I believe every person develops an internal story about themselves that tends to dictate the way they live, how they interpret experiences, and how they respond to life stressors. For various reasons, we can begin to see ourselves as characters in our life stories rather than active agents who are in control of the way our life unfolds. This in turn affects our outlook, thoughts, mood, choices, and relationships.

Attending a counseling session may seem intimidating, or you may be questioning how helpful it is going to be. Many of these thoughts and feelings are normal for people before they start. Our lives sometimes change in ways that are out of our control. Working with a counselor can help you take back control of your life and thrive in the new normal that life has given you.

Maybe I'm biased, but it seems like life is especially hard on my clients. Typically, I work with individuals, couples, and groups of people dealing with anxiety, trauma, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and vocational issues. Everyday I get to help people like you who are trying to live healthier, more satisfying lives in spite of all that life throws at them. Together, we will pursue and rebuild better daily habits, healthier relationships with others, and more satisfying and meaningful days.

Counseling provides the opportunity to step out of the routine of everyday life to focus on the bigger picture and long-term growth. I am both humbled and inspired by the opportunity to walk with people through their most challenging life situations. I believe a healthy counseling relationship is built on unconditional trust and respect. It involves authenticity and an ongoing journey of humility and self-improvement for counselor and client. I utilize a wholistic approach to counseling, believing counseling should address emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs.

I believe in a balanced approach to emotional, mental, and physical change through the counseling process. I see counseling as a collaborative experience between client and therapist in a safe environment where we work as a team to define present problems, develop future goals for an improved life and work in a systematic fashion toward realizing those goals. I approach counseling from a cognitive-behavioral perspective in that patterns of thoughts and actions are explored in order to better understand the client's problems and to develop solutions.
