Life can change in an instant. Unexpected life events and unforeseen circumstances can shake the very foundation of our lives and shatter our illusions of control. A multitude of unanticipated events can negatively impact our lives, destroy our sense of safety, impair our mental health, and complicate our interpersonal relationships. Many times families and friends struggle to provide the support and direction we need during the turbulent seasons of life. It takes strength and courage to reach out for help but the benefits of taking that risk can lead to new insight, personal growth, and a renewed sense of purpose.

While I enjoy working with clients from various walks of life, my most recent focus has been anger management, teens, young adults, minorities, incarcerated youth, reentry, and trauma.
I grew up on the north side of Jacksonville and regularly witnessed the impact of untreated mental wellness in my community. I knew that I needed to understand how I could be part of the solution. In doing so I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling. I would be happy to join with you on your journey. "Lets Make it Good!"

Porn addiction? Sex addiction? Has an affair or sexual behavior put your relationship at risk? Many clients contact me after promising themselves or their partner they would stop, yet finding the behavior keeps returning. If secrecy, porn use, or sexual behavior has created shame, conflict, or a crisis in your relationship, you’re not alone. I help clients understand the deeper patterns driving these behaviors and develop practical strategies for lasting change. Recovery from sex addiction is possible with the right structure, accountability, and support. Contact me to schedule an appointment.
