My entire adult life I have worked with children and their families as a professional teacher and now a therapist. I easily relate to all ages - children, adolescents, teens, and adults. I understand how important working with families and schools can be for the mental health of the child. As a teacher for over 20 years, I understand burnout, the inner-workings of schools, and the importance of the personnels' mental health and self care. Plus, over 16 years experience with child-rearing, elderly parental care, end of life choices, adult social services, and grief and bereavement therapies for children and adults.

Imagine living your best life! We all face challenges and difficulties in life. For some it is trauma, others experience chronic health issues, not to mention day-to-day stressors of society's unrealistic demands and expectations. No one goes through life without experiencing the struggle. Our time together is spent exploring what is in the gap between where you are and where you desire and hope to be.

My mission is to support and help people who are hurting, going through something that is overwhelming them, or have experienced a loss or trauma in their life that they need to work through. My ideal client is someone who knows that they want to change their situation for the better but doesn't know where to start. They are ready to change the things in their life that are causing them pain and ready to accept those things that are beyond their power.

Change, hardship, pain, and grappling with the unknown are inevitable parts of life, but learning how to navigate these experiences in the least painful way possible and using them in a way that can contribute to personal growth, meaning, and fulfillment is my goal as your therapist. Everyone’s journey looks different, just as their solution to their problems and hardships does.

I work with individuals, children, and families. I became a therapist to help people navigate through difficult experiences in life and to help make positive choices in order to live a healthier, happier life. I am commitment to helping my clients find solutions to real life issues. My areas of specialty include parenting education, anxiety and depression, oppositional and defiant behaviors, trauma, anger, and family therapy.

The struggle is real- for all of us. I am committed to helping a person grow toward improved insights and coping skills to resolve their problems and related emotions, in a non-judgmental and supportive manner. My goal is for one to learn more about themselves and to function at a higher level in the whole-person dimensions of their life. Whether one is motivated for short-term and situational concerns, or more internally motivated for deeper understanding of self and life-stage fulfillment, the counselor/ client relationship remains paramount as an agent of change.

Most individuals I see are looking for help on finding confidence, increasing happiness, and decreasing the control their challenges have on them. I work with people who feel constantly needed by everyone else but leaving no time to focus on themselves. I really enjoy working with people who are seeking change in their life – related to career, social life, personal development – but don’t know where to start or how to make positive change happen. They want independence and freedom but also a sense of belonging and connection.

I believe that the foundation of the therapeutic relationship begins with the connection between myself and you. Trust and safety must be present in order for you to express your concerns and to achieve your goals. It is important to me that you feel accepted while sharing the unexpected challenges of life. You are not alone, you don't have to stay stuck, and you can be a better version of yourself once those burdens have been lifted.

I am an experienced psychotherapist who enjoys working with clients who are motivated to make positive changes in their life. I use a client centered approach to help clients feel comfortable enough to be able to work through their issues. I also use a strength based approach when working with clients, to help clients find the strength within themselves to make the positive changes they desire. I strongly believe that the relationship between client and counselor is vital to bring about positive change.
