There are times in life that leave us feeling weighed down, stuck, and unable to see a way forward. You are not alone. We all encounter this at some point. The good news is there is hope. It may not feel like it now, but by reaching out for support during these difficult times you are opening yourself up to an opportunity for change to occur. I believe that as we work together through the therapy process, you will gain a healthier understanding of yourself and your situation, which will equip you to make decisions that will benefit your life.

My goal is to assist clients who are experiencing life changes, whether these are personal, family or employment, or even health related. I have been helping individuals, families, and groups for the last 18 years in a variety of settings. Life can become extremely complicated and at times, it may be necessary to reach out for help and guidance. All of us deserve a rewarding, productive, and positive life but at times struggle to reach this objective. My aim is to help my clients rediscover the power and self confidence that they have within them and enjoy their life to the fullest again.

Have you been feeling worried, depressed, or upset? Are panic or anxiety taking over your life? Are you not feeling understood by your spouse or partner? Are you having trouble prioritizing your own mental health over taking care of others? I have a passion for helping people reclaim the lives they deserve through therapy. We often wonder how to handle all the stress in our lives...the first step is reaching out. I have helped many people understand themselves, their symptoms and find healing.

My aim as a psychotherapist is to provide a supportive and safe environment where open expression and exploration of thoughts and feelings can freely take place. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor trained in motivational interviewing, and multiple behavioral therapies. I have prior experience as a therapist as an addiction counselor, child and family therapist, as well as those in the inpatient psychiatric setting. With better awareness, we can identify life goals, change undesirable behaviors, improve relationship patterns and achieve greater self-acceptance.

Many people have had challenges that often require the assistance of another person. My passion as a mental health therapist is rooted in personal experience.

This setting is the perfect opportunity for a partnership where the client and the counselor can develop new skills, display growth, and make steps toward transformation.

Have you found yourself dealing with difficult life circumstances that are beginning to feel too overwhelming for you to handle alone? We can sometimes find ourselves feeling unbalanced or overwhelmed due to these changes. Maybe you have a number of things going on in your life at one time or a traumatic event causing you to feel increased stress, anxiety, or irritability. Perhaps you've lost a loved one, lost a job, experienced a separation or another similar loss and could use guidance navigating this unfamiliar territory.

Hi there! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 19 years of experience in mental health. I specialize in working with children, adolescents and adults. Allow me to help you and/or your child overcome life's obstacles. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to working with you!

At times life can feel overwhelming, stressful, & emotions can seem difficult to manage. Burdens of life transitions, social challenges, self-esteem, anxiety & depression often impact navigating day-to-day life. I specialize in working with teenagers (high school age & up) and young adults through addressing these challenges. In working together as a team we will explore and address barriers to promote healing, growth, and balance. I am available to see high school age teenagers & older.

The motto for my practice, “Therapy that balances nurture and challenge,” means I accept you unconditionally, even the parts of you that may be associated with shame or rejection and I believe that you're always moving towards growth. The safety created in our relationship allows you space to try on new behaviors or choices or beliefs… in short, the relationship helps you grow. I believe that therapeutic work involves understanding your patterns of behavior to allow for intentional choices about your future. I work with clients of all ages to identify their primary concerns and propose treatment based on those concerns.
