We all want to live peaceful, productive and happy lives. We long for the company of family and friends, the comfort of loving relationships and the security of a safe, peaceful and prosperous world. But the wear and tear of life can create emotional, spiritual and psychological challenges. Much of what we experience in life is influenced by the lenses through which we view our world. I believe that people have all they need to address the problems they face. My task is to help them find those resources, skills, and talents that reside within and apply them in ways that will enable the individual to live their best life.

Stress, anxiety and other difficult emotions may be a normal part of life, but they don't have to be in the driver's seat on life's journey. Through my 25+ years of experience as a counselor and my personal experience of having to reclaim the driver's seat from debilitating anxiety/depression, I have learned the truth behind Marcel Proust's claim that "The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes". It is my goal to help people gain new "eyes" through which to view current or past experiences.

Could your child or teen be happier? Are they struggling with self-worth, school achievement, peer relationships, depression, anxiety, or ADHD? Has the amount of time they use technology such as video gaming or social media become problematic? Life can be challenging, and most of us need help at one time or another. My passion is helping children and their families overcome barriers by empowering them with the skills and strategies to be the best they can be. I offer a safe place to process thoughts and feelings and be heard and understood.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, difficulty in relationships, low self-worth? Counseling can help you learn tools and coping skills to increase your ability to take back control of your emotions and feelings. Through working with me, you'll learn about communication skills, mindfulness techniques, ways to reduce anxiety and panic attacks. I work with adults - individuals and couples - to help you find ways to build a more positive and productive life.

Sometimes things in life are difficult to understand and navigate. Are you experiencing overwhelm and stress? I would like to work with you to reach your goals, find healthy coping skills, and live a positive life. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 16 years of experience, and work with teens (13 and older) and adults with general mental health concerns, life stress, grief, depression, anxiety, and trauma. I have extensive experience in vocational counseling and provide support for career changes as well.

Are you looking for a safe place to discuss what matters most to you? Family, work, relationships, health, transitions, grief, loss, children, trauma, life purpose, letting go of past hurts. I love assisting individuals and couples with relationship skills, communication issues, changing self defeating patterns, healing pain (physical and emotional), and learning to be one's best self across settings. I work with children and families in our ever changing world to improve relationships, performance, self awareness, mood, behavior. I bring my many years of experience working with young and old alike to this passionate pursuit of balanced living.
