*TELEHEALTH ONLY. MESSAGE FOR A CONSULTATION*. You're finally at a place where you're ready to prioritize your needs. Things happened that robbed you of your joy and you're struggling to see the light. You feel stuck and wonder where to turn. You turn here. I see you. I hear you. I can hold space for you.

It is my goal to see the light reignite in a person's eye after they have given up hope for change. I have over 25 years of experience working collaboratively with my clients to find what works for them. I do not have preconceived notions of how to "fix" anyone. We work together to chip away at the issues and create a working plan that helps clients leave feeling better than before after each session. I work within the confines of the client's situation and help with creating realistic and viable solutions. The client plays an active role in my counseling practice.

"Empowered To Make A Change" I provide counseling services for individuals, children & adolescents, adults, couples, families, military personnel and groups. The need for therapy can arise from a number of personal challenges such as family conflicts, work or school problems, sudden losses, life transitions, daily stressors and mood instability. Being a licensed therapist allows me the opportunity to share the gift of psychotherapy with many struggling with mental illness and daily life trails. I foster individuals growth through implementing healthier coping skills, changing thought process, empowering change in behaviors and instilling hope. Making an amazing impact on families and communities is my ultimate goal.

I have enjoyed working for various mental health agencies and have extensive experience in several areas of counseling. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I have worked with individuals, couples, families and groups. I am a mother of seven, including a son on the autism spectrum. My personal life experiences, in addition to my education and work history, help me to empower individuals to overcome difficult emotional obstacles. I have been providing telemental health for over 4 years now and I look forward to having a virtual session with you.

Children often do not have the words and vocabulary to fully express everything that has happened or how it has impacted them. When given a safe and nurturing environment in which a child can feel comfortable expressing feelings and working through life's obstacles, so much can be positively accomplished regardless of what a child may be going through. I am passionate about meeting each child where he or she is at emotionally by providing a warm, caring, and non-judgmental atmosphere in order to allow the therapeutic agents of change to naturally take place through play.

Find your resonance. You may be struggling with depression, stress, relationships, or going through a difficult time.

I accept each person as the individual that they are, and I work with you to find out which methods will best benefit your needs. My goal is to help you develop the skills to get through life's difficulties and lead a happier life! I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, some Dialectical Behavior Therapy as well as drawing from other therapies as needed.

Making the initial decision to seek professional help for you or your loved one can be intimidating. I’m the therapist for people that “don’t like therapy”. Many of the people I see are new to therapy, "didn't believe in it" or have had negative experiences with therapy in the past. They come in with doubts, questions and fears. I believe that everyone that walks through my door deserves respect. My ultimate goal is to create a safe place to explore the messiness of life in a comfortable, laid-back and non-judgmental space. Life can be difficult, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. You are welcome here.

Are you having trouble with controlling your anger? What about family conflict, grief and loss, or even anxiety and/or depression? Does your child have difficulty concentrating, putting their thoughts in order, or behavioral issues? Does your child need someone to talk to about future plans and goals? Do you need parenting classes?

I believe counseling is a process of exploration, discovery, and personal growth. My job is to help clients learn more about themselves in a safe, caring, non-judgemental, and challenging environment. My goal is to empower clients to recognize and change their thoughts or behaviors leading to decrease anxiety/stress, decreased depression and increased self-esteem. I work with each client based on their specifc needs and concerns and help them create a path toward healing, empowerment, and change.

“My bond with my clients promotes positive regard, empathy, acceptance, and non-judgmental regard without criticism. My positive approach to therapy helps my clients reach their goals and puts in perspective their task in life that needs to be fulfilled. Putting the importance on my client’s positive behaviors and character gives them the capability to use their personal characteristics in finding healing, growth and love within themselves”.
