Sometimes life can be overwhelming and frustrating with the uncertainty of what to do next. Having the courage to come to counseling is the first step to get some of those questions answered. In the beginning, building a good rapport with clients is my focus to help them feel comfortable in the process. I can help clients work through the difficult things that are uncomfortable to think about or even to talk about. Clients do feel rewarded once they do, and they can make the changes they want in their lives. A diagnosis does not have to define as a person, but it can help them live their best life.

Life can bring upon stressors and trauma that seem impossible to overcome. It may make you feel overwhelmed, defeated, anxious and scared.

My journey has been deeply informed by working daily with children. First as a 3rd grade teacher, and then more recently as a school counselor. Being a part of the public education system for eight years, I learned countless lessons about children and family systems. Most importantly, I have learned that children are able to learn well if their needs are met both physiological needs as well as their feelings of safety, love/belonging, and connection.

I believe working with people who have issues with substance abuse and mental health, e.g. anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship issues, or plainly, trouble coping with life’s challenges is my calling. I have a long history of helping people identify their issues and supporting them as they work toward overcoming them. I appreciate working with people who are relearning ways of dealing with life’s challenges. To know better is to do better. People want to feel in control of their lives. Sometimes they need to learn how. “If you know the why you can manage any how.”

I have been fortunate enough to come alongside children, adolescents, and adults, and help them through a variety of difficulties ranging from depression and anxiety to experiences with trauma, and more. My specialty ages range from elementary children to those in young adulthood.

A light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it. Many experience a crisis of faith in troubling times. Perhaps you're facing grief, trauma, life changes, illness, or other difficulties. Maybe you're having trouble figuring out why these things are happening to you and it just doesn't seem fair. The truth is, we can't prepare for everything and sometimes we need a little help. In our first session I really want to understand your needs and how I can be most helpful. My goal is make sure you feel heard and know that there is in fact a light in the darkness and I'm here to help you find it.

In a small community, seeking help can be hard, embarrassing, and even shameful whether it's for you, your spouse, or your children. Do not let the stigma of asking for help hinder you from getting back to the person you want to be. This professional, comfortable, laid-back and private environment focuses on quality connection to support moving you from where you are, to the place you want to be. Life transitions, divorce, trauma, betrayal, personal challenges, loss, or sometimes a strong feeling or worry or sadness that just does not go away can all be reasons that counseling can be helpful.

I am available for counseling sessions at Rising Hope in Aberdeen, or online through our Telehealth platform. As a Clinical Social Worker/Therapist, MSW, CSW, QMHP, and on track to be EMDR certified, I'm here to offer a safe space for your journey towards healing and self-discovery. I am here to offer you guidance, support, or simply a listening ear. I strive to find and apply the best mental health treatments suitable for each individual. I want to help YOU help yourself through this process.

In my professional practice, I support individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, anger and relationship issues. I support individuals from adolescence through adulthood and find that most of my clients desire relief of mental health symptoms that have taken control of their lives.

Life hands you all sorts of experiences that shape the lens through which you see the world. Our bodies and brains naturally adapt to these experiences, but can sometimes result in mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma, and adjustment disorders. Support can help you learn to set boundaries, and work through a loss or life transition - it could be changing a pattern of behavior that is keeping you stuck. Our goal is to help you feel better so you can live better.

If you are a survivor, you need to know that your symptoms do not have to define you. You do not have to live in the past and both your brain and body can heal. I specialize in the treatment of complex traumatic responses. Together, we can work toward helping you regain a sense of peace, live in and enjoy the present and create a more hopeful future.
