Society Today is faced with multiple Life stressors ranging from Financial, Marital, Relational, issues with employment and or Life In General. Through Therapy, an Individualized Improvement Plan can be devised and implemented to assist individuals with coping and possibly overcoming the issues they are facing. Adolescents and Teens are complicated, and I am eager to assist. Teen groups are available as well as individualized treatment. Two people working together are always better than one. As a therapist I have learned the more input a client contributes to their therapeutic goals the better the outcomes and success possibility.

Life can bring many changes, obstacles and difficulties, and it is my passion to help others navigate these challenges.

There are times when all of us need to talk. We really need another person to just truly listen and hear what we have to share.

Hello and welcome. For nearly 10 years I have been in practice and have worked in a variety of settings. During this time I have had the privilege of working with some incredible people and have learned a lot about myself and the process of counseling when it comes to relationships with others and the relationship we have with ourselves. If you are searching for a provider who can effectively address issues within a marriage, family, or any other form of relationship than I would be happy to speak with you!

Are you in need of someone who can provide a listening ear? Whether you are looking for counseling for yourself, significant other, or family member, I am here to listen. It is my goal to help clients move past difficult life events, whether grief, loss, anxiety, depression, or trauma, by building a counseling relationship based on trust in a non-judgmental atmosphere. We will work on this together using various methods including but not limited to Mindfulness (self awareness), DBT (short term therapy), and Person Centered Approach (self-guided therapy).

My primary focus as a counselor is helping clients reach their highest potential. Sometimes clients come to me when they are lost and feeling unsure what their next steps need to be. Other times clients are aware what they want their path to be, they just need encouragement and accountability to get themselves there. No matter the reason a client is coming to counseling, I work towards being one of their biggest cheerleaders.

I have always said that I wanted to be a safe space for those who have experienced high levels of trauma and never felt as if they had somebody truly in their corner. Whether it be a child who is struggling to make it through the day to day because they feel different because of their life experiences, or an adult who is finally ready to feel the freedom that comes from healing, I desire to be a safe space for that individual. Trauma stole your balance, and you should absolutely be willing to fight for it to return.
