As a counselor, my belief is we do the best we can with what we know. I believe there is a need behind behaviors and once that need is identified and addressed, new behaviors can develop. We need a space that we can be heard, validated, and learn new ways to tackle difficulties in our lives. I specialize in working with children and families with concerns such as anger, anxiety, depression, grief and social problems by increasing understanding and coping strategies.

Do anxiety, generation trauma ("what happens at home stays home" and never resolved), sexual abuse, addiction and insecurities run your life more than your values and dreams? Do you relive the past as if it were happening right now? Your head knows better, but it fails to convince your heart otherwise. As challenging as those experiences were for the past, they continue to zap away your joy and confidence today. You might even avoid situations that trigger the feelings.

Are you struggling to find ways to look at the troubles confronting you, and would you like to develop new ways to approach them? By using an integrative application of a variety of therapeutic approaches we can discover what seem to fit you as a person as we talk it out.
