I am currently accepting new clients at this time. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Nationally Certified Counselor.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed or anxious? Through stress management, identity exploration, mindfulness, and active listening, I hope that I can help you to understand yourself better, love yourself more and manage your feelings and behaviors better. I use a combination of counseling, art therapy, play therapy, and pet therapy(depending on interest and age) to help you to be comfortable with the person that you are instead of the person you think you should be.

My goal is to help you get un-stuck. I work with people in their 20s-40s dealing with things like anxiety, trauma, chronic illness, life transitions, and grief. The stress response helps keep us alive, but when we get stuck there we start to feel disconnected from ourselves and the world around us. Not only do I want to help you explore thoughts, gain insight, and empower you to feel confident in your decisions, I want to help your body finally feel safe and grounded. I want to help you find the coping skills to get out of a state of hyperarousal and back into a place of safety and connection.

If you are having difficulty with issues in your life and like a relaxed and down to earth type of therapist, I can help . I work with clients ages 6 years throughout adulthood, experiencing complications due to ADHD, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, substance abuse, self esteem, life transitions, trauma due to abuse/violence, confidence, relationships and communication problems along with behavior disorders,. I assist clients in finding their strengths, along with creative techniques to teach them how to use it to build their life worth living. I have a special interest in working with female clients of all ages.
