So what makes me different from all of the other therapists whose profiles you’ve been reading? I believe that YOU are the expert when it comes to helping YOU. My role in our counseling relationship is to create a safe and inviting space where you can exhale, then together we can address your concerns, and explore your story. As we build our alliance, you will learn to use your own strengths to guide you towards personal growth, deeper self-understanding, and peace of mind.

I am an advocate of all “things” mental health and a firm believer in the benefits of therapeutic interventions. I have learned from my 20 years of service in the Navy and my career as a therapist that navigating life’s challenges can be hard but also extremely rewarding. Whether you are experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, or generalized uncertainty in life, I am available to assist during these trying times. I will empower you to unveil and remove barriers that are preventing you from being your “best” self and reaching your fullest potential.

Are you experiencing times of dissatisfaction in your life, unsure what is causing the internal turmoil or often dismissing your feelings? In your best efforts, life's challenges leaves you feeling overwhelmed, experiencing anxiety or stress. Do you want help that is supportive, goal oriented, solution focused, getting back on track and the belief you can reach improved confidence and better self esteem. I will work with you to develop comfortable strategies and coping techniques that assist with overcoming the challenges that interfere with a positive and happier life.

Counseling is an intimate process, and can bring to light aspects of our lives that we have intentionally shielded from public view. Here, in closed corners, many of us struggle with loneliness, broken relationships, paralyzing fears, unmet expectations, and questions about our purpose. This is also where our most profound healing occurs. It’s scary. It’s nerve wrecking. But taking that first step is always worth it.

Being human means experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, transitions in life, grief, pain, even fear, uncertainty, trauma, and doubt at some point. We can go from living our lives to being overwhelmed by our experiences, which can bring shame, anger, frustration, or self-loathing. When faced with these issues, the overwhelming need for a safe, encouraging, supportive space and acquiring access to tools that will help us navigate and better understand our mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical selves becomes essential for getting unstuck and moving forward.
