I believe mental health is just as important as physical health both are equally deserving of authentic care from a professional throughout one’s life. Delaying or denying treatment will only cause more harm to the individual, their children, & families in a negative way; also, it can alter the mental state of mind & have an undesirable emotional impact on one’s physical health. My professional training & knowledge are based on my faith, values, reality thoughtfulness, & mindfulness of our world. I am open to joining my clients to explore change, unique outcomes, & self-agency. I work with clients on short or long-term goals.

Life is not as simple as a storybook; there is no linear storyline, no frivolous love interest, no secret ingredient to success, and definitely not as predictable as we’d like it to be. Luckily, we are not books. We are much more fluid—we can change the narrative whenever, wherever, or however we would like. When it really comes down to it, we are the author of our own stories. It is up to us to move in a way that will make or break our future.

Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, or couple-related issues, it’s important to feel confident that there is hope. This is also true for adult children of divorce and adults whose parents wait until they’re grown to divorce. Adults with divorced parents (nearly 40% of adults) can experience problems trusting people, fear of conflict, fear of being inadequate or inferior, anxiety, anger, overreaction to triggers, father hunger, and a fear of divorcing themselves. These issues often contribute to unsuccessful relationships and marriages. But in a safe, non-judgmental, and informative atmosphere, hope is possible!
