Having a good therapist can be an essential aid in negotiating life’s challenges. A compassionate therapist who listens without judgment is a valuable resource in not only getting you through trying times but also aiding you in developing strength and resiliency for future challenges. My goal as a therapist is to help you reach your goals. Whether it is a more peaceful life, a life with healthier relationships, or life with less stress and anxiety I will help you with achieving it. A good therapist helps you get stronger and provides you with skills to tackle life’s challenges. I work with adults, adolescents, and children.

Are you ready for change? Austrian psychiatrist and psychotherapist, Viktor Frankl stated “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves”. I have built most of my work around studying trauma and the effects it has on a human. Trauma defined is an event or circumstance that is beyond a person's ability to cope properly. Many symptoms like anxiety, depression, dissociation, fatigue, and guilt follow trauma. Trauma is scary and I do not believe we were meant to do life alone. I offer to serve as someone who can collaboratively walk through the trauma with you.

Life can get complicated and seem overwhelming at times. Counseling can become a helpful way to learn to manage better. As a licensed counselor, it my mission to work with you to better understand your struggles, learn new coping skills, and walk beside you to achieve balance and peace in your life.

My priority is to offer a therapeutic relationship where you feel comfortable and accepted in a safe and non-judgmental environment. I see my clients as a whole person, not as your presenting problem. It is imperative to me that you feel heard and understood. I love being a therapist and my goal is to instill hope and peace back into your life.

We all have to deal with a concept called LIFE! It is impossible to escape, but you have the ability to maneuver through it in a positive, safe, and healthy manner.

I take a relatable approach in therapy creating an environment that invites clients to safely share. I have been practicing counseling for 8 years.

I have extensive experience working with multiple populations (i.e. children, adolescents, and adults).

Throughout my career there has always been one common theme; Crisis. Crisis causes change. Whether we bring it on ourselves or it is thrust upon us, crisis creates the crucible from within which change is born. Without crisis, motivation is weak and success more of an ideal than a goal. You may be in crisis right now. You may be struggling with a relationship, or as a parent, or with your own choices and behavior. You are in the best place for change. I can help!

Are you tired of constantly working on yourself? Have you been told the best you can do is learn to "cope better" with your illness or your "issues"? Does the idea of delving into the details of your problems in a therapy session turn your stomach? What if it was ALL just an innocent misunderstanding? My passion in life is to serve others by clearing up this simple misunderstanding and pointing people towards their innate source of wisdom, clarity, and common sense.

Are you experiencing depression or anxiety? Are you wanting to feel like the best version of yourself? Do you just need someone to talk to? As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am here to help you process life's difficulties and experience your best self. I strive to provide a comfortable, trusting, and nonjudgmental environment where we can discuss your specific needs and goals and work together to improve your quality of life. I offer evening telehealth appointments so you will not have to miss work and can meet with me from the comfort and safety of your own home.

Have you ever wondered where that anger comes from, or why you can't seem to shake that feeling of guilt or self-deception that keeps getting the best of you? My approach centers around understanding where we get our anxiety and how we can work to create a better sense of calm in our lives. Every person struggles throughout their life to hold onto the positive relationships and the warmth and belonging of their families, but sometimes life throws us so many curves that we swing and swing until we're hot with rage or blue with sadness.
