I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I have always known that helping people was what I wanted to do. I believe that we all do the best that we can with what is presented to us but can get stuck trying to manage life's challenges and dealing with past, impactful experiences. I believe that, with a willingness to reflect on self and to try new skills, anyone can change and regain control of his or her life. I really enjoy helping clients work through traumatic experiences but also work with general anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and everyday stress.

I specialize in depression and anxiety in women. I enjoy working with women struggling with generalized depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, abusive relationships, divorce recovery, pregnancy depression and anxiety, postpartum depression and anxiety, traumatic labor and delivery, miscarriage, and loss.

I would like to take the opportunity to welcome you to a place of healing and growth. One of the leading principles that guide my practice is helping you rediscover your personal power to direct your own life in a meaningful and healthy way. So many different types of hardships can rob a person from recognizing their personal power. They can come to believe they have no choices. Trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, abuse, loss, illness, addiction and other hardships can cause a person to live day to day in an endless cycle of struggle. Common life stressors like college, job, divorce, or retirement can be hard to manage as well.

Ideal clients are people who realize they are struggling. They work up the courage to seek help even if it is scary or uncomfortable. People can have a wide range of issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma. The list is endless! Regardless of the issues, everyone in counseling deserves to be in a safe, respectful, and supportive environment while they work through whatever is keeping them from living their best life. These clients want to feel better, live better, and cultivate personal growth. The underlying hope when choosing to seek counseling is to progress beyond the pain and celebrate the ability to overcome.

My primary clinical experience lies in developing coping skills and identifying goals for adolescents and adults during transitional periods in their lives, such as, college and career counseling, pre- and post-marital counseling, and infidelity recovery. Moreover, I specialize in treatment for ADHD/ADD and offer a variety of treatment methods. Additionally, I have experience with mental health disorders varying from Personality Disorders, Bipolar 1 & 2, OCD, Depression, and Anxiety. My holistic approach to intake and treatment differentiates me from a mere psychological approach to diagnosis, assessment, and evaluation.

Life can feel challenging, overwhelming and perplexing! Do you just want the fog in your mind to clear? Was the previous year more than you can handle? If you find yourself lost in transition, existing but not living, seeking clarity, direction, or purpose, and just feel like breaking while trying to hold it all together? You’re in the right place. Change can be difficult, painful and messy but there is a beautiful story that you get to write if you go through the process. Allow me to journey with you as we work to un-complicate things. I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment for you to un-pack what's been weighing you down.
