I want my clients to feel connected. To know I can understand and see them. Sitting in my office with me, or meeting online, should be a place where a client feels they can be honest and open without judgement or repercussion. Nobody is perfect and we all have some type of past. We have all made bad choices or have had bad things happen. Some of had horrible and unthinkable things occur to them while others may not have experienced such things. Regardless, this is place to unpack whatever you have been carrying around. Find freedom from the baggage, trauma, stress, anxiety and whatever else may exist. You're worth it to try.

Do you feel that your life is spinning out of control, not sure if you are coming or going, and feel no one understands? Low self-esteem, worry about the future, and wounds from the past can hold us back from the freedom we crave. Moving into that freedom requires both trust and a commitment to change. I offer empathetic listening, non-judgemental attitude, and a relaxing environment. Faith, Hope & Healing Professional Counseling Services, LLC offers a safe place to share your emotional and mental concerns so you nor your family will feel alone.

**Same day and next day appointments may be available. Virtual and in office sessions.** As a licensed professional counselor in private practice my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life worth celebrating. While we can't change the difficult situations from your past, we can work together to better understand them and resolve the current challenges in your life. If depression, anxiety, conflict, fear or low self-esteem are holding you back, or if you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation, or you're just ready to move in a new direction, I look forward to working with you.

I'm here to assist in making life better. Relationship issues, depressed mood, anxiety, behavioral issues, dealing with grief and loss and debilitating or terminal diagnoses are all issues we can work on together. Having personally experienced cancer, I also work well with those struggling with the diagnoses, disease, and disease process.

Life teaches a new lesson every day and it is not always something pleasant, expected, or easily managed. As a counselor it is my mission to help you manage and cope with the stressors in your life. Trust, connection, and the feeling of safety are all needed for successful therapy.

I want to help you live your best life. Whether through coaching or counseling, I strive to create a stable connection and safe space that lights sparks and promote your personal resilience.

Do you have anxiety, anger, depression or relationship problems? Maybe you feel stressed and overwhelmed. Perhaps you feel lonely and disconnected. Or you have low self-esteem and are extremely critical of yourself. Counseling can help you work on these issues. You can ease your burden by talking with a trained professional. You can develop healthy coping skills. Learn relaxation techniques. And develop better ways to communicate how you're feeling to the people around you. Coping skills, self-care and stress management are necessary tools that can help you become more resilient and able to face anything life throws at you.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience helping individuals with a variety of difficulties. I have a positive wellness approach and focus on individual strengths. I believe in the innate worth of every human being. We are all striving to be the very best that we can with the resources we have. We may not all be responsible for our problems or current situation, but we have to be the ones to solve them anyway. I view counseling from a holistic and strength based perspective and believe total wellness is the balance of mind, body and spirit.

Are you anxious...tired...exhausted? Are you so busy that you've forgotten who you are and what makes you happy? What are you putting off until tomorrow that you'd like to start today? New diet? New career? New adventure? New relationship? If you find yourself living on autopilot and forgetting what "happiness and joy" might feel like, let's connect and work together toward a more authentic and enriched life. Life is not a dress rehearsal. You can begin again!

You wake up exhausted, dreading the day ahead before you’ve even opened your eyes. You can’t tell if you’re hungry or sad or anxious or mad–maybe you’re all of those at once. You hide your truest self in exchange for acceptance and love. You struggle to say “no,” even when you know you need to, because the cost of disappointing others is greater than the cost of disappointing yourself. The world feels overwhelming–too fast, too bright, too unpredictable. Your brain tells you that if only you were stronger, tried harder, were less sensitive–the list goes on and on. If only–then maybe, if you were different, life would be easier.

I believe that true mastery of ourselves is within each and every one of us. Each person is unique and this means they have something to offer the world. Sometimes it is a matter of getting out of your own way to see just how unique you really are. I have many years of experience working with people with a wide range of challenges. We will collaboratively work to utilize your strengths and enhance your coping skills. I work with each individual in addressing their primary challenges by constructing an individual goal plan that is in accordance with conquering your biggest challenges and becoming the best version of yourself.

I am oriented towards psychodynamic therapy. I have been in private practice in the mon valley for 14 years.

As we journey through life we all experience challenges. As a counselor, i aim to provide a safe, non judgmental, supportive setting to allow people to work through life's difficulties. Whether you face emotional challenges, physical challenges or both, through the use of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness, you will gain the tools necessary to improve your life and grow as an individual no matter what life throws at you.
