Seeking professional help for your mental health is a huge step towards building a healthy, peaceful life. It can be scary and intimidating, so take time to reward yourself for this decision. I believe that my role as a counselor is to give you the tools for you to use to manage stress and hardship in your life. Oftentimes, we feel powerless and out of control in times of stress. My counseling sessions incorporate Cognitive Behavioral components to help you feel in control over your emotions and thoughts. You are the expert on yourself—you know your goals and your vision for your life. I can work with you to accomplish your goals.

I see many ADHD adults and as well as ADHD children. I have developed a Psychotherapeutic Horseback Riding Program for all ages. This program has benefited those who are shy and withdrawn.

I believe therapy is most helpful when it combines introspection and self-discovery with planning and action. My goal as a therapist is to assist my client in exploring the "stuff" that seems to be getting in the way in his or her life. Once we know what the roadblocks are, they become easier to navigate or overcome. This work often leads to new personal insights or changes that serve to bring you closer to your personal goals.
