I am passionate about uniting with clients through painful and difficult seasons of their life. Many of us live each day with a lack of contentment, a nagging sense that we are not enough, but this does not have to become the norm. Challenges may arise that are difficult to overcome. Counseling is a way to develop better ways to cope with life in the present, heal wounds from the past, let go of worries for the future and help you overcome these barriers that stand in your way. I help clients gain insight by providing a supportive and caring environment, while also challenging my clients as my counsel is to always move forward.

ATTN: At this time, I'm not taking new clients. My personal philosophy in life is that you can do anything you set your mind to when you have the support and faith to spur you forward. Without support or a belief system, I believe it’s harder if not impossible to be a better/matured version of yourself. If you have felt stuck or felt unmotivated by life's present challenges or past hurts and pains or just overwhelmed by it all, You have a place to find that comfort, guidance, and solutions, where it was believed there, were not.

I work closely with individuals, couples, and families who are looking to improve the quality of their personal lives and relationships. Often, feelings of anxiety, sadness, or hopelessness can either result from or lead to difficulties in the quality of our interpersonal relationships. My therapeutic approach is a strength-based and solution-focused model of support that is geared toward identifying strategies to help people better manage their own personal emotions, while simultaneously strengthening their bonds with partners and other loved ones.

Are these questions you have asked yourself lately: "Why am I feeling this stressed?", "Why is it hard for me to manage life now?", "How do I handle this life issue?"

The Landing Meadows Mental Health Counseling (MHC) is an integrative group practice using strength based and person centered approaches to therapy to help people identify and work towards achieving their life goals.

Anxiety and stress are normal reactions to life's challenges. Anxiety can help us focus on solving problems or achieving success. But when anxiety begins to spiral and take over, it can be paralyzing, negatively affecting our relationships, school/career performance and mental and physical health. If you are experiencing chronic worry, panic, obsessive fears, social anxiety, stress at work/school, or marital difficulties, I can help by teaching you proven strategies to conquer your symptoms by changing negative thoughts and unhelpful behaviors. You will learn more effective coping techniques, gain back control and focus more on living a productive, happier life.

You have the capacity to change the way you live your life. You can learn to live in a more liberated way. You can learn to navigate difficult emotions such as anxiety or depression. You can learn to build more meaningful relationships or communicate more effectively. You can experience more acceptance and gratitude. I believe we can change and grow every day if we are open to it. My hope is that I can help you learn to live in a new way, if that is your goal. Maybe your goal is to reduce depression, stress or anxiety. Maybe your goal is to create more meaningful relationships, be more confident or be happy. Your goal is my goal.

I believe that we are primarily social beings and that our relationships, past and present, continuously impact on our growth as individuals. I work interpersonally, and I take an active, vocal role in therapy. Psychotherapy can be an extremely effective tool in addressing specific difficulties that may deplete your energy and lead to sadness, anxiety, loneliness, and a general feeling of discontent. It is also beneficial as an aid to personal growth and self-improvement.
