My ideal client is seeking increased freedom to remove barriers to growth, and to work toward meeting self-identified goals while building on current strengths. Whether struggling with worrisome anxiety, feelings too depressed to enjoy, or behaving in ways that the client wants to change, I tend to take a person-centered, supportive approach to helping.

Life happens, and sometimes life happens hard. Do you find that when you fall, you have a hard time getting back up again? Do you feel stuck and like you can’t find your way out? I often come across people just like you; feeling a loss of identity, questioning themselves, and whether or not they have purpose. The hurt and pain you’ve endured can obscure this one truth: YOU, My Dear, have purpose.

Counseling is not just an educational endeavor for me, it is my true life’s passion. As my primary spiritual/natural gift, my purpose on earth is to utilize my counseling skills to serve others in any capacity that I can.

Our goal in therapy would be to examine your emotional well being and how it impacts your life. While you process through everything from past trauma to current conflicts, it is significant to know that your growth and healing is what is most important to me.

We have all faced mounting moments of adversity, trauma, and tragedy. Those moments can cause one to feel rejected, overwhelmed, and hopeless. The stressors of life can cause you to feel like it is too difficult to continue. However, difficult does not mean impossible.

I just wanted to make it to the big stage. The constant wondering of what will happen if I don’t turn out to be this amazing athlete that I was told I was so destined to be. No one told me it would be this hard. All I ever heard was "you can do anything you put your mind to." What does that even mean? Well, that didn't work out for me, or at least I had a perplexed understanding of this perspective. Why jump off the porch if a stable way down can be offered. Let’s work together to Keep UP the Score.

Do you feel overwhelmed, smothered or even confined? Is there a painful truth that your life appears to slow down when you want desperately for it to fast forward? Does it somehow seem to be on repeat but you and the issue (at hand) are the only constants? Has life dealt you so many blows that it seems as if bliss if unimaginable anymore? Are you searching for answering and are tired of quick fixes? The truth is life is a cycle of never ending repeats and if you do not recognize the patterns and make conscious changes where needed, the cycle can be vicious and detrimental.

I incorporate several therapeutic techniques and interventions that are designed for the individual client that includes but not limited to; person centered, brief solution-focused, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
