I offer no magic solutions; you will only get out of therapy what you are willing to put in it. Relationships take work, and you must have a willingness to look at yourself honestly in the process of creating a solution. I will help guide you in learning ways to communicate again and find common languages in your relationships. I use my skills to help you understand yourself, fill gaps in relationships, fill gaps that feel like they will never heal, and help heal wounds. I pride myself on telling my clients the truth and motivating them to choose boundaries that better their lives. I don't take sides and tell you like it is.

Life's challenges can be devastating; however they do not have to be allowed to destroy. You cannot change past experiences but through therapy, you can choose to change the impact and heal. Your time in therapy can be empowering, challenging and fulfilling. The effort you put into your desired change equals the results you will receive.

What would your life look like with less anxiety, healthier relationships, more productivity, improved self-esteem and better personal effectiveness? We are wired to want these things, but sometimes don’t have the tools to achieve them. We can’t change the past, but we can understand what is at the root of present-day challenges and move on from them. We will work to address career transitions, workplace reentry, and work-related trauma for women. We will tackle unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns that are preventing you from reaching your full potential.

I offer family therapy for children/adolescents and their guardians, as well as individual therapy for adolescents and adults. I specialize in working with families struggling with communication issues, behavioral problems, grief/loss, anger management, trauma/abuse and/or parent-child conflict. Family sessions may be most helpful to parents who feel stuck in their ability to communicate with their loved ones and are willing to work on addressing the problem in a collaborative environment. I view problems through the lens of a systemic perspective, taking into account the how a person's environment(s) may be affecting the problem.

What stops a person from growing mentally and emotionally? Could it be fear, past traumas or the uncertainty of the future? Even though growing can be challenging, the truth is that it is necessary. The questions then become, "How does one grow emotionally and mentally? Where do I start?" For anyone with these questions, counseling is an essential part of your growth. The growth begins with taking your first step by scheduling an initial session. Together, we will address the the thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that are holding you hostage. The sessions will be designed to grow you into the emotionally healthy person you want to be.

I believe in tailoring my approach to each unique case, as I believe each individual brings something different into the therapy room. I believe in setting collaborative goals to ensure you feel heard and that we are working towards the goals you have for your life.

As I work with clients, I become focused on not only helping them to achieve their goals, but to help them to see the good that was inside of them the moment they scheduled their first session. My "ideal" client is one who is willing explore their strengths, as we uncover the reason why they decided to seek counseling.

Welcome! I am here to help. Life can be very challenging & stressful. It can be full of hurt, misunderstanding, betrayal and loss. But it can also be full of hope, healing, growth and joy. I believe every difficulty in our lives brings an opportunity to grow stronger and find the fulfillment we all long for. Overcoming and flourishing are possible, regardless of circumstances around us. As a professional counselor, I have walked alongside people on their journeys to healing and wholeness since 1981. I have seen the triumph and beauty in the human spirit as it heals from trauma and loss and is restored to vibrancy.

There are times in life when we want or need help with situations and challenges that arise. Therapy can function as a space to work through those situations and challenges, thoughts, feelings, and ways of being so that life can be better lived in the ways you desire. It’s my job to work with you to figure out how you want your life to be, barriers in your life that can be removed or changed in your favor, and strategies and skills that may be helpful in getting you there.

I provide safe, nurturing sessions for individuals and couples to embrace the therapeutic process and work through current and past issues that may be causing additional stress/concerns .

I currently, accept clients for the following: crisis intervention, grief, depression, anxiety, stress, adjusting to life transitions, marital problems and pre-marital counseling.

*****Accepting new clients***** I believe the statement "If you do not like where you are move you are not a tree"..... When a tree is planted there it stands and grows with no chance of up rooting its roots and moving to another location. During a trees life it is subject to the daily dangers of the weather and other things that will tear it down. There are times when we may feel like trees in relationships and/or life situations and feel paralyzed, scared and hopeless in moving forward, believing there is no other way to be.

NOW ACCEPTING INSURANCE. Sometimes we just need to feel seen and heard and our struggles become clearer. Often times our issues resolve themselves when we take a closer look at what we’re truly believing and feeling about ourselves and the situation. You have the answers and there is nothing wrong with you. Whatever your current circumstances may be, I would be honored to assist you on your journey. I have been practicing therapy for over 10 years but more importantly I have done the work myself. The one thing I can promise is that it is easier with someone you trust. I hope I can be that person for you! Thank you.
