NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! We are faced with many challenges in our daily life. It can be easy to let these challenges overpower you and leave you feeling hopeless. But it is within these challenges that we are able to discover ourselves. I have learned over the years that life is full of rewards; however, the most profound thing I have learned is that rewards do not exist without challenges and failures. The more we are able to reshape the way we view these challenges, the more successful we can be. I would love to help guide you through this process to get YOU back to your awesome YOU!

Caring for yourself and others is a draining task. Not only do you spend your days investing in your loved ones, but you also struggle to make time for yourself. This is particularly the case at one's end of life or battle with sever illness. You find yourself not only exhausted, but struggling to think clearly, go to your job, and doubt your decisions. You feel alone and uncertain. In my 20 plus years as a mental health professional, over and over again I see adults looking for a respite from their current lifestyle.

I have experience treating individuals with depression, anxiety, as well as couples counseling. My experience in the mental health field began in 2003 and I have worked with a variety of individuals dealing with a wide range of issues.

Do you feel unaccepted, ashamed, anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed? Do you feel stuck? Or perhaps you are experiencing a life transition or grief.

Nobody wants to feel like a burden. Often this leads to not wanting to talk to family and friends about our problems or struggles. This is where therapy can be useful. I work with individuals who are seeking help navigating difficult thoughts and feelings. My goal is to make it as easy as possible to open up by creating a non-judgmental space. I am focused on helping those who feel overwhelmed with their thoughts, worries, and stresses. Feeling overwhelmed is part of the human experience but does not have to be a permanent state to live in.

Let's talk, you are not alone! I am here to walk the path of healing with you! I am dedicated to helping individuals heal from substance addiction, sex addiction, compulsive behaviors, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I have created a non-judgmental, confidential and safe environment to provide individuals and families with the support and resources they need to begin their journey to recovery. I offer both in person and video sessions. I provide outpatient counseling services including individual, family and virtual counseling.

Feeling stressed out, lonely, overwhelmed? My approach is inclusive, body- & sex-positive, and affirming of all racial, age, religion, ability, relationship status, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, sex, gender, or military identifications. Counseling is a place to build authentic, trusting relationships where you can freely express yourself without fear of judgement. Sessions should be a place where you feel comfortable delving into the darker, more bothersome parts of life and know that you are able to openly express yourself.

I have experience providing support to both adolescents and adults that are navigating the challenges that can sometime accompany daily life. I believe in building strong therapeutic relationships based on trust, caring, and respect to form partnerships rooted in meeting the individual’s needs. I utilize an integrative, solution based, and plain talk approach to assist clients in finding the best versions of themselves. I was tasked with learning, understanding, and demonstrating the tenets of servant leadership. I hold a National Certified Counselor credential. I recently acquired my APC, Associate Professional Counselor License.

Well seasoned, well educated, and I love what I do. I want to hear you and what you want for your life.

Both tears and laughter will be part of our work together.

Battling addiction and depression is a lonely place. It is hard for our family and friends to understand the internal struggle. Addiction is a safe haven from the chaos in the world around us. But at the same time, it is our addiction that keeps us from living our best lives. As a Certified Master Addiction Counselor, I know what it is like to live in fear of your next drink or gambling game. You want relief from your pain but are unsure where to find it outside of your addiction. I understand and have years of experience working with individuals and their families living with addition and family discord.

I am passionate about helping individuals and families struggling in the trenches of life’s issues. I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families.

Individual clients and couples learn tools to build and rebuild their relationships.

I enjoy working with children who are exhibiting disruptive, defiant, aggressive, and impulsive behavior. I have a passion for including caregivers of these children in treatment so that they feel empowered, confident, and prepared to handle any behaviors their child may throw at them. I also enjoy working with foster families and adoptive families who feel their bond with their child is lacking and want to improve the relationship, while also minimizing disruptive behaviors.

Anxiety and depression are the most common issues bringing clients to therapy, followed by relationship issues. Relationships, in the past or present, are often at the core of how we see ourselves and the world. Healing negative messages from childhood will often help release current depression and anxiety, or at least improve it. I also specialize in couples counseling. It is so difficult to find yourself at odds with the person you once felt so safe and at peace with. Let me help you find that secure place again.
