience, the issues that we face have not changed but the ways that we address those issues have. I know it can be hard to ask for help, especially when you don't see yourself reflected in the person that is supposed to help you; that ends today. Together we will explore issues, find solutions and get to the root cause of what you feel is holding you back. Let me help you to invest in, learn about and strengthen yourself with no judgment, so that you can grow and develop into your best self.

Life is full of transitions. Some are exciting. Some are scary. Some are both and more all rolled into one. It's important to have the best support you can for each set of transitions. I am here to support you while contemplating growing your family, during your pregnancy and the years to follow as you embark on your parenting journey. We all come to the table with our own history of experiences and being parented. This is the time many of us reflect on what we have experienced and the type of parent we want to be.

Stressed, overwhelmed, and restless minds are welcome here. Have you found yourself beginning to detach from life and relationships; unable to trust those around you, forgive those who hurt you or be your authentic self? Maybe you're tired of people telling you that you're "over analyzing things" or "being too hard on yourself", too sensitive or (gasp!) too spiritual! Meanwhile, you're constantly feeling unworthy inside: like a fraud, a failure, and falling short of the love, career, friends, and abundant life you desire. You've probably googled, "am I depressed" or "how not to be anxious". Traumatic encounters, issues in our family of origin, spiritual confusion and insecurity can leave you in an emotional tailspin.

If you are reading these words, you are most likely on medications or had previous counseling or perhaps you are looking for a different approach. If that is the case, as a Clinical Wellness mental health "Energy Doctor," I will teach you how to use the power of your "thinking" to heal your mind and stop that over-thinking. My "Energy Medicine" techniques and practices work well with or without medications. Teaching patients how to use these "mind stopping techniques " is just as effective as using medication!!! Call now for a full clinical assessment so you can begin to enjoy the benefits of a "quiet mind using EM...!"

"Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." Life happens everyday. Life can be overwhelming and at those moments choosing to get support from a professional is a great plan. Family, marriage, relationships, health, and work are all areas in which life happens. So whether you are currently experiencing or still struggling with stress, depression, trauma, relationship issues, divorce, palliative care (curable/chronic illness/pain/life-threatening), or are just in need of some self care, I am here to work with you towards creating balance in your life.

Is the stress of life overshadowing your joy and purpose? If so, know this, the most important person on the path of Wellness is YOU! Your courage and resilience have gotten you this far. However, it's never too early (or too late) to be intentional with your life and mental wellness. My Humanistic approach will not only give you a safe space to grow, it will help you heal emotionally and allow for you to move forward with purpose. Childhood Trauma? Complicated relationships? Feeling stuck? Lets work on creating opportunities for healing!

One of the most difficult times in a person's life is time of uncertainty. Are you confused as to the direction your life is headed? Do you have questions that you need help sorting out the answers to? Do you lack motivation and passion about your future? Do you have a vision with no focus? If you can answer yes to any of these questions then we need to have a conversation. Together we can work to analyze what would help add direction, zest, and vitality to your life. Who knows better than you what would make your life meaningful. My job is to assist you on the journey.

In my own life, I have recovered from many challenges. With the help of a Spiritual Director, I gained insight into how past experiences were negatively impacting present decisions. What I learned most is that survivors of any type of painful experience must process their pain. Processing pain requires confronting what has happened in a safe space. I understand first hand how difficult it is to trust your heart with someone else again. I certainly understand the "idea" that isolation, aggression or denial is a better option, but it is not. Proverbs 24:6 says that wise counsel helps you wage war and have victory.

I am not accepting new clients at this time. I am passionate about working with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, adjustment, depression, grief, body image, anger management, domestic violence survivors and other mental health related concerns.
