It's nice to meet you! As a Licensed Professional Counselor at Gilbert Counselors LLC, I draw equally from my professional training and the insights I've gained throughout my 30+ year marriage and experiences raising two now-grown children. I think most of us would agree that we're living in challenging times. Many of us feel anxious and pessimistic about the future. We may feel unable to draw pleasure and comfort from our most important relationships or stuck in destructive patterns we believe we're powerless to change. Some of us are facing difficult life transitions or overpowering feelings of loneliness and isolation.

Finding value, worth, joy, and passion in life is often difficult due to personal hang-ups, breakdowns in communication, and feeling as though emotions and feelings are stunted or underdeveloped.

Vulnerability and transparency are often difficult to access and within our therapeutic work we will create space to invite, sit with, and embrace the uncomfortable to grow.
