It is my belief that people need truth to be emotionally and spiritually healthy. But I believe that the truth needs to be compassionately delivered with a heart full of grace. My sincere hope is that encouragement is evident in my counsel, whether I am visiting with a troubled married couple or an 8 year-old child who has been the victim of abuse. The identified desire of the client is the target of the counseling sessions and my goal to help each individual, couple or family experience freedom.

I have found that everyone struggles in one way or another at some time in their lives. It is how we grow and adapt to those struggles that define who we are and how we live the rest of our lives. I have partnered with clients in order to assist them with turning these struggles into times of learning, growing and healing.

The path to a quality world can be intimidating for people. I understand how it can feel like it is one that you are on alone. My work with diverse groups: adolescents, people that identify as BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples, and people with disabilities (PWDs) informs me of some of these challenges. My experience supporting clients in their path to wellness through anxiety, depression, trauma, disability acceptance, adoption/reunification, incarceration, personality disorders and relationship/intimacy challenges makes me confident in the progress we can achieve in counseling together.

What is needed to overcome a challenge, or simply find a more joyful way of living, is often someone who can help us look at things from another angle. Whether working to transform your relationship or on a personal growth path, a different perspective can be life-changing. When faced with challenges, it can be hard to know where to turn. This is a new chapter for me - as an educator/artist, I'm now earning a graduate degree in counseling. I understand what it is to navigate change - it can be exciting and scary! I am passionate about supporting others through choice points and transitions to help them create their favorite lives.

I often help couples who are struggling with heavy relationship issues that break their emotional bond. I have helped couples overcome issues with infidelity and communication, and begin the work to reconnect and build a stronger version of themselves and their relationship. I see couples (and all clients!) as composers of their own music, and I am just the conductor helping them play it.

My goal with anyone interested in counseling is to "meet you where you are at ". Feeling comfortable with your counseling experience is very important to me. With therapy, it is essential to provide non-judgmental feedback with an understanding that everyone is unique regarding their therapeutic needs. I am here to offer you a multidisciplinary approach regarding your concerns, rather than a "one size fits all approach". We investigate together the concerns that brought you into counseling with the idea of working together to sort out the important details. Bringing yourself to the origin of your concerns is the goal.

For the last 7 years, I have worked with adults that have struggled with anxiety, depression, mental health, and relationship problems. I am a strong advocate for populations that are often underserved, including LGBTQ+ individuals. I really enjoy helping others find purpose and meaning in the effort to help improve overall wellness. This can include increasing self-esteem, empowering and motivating clients to take control of their lives.

I believe in the wisdom within each of us and work to instill in each person a deep sense of self-respect and compassion. My work includes cognitive, psycho-spiritual, and expressive approaches. I use emotional release techniques for deep change in thinking and feeling patterns that interfere with current well-being and functioning. For addiction issues, I provide ear acupuncture and help people assess the extent of the problem and stop the harm. We then work through the recovery stages. For PTSD from childhood trauma or from military service I use several approaches, including Prolonged Exposure Therapy.

Do you find yourself feeling overstimulated, overwhelmed, frustrated, and exhausted? Do you spend exorbitant amounts of energy just to keep up with all the demands of your daily life? Do you wonder if you are “too much” or “not enough” in your relationships? Neurodivergence such as autism or ADHD can make it feel like you're constantly fighting just to stay afloat.

“You cannot heal what you refuse to confront.” Is this a phrase that resonates with you? If so, then you are in the right place. Sometimes in life we get to a point where we realize that we are not living our truest life or our most actualized self. This can be anything from dealing with our daily turmoil and tribulations to confronting deep insecurities, distressing anxiety and depression, or past trauma. One of the key steps to overcoming these concerns is to turn inward and examine the self. In our counseling relationship, I promise to provide you with my most authentic self so that you can discover yours.
