"Struggling with thought or mood disorders can make day-to-day struggles less than easy to manage. With realistic short and long-term goals, life management is possible. I am a strong advocate for the idea that a counselor is like a mirror. I am here to help guide you to a better understanding of yourself. The goal is to aid you in recognizing patterns within yourself and help motivate you to utilize coping skills to overcome difficulties you are currently facing in your life. Reaching out for counseling can be intimidating and scary. I want you to know you are not alone. "

""Ruin is the road to transformation." I believe experiences shape who we are and embarking on a different experience in a therapy setting can alter your experiences outside of the office.

"Are you having too many days filled with conflict between you and your child that end in a fight or meltdown? We talk and our kids cover their ears and walk away like they’ve heard nothing we’ve said. Why did no one tell us how inconvenient putting on shoes or brushing hair was for kids?! We hear ourselves becoming that parent we told ourselves we’d never be and see our kids acting how we promised they never would and we’re not sure how to fix either. "
