"Anxiety is a thief. It robs us of our peace and happiness. Anxiety steals our ability to focus and concentrate making us less productive. It kills our creativity and can destroy our ability to hope for the best. From difficult but manageable symptoms such as elevated heart rate, shallow breathing and tension all the way to completely debilitating full blown panic attacks, anxiety touches all of us from time to time. However, when these issues begin invading our emotional and physical space on a regular basis our lives become disrupted and even unmanageable."

"My client comes to me questioning who they are (identity problems) and having problems functioning in life and especially relationships. They have usually experienced trauma and abuse as children and are seeking to break maladaptive coping habits that are causing them pain. My joy is to help them alleviate their anxiety, depression and alienation while supporting them in discovering who they were created to be. They find hope and self mastery in discovering their realistic best self"

"God never intended for us to face the problems in our lives apart from Him. He desires to be involved in the process of bringing about healthy and holy change in our lives. Jesus said that "Man shall not live on bread alone but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." I strive to base my counseling approach firmly on Scripture. The Bible is God's perfect, powerful, life transforming and saving word. God has spoken, definitively, regarding all areas of our lives. He, indeed, has the answer for whatever your problem(s) may be."

" At times it may feel like you are surrounded by bad situations in every area of your life, professional or academic, family and social. You may feel anxious, depressed hopeless and alone. In these times, it can be very helpful to have someone to help you navigate your way through these challenges to a state of mental wellness and stability. Learning to address feelings in a healthy way ensures mental wellness and prevents bitterness and feelings of discontentment that hold you back from our best lives. Counseling provides a safe and confidential space to learn skills and address feelings that likely impact many areas of your life."

"I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults. I Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approaches integrated with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Behavioral Therapy principles when working with my clients. I have experience as a behavioral technician with individuals diagnosed with ASD in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for about three years and hold my Registered Behavior Technician Credential. Throughout these roles, I have counseled individuals and groups, primarily children and adolescents, with with a range of mental health needs with a focus on social interactions and emotional regulation."

""Accept, choose, and take action." Those are key components of the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) style I embrace. ACT therapy encourages individuals to both seek a deeper understanding of occasional unpleasant realities in the world and choose to develop new behaviors which allow them to interact more successfully within that world. Because anxiety, depression and stress can interfere with living an enriched, meaningful life and realizing your valued goals, ACT serves as a way to "reboot" your thinking."
