Are you feeling overwhelmed or hurting due to depression, anxiety or low self-esteem? If so, you could definitely benefit from counseling. Therapy is great for having someone to confide in and laugh with while identifying problems and developing solutions to get back to a happy place.

My primary role as your counselor is to focus on the relationship with you.. Your wellbeing is the main focus of the therapeutic relationship. While providing you a safe and confidential environment, I will be with you every step of the way on your journey toward healing and self discovery. My approach in the counseling relationship is not as an expert. Instead, my approach is as a supportive guide to help you reach your goals. I have a wealth of professional and personal experience working with a diverse population. This includes individuals, couples, families and children of all ages.

If you are distressed, you may not find it very helpful or even possible to discuss it with family and friends. However, talking to an objective person (that's me!) can often help you resolve issues. In addition, I perform psychological evaluations for people age 7 through adulthood and specialize in pain evaluations. It's hard to crawl out of the black pit of depression. My life experiences and training give me an excellent perspective to help depressed people climb out of that pit. I also understand how pain can change and restrict your life and can provide coping strategies.

Imagine going on an unfamiliar journey through treacherous terrain without proper guidance and tools. Sometimes in our journey through life, we encounter the treacherous terrain of overwhelming stress, anxiety, and depression.

I will help you and your family sharpen their coping tools so that you can reclaim ownership of your life and embrace the joy and productivity each day offers.

I believe counseling is a process of exploration, discovery, and personal growth.

I work with each client based on their specifc needs and concerns and help them create a path toward healing, empowerment, and change.

I think it's important to approach therapy with an open mind. I don't have expectations of clients other than they need and are seeking help. I have a wide variety of skills and don't know what I can help you with until we discuss the issue. At the first session we decide together if our relationship will be effective in helping you solve your problem.

Every individual needs to be heard. As individuals, sometimes we feel as if no one hears our voice. We may feel like our voice has been drown out by the busyness of everyday life, other people, or even ourselves. Therapy is a way of investing into yourself and your voice. You will learn to cope better with life’s challenges and gain a stronger sense of who you are.
