Our lives tend to be multi-faceted works of art, made up of many roles, relationships, and responsibilities. Oftentimes, we are able to adapt to changes in these roles and responsibilities with little or no difficulty; however there are times in our lives when change can cause distraction, negative feelings, and overall dissatisfaction with our lives. These times are when we can be empowered to discover our true authentic lives, within ourselves and our relationships, by engaging in therapy. During sessions, we will explore ineffective behavior patterns and perceptions to move forward into a better state of mind and lead a more fulfilling life.

Some people think that seeking psychological support or help indicates a weakness in character. In truth, it takes much courage to seek help! It is completely normal to seek help in our life's journey as we may face unexpected obstacles, challenges, and traumatic experiences. When we are faced with such experiences, we may feel stuck, frustrated, exhausted, and discouraged. In our work together, I strive to listen empathically, be attuned to your emotions, and provide encouragement to life's challenges. At opportune moments, I may provide psychoeducation and research findings to complement the counseling process.

One of the hardest parts of being neurodiverse is living in a world full of people who don’t get you. This can make us neurodiverse folks feel rejected, alone, and unworthy, which then creates many more mental health concerns. But, ironically, when we go to therapy for these problems, we are often met by a neurotypical therapist who doesn’t understand us either! As a neurodiverse therapist myself, I provide a level of personal understanding that, coupled with my years of education and experience, allows me to empower you to overcome mental health concerns that hold you back.

I have 25 years and an array of experience coaching, counseling and teaching in the areas of addiction, mental health, behavior issues with children, and parenting.

I believe we should be enjoying our lives but sometimes that is difficult. My overall goal is to help clients enjoy a full and happy life.

Being a student is hard and being a student athlete can be even more difficult as you have so many responsibilities that pull you in various directions. The stress you feel, you do not have to carry. My goal is to assist individuals in overcoming challenges and to reach their full potential. I will help you release the heaviness you are carrying. I believe progress toward individual goals cannot be met by a singular focus on the negative aspects of life, and we cannot build on holes. To reach our full potential, we need build on strengths, release anxiety, and transform our challenging experiences into future motivation and growth.

As a counselor, I have developed a specialty in working with clients who have experienced trauma in their lives.

For some people, therapy is a scary word. There’s been a lot of stigma around it for a long time. But for others it is relief. It takes courage to begin therapy, whether it’s your first time or you’re returning after several years. Life transitions and events can sometimes lead to overwhelming feelings of stress and you need someone to help you navigate through these difficult times. I want my clients to find relief from what they are experiencing and give them an outlet to express themselves. Therapy is self-care, and I want clients to view it as such instead of something they “have to do”.
