I feel privileged each time an individual is willing to share their story with me and genuinely believe that everyone has the ability to achieve healing despite their life experiences. My clinical focus is on children, adolescents, and young adults and I am passionate about assisting these individuals in navigating through the difficult elements of their journey.

If you are looking to make changes and see yourself finding a new sense of purpose, please reach out. In today's fast paced world, we often find ourselves feeling completely isolated and that we can't reach out to anyone. From our first session, we will work to identify the habit loops that created our present and learn how to create the future you want for yourself, your friendships, and your family.

I have worked with various ages and issues, including depression, anxiety, and trauma. My counseling style is warm, empathic, and genuine. My approach is primarily cognitive-behavioral and humanistic. I believe that in many instances, our thought patterns directly affect our emotions and, subsequently, our behavior. I come from a viewpoint that you are the expert of you. No one knows you better than you! I look at myself as a guide and allow my clients to dictate the course and direction of counseling.

I must be perfect. I will fail. I'm permanently damaged. I cannot trust myself. Do these, or other negative beliefs feel true, even though you may know they're not true? Do you struggle with a past that you try to keep pushed away but it keeps interfering with your life? Do you feel like your experiences have left wounds that you wish would just heal, but they continue to impact you physically, emotionally or relationally? I can help you find freedom from those nagging thoughts, emotions and body sensations that are preventing you from living the life you want to live.

Everyone can utilize counseling at one time or another in their life. We all struggle with issues or problems that we need help working through. Therapy is not a bad word. It takes courage and strength to admit that you need help and take the steps to get that help. I provide a safe, compassionate environment for you to talk about issues. I work with adolescents, teens, adults, families, and the elderly. I believe we are mind, body and spirit; all three of these need to be in line to be a whole, healthy person. I believe in the power of prayer and how it changes our lives.

Life can be a chaotic mess. Especially for adolescents and young adults trying to learn about themselves while navigating environmental pressures. Challenges such as first jobs, new relationships, evaluating potential career paths, and exploring new identities can lead to increases in anxiety, anger, and self- esteem issues.

Painful experiences can leave us feeling completely alone. Sometimes we just need someone to meet us where we are to find a way to move forward. Healthy relationships can be difficult to navigate, especially when there is a lifetime of hurt getting in the way. I want to help you create healthy, fulfilling, nourishing connections with those you care about. Along with anxiety and depression, I am passionate about working with those who have dealt with trauma.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples or families who are ready to grow and change. In most areas of life today stress and conflict are rampant and can steal our joy making it difficult to see the good things in our life. Career stress, school pressures or even work related or childhood trauma is becoming more and more common in this country. These days it is easy to get overwhelmed and discouraged. It is my belief that most of us need to make it a priority to slow down, examine our life-current, past and future-in order to live with purpose and peace in the midst of a rapidly changing world.

Life can feel overwhelming. Past experiences can shape our present view of life, thoughts, and behaviors as well as impact the future. Trauma is not a theirs is worse than mine experience, we each experience and react like the amazingly unique beings we are. Feelings like shame, guilt, embarrassment are just a few of the residual emotions left by traumatic experiences. Those can create an unhealthy view of ourselves and can lead to a decline in mental health. Overcoming negative life experiences can be similar to opening the curtains making the dark disappear and letting the light back in our lives.
