The challenges of everyday life can sometimes be overwhelming. Achieving a balance between relationships, career, and daily responsibilities while still caring for your personal and emotional health needs can be difficult.

If you've been struggling with life stressors or relationships, counseling can provide an outlet to talk about those concerns, learn new coping skills, and get a handle on any emotions that are weighing you down.

Life is inherently challenging & we all find ourselves struggling at times. Emotional pain is part of our experience as human beings, it does not define us. In my practice I start by meeting a client where he or she is.

I enjoy working with clients to discover what needs to change and the best path to get there. I welcome whatever you bring and offer an open compassionate space to explore, heal and grow.

Law enforcement officers, first responders, correctional officers, and veterans have unique jobs, they experience things civilians couldn't imagine, they have mental health needs that aren't "the usual" everyday need.

This is why it is important to maintain confidentiality and continue to work towards goals of decreasing these symptoms and increasing a healthier way of processing what they have been exposed to. Working with an experienced therapist the client feels they can trust is important.
