Thank you for your interest in my profile and congratulations on your decision to seek help. It is my belief that only the courageous seek counseling. Therapy is a process that provides the guidance and tools necessary to make changes; changes which can have a significant and lasting impact on one's life. As a therapist, my approach is to create an environment that is filled with acceptance, empathy, and support in order to help one discover one's strengths, to solve problems, and transform one's life. Just as every fingerprint is unique, so is one's life journey.

Does the state of our current culture leave you drained, unfocused, anxious, jealous, depressed as well as leave you overwhelmed by the barrage of news feeds, tweets, blogs, breaking news, texts, and endless e-mails? As a therapist, I enjoy working with those who want to learn to be more intentional with their time, relationships, behaviors, spirituality and/or professional direction. I work with individuals, couples, families and groups.

Are you feeling depressed? Are you feeling stressed? Are you having relationship problems? Do you feel like your life is out of control? Are you ready for a change? If so, then... Welcome! Thank you for considering me to be a part of your journey as you take the first step towards healing.

Do you nurture fear or hope? Investing in therapy is a positive step towards facing your fears and uncovering new possibilities. Identify insights, wisdom and truth whether you are struggling with issues related to depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, grief or major life transitions. We'll clarify your values and develop custom skills and tools to support change. Integrating experiential interventions with systems theory and mindfulness strategies helps you understand new ways for dealing with challenges.

"When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own the story, we can write a brave new ending." -Brene Brown. Believing these words, I do my best to create a safe, non-judgmental, compassionate space for adult individuals, couples and families to own and process their stories, while finding meaning, healing and growth. We are dynamic people, capable of change and restoration, and it is an honor to facilitate and walk with a person through this process. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, addiction, chronic illness, marital concerns, trauma, anger management, international adjustments and transitions, and infertility.

I am an LCSW specializing in individual, couple's and family therapy. My approach is eclectic, incorporating a variety of techniques to meet the needs of each client.

I believe in giving clients the tools and support they need to move ahead on their own, knowing support is available when they need it from me. I have new patient appointment availability to see older adolescents and adults of all ages. I welcome all individuals regardless of sex, religion, sexual preference, or race.

Trauma may be the last thing you want to talk about. You want to be thriving at this point in your life, but certain issues keep coming up and holding you back... holding your relationship back... holding your family back. Something's gotta give. You long to show up authentically at work, at home and in your relationships, but you struggle sometimes with feelings of inadequacy or low self-esteem.

Do you feel stressed, stuck, overwhelmed or exhausted? Maybe you're struggling with relationships; personal or professional, and you're battling feelings of sadness and anxiety. Could you use some support with parenting challenges or marital conflicts? What about unhealed trauma? Are you still experiencing the impact of that trauma but don't know where to start the healing process? Have you struggled to find a culturally competent therapist whose approach to your challenges is eclectic, holistic, and judgment free? You deserve to be heard. You deserve to be helped. You deserve to be healed. I'd like to help.

Empathy, sympathy, active listening, and genuine concern are vital to helping individuals overcome the challenges they face. When a person feels unfulfilled, frustrated or blocked by their current situation, seeking help is where change begins. Our Holistic/Person-Centered approach to healing from the inside out is designed to assess the root of an issue, and then help support individuals, families and couples on the path to thinking differently and therefore creating different, more positive outcomes. Privacy and confidentiality is the cornerstone of OneLove Counseling Services.

If your life and relationships aren't going the way you'd like, if your marriage feels painful, if you're at your wit's end with your children's behavior, if you want to do things differently but feel stuck- I'd like to help. Anxiety, depression, self-esteem, intimacy, personal boundaries, parenting issues, divorce and its impact on the children- all of these can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate well. I work with children and families (ages 5+), parents, adult men, and couples.

Are you seeking purpose and wholeness? Feeling detached and lost? Do you want to work on your relationship with yourself? Your relationships with others? Are you preparing yourself mentally and emotionally for the relationship you want? Are you redefining who you want to be? During our time together, the focus will be to meet you where you are and create room for you to feel accepted, respected and heard. With your commitment and effort, we can openly explore your sources of joy, fear, pain, and happiness to create realistic goals that honor who you are and who you want to become.

Life can sometimes feel like one big puzzle that we are constantly trying to piece together. We often lose our sense of self as we attempt to create this beautiful picture. But what is behind that social media post? Are you taking care of your wellbeing while managing the expectations and demands of your world around you? My goal in working with you is to restore balance back to your life and help you feel more grounded! Whether you are struggling with topics like perinatal depression or anxiety, infertility, maternal burnout, systemic generational trauma, culturally specific topics, or marital issues, I am here for you.
