I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a background in helping individuals and families struggling with addiction, grieving families of seniors with dementia, and couples at all stages of the relationship.
All of our life experiences shape us into the people we become, however, at one point or another in most of our lives, we question the direction that we are going and if our lives are as joyful and enriched as possible. Through self-exploration and addressing unresolved problems, individuals can take control of their futures. Let’s talk about that process!

I enjoy helping people to live in wellness and wholeness. I think the therapy relationship is critical to being able to work as a team to accomplish that. I always hope to collaborate with my clients to set therapy goals and design a plan to achieve them. My focus is on providing a therapy setting in which people can learn new skills to cope with difficulties, recover from trauma, adjust to life's challenges, and improve their functioning. I approach therapy from a cognitive-behavioral perspective but use other approaches as needed to assist clients to reach their goals.

If you're looking for a non-conventional, non-judgmental, and very laid-back therapist to guide you through this process, look no further. As an existential-centered therapist, I believe that the choices we make lead us down the paths we take; good and bad. Once we realize that we have control when it comes to the choices we make, positive changes can be made. That being said, we often need to accept things for what they are, consider the options we have, come up with a plan, and move forward. Remember, you're only "stuck" if you choose to be "stuck." Change is 100% possible, but you have to choose it and want it.

Hello! I provide a non-judgmental space where you have the freedom to discuss your thoughts, emotions, and other important aspects of life that cause suffering and leave you feeling disconnected and distant. My experience is that therapy, while sometimes uncomfortable, is an enjoyable experience where we focus on growth and not spend all our time spinning in circles while experiencing more pain and suffering. I believe that truly effective and holistic counseling should not only focus on reducing symptoms, but it should also help you experience more joy while living with a sense of lightness and freedom.

Accepting New Clients. I believe that we all have an inner potential to overcome life's obstacles. There are times however when the struggles of our lives hinder our abilities to access our strengths and we feel lost. In working with clients, it is my goal to provide a judgement-free and nurturing environment where it is safe to undertake change and find the way back.

It's not whats wrong with you, it's whats happened to you. I believe that our past plays a significant role in our present. Genetics, environments we grew up in, and life experiences all have ways of creating patterns of thoughts and behaviors. When people have a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore their thoughts and feelings, they can begin to process the experiences, gain understanding of themselves, and start healing. I pull from CBT, DBT, client centered therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness practices, and psychoeducation to help clients gain awareness, understanding, and tools to move forward from the past.
