Life can be tough. It's often lots of little things that add up and contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, or trouble at work. Remember that stress happens because of the way we PERCEIVE situations. Changing how we think is key to changing how we feel. Sometimes stress, worry, or depression can paralyze us. We get so stuck focusing on and thinking about problems, that we make it FEEL more difficult and unmanageable than it really is. You are not alone! The beginning of positive changes in you life is just a phone call away. No need to come to the office, you're busy and I get it. Schedule telehealth now.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Therapy can help client's take that first step. My style is interactive and goal-oriented. I use evidence-based models to help client's explore and reach desired goals, overcome obstacles preventing growth and self-awareness, both necessary aspects to feeling better to improve well-being and quality-of-life. We explore the six dimensions of wellness, examine relationships, with individual or couples therapy and look at behaviors to find an appropriate balance. We examine changing maladaptive negative behaviors, and replacing them with positive life-enriching behaviors.

The first step to beginning therapy is to want to make a change. You won't be successful without that initial desire. It could be the tiniest desire, but if it's there, I can work with that! You may not know what your goals are. You may not know what your needs are. You just know that you want to make a change, and I'll be there to support those efforts!

The purpose of therapy is to take what you have learned and apply it outside. It is not always easy to make changes, and change can be scary, but once you put your words into action, the change can be beautiful. I have worked with people who struggle with substance use issues, depression, anxiety, and families. I have a passion for working with people in the BiPOC community. I want my clients to believe in themselves and what they can accomplish without needing external validation. My goal is for you to feel confident in your decision-making to process your needs/issues without relying on others.

I believe we all have a natural instinct to move toward healing and wholeness - like a plant naturally faces the sun. I believe there is always a gift in pain and suffering. I believe counseling is one of the many beautiful paths to healing. I would be honored to be part of your healing journey. Healing is a miraculous process that happens both bit by bit and all of the sudden. You’ll see!

We seem to be living in very stressful and difficult times, struggling with the COVID pandemic, economic turmoil, rising criminality, and national and global instability. If you are feeling anxious, depressed, worried about the future, dissatisfied with yourself, your relationships, and your work, know that you are not alone. Let me help you view 'each hardship as a pathway to peace' and make the changes you need to make, instead of repeating the past and recreating the same unwelcome reality, over and over.
