You’ve been carrying a lot for a long time — maybe more than you’ve ever said out loud. Whether you’re an adult overwhelmed by stress or trauma, a teen struggling to cope, a child who’s acting out in ways no one can quite understand, or a couple trying to reconnect, you’re looking for a place that feels safe, calm, and supportive. A place where you don’t have to explain away your pain or pretend to be okay.
At Finding Courage Counseling, I help individuals, children, teens, and couples work through trauma, emotional wounds, anxiety, and relationship struggles with compassion and clarity. Together we can walk through this journey

Are you someone who had always thought therapy wasn't for you? Did it seem too fluffy and uncomfortable? And yet, you find yourself here because you are at a stuck point in life and need to make a change. Sometimes we find ourselves moving through patterns that just aren't working for us anymore, or knowing exactly what we need to do but feeling lost about how to put it into practice. If this sounds like you, I'd like to help.

I am responsible for helping individuals, families, and groups of people to cope with problems they’re facing to improve their patients’ lives. Trauma affects the individual, families, and communities by disrupting healthy development, adversely affecting relationships, and contributing to mental health issues, including substance abuse, domestic violence, and child abuse. In schools, I address problems such as truancy, disruptive behavior, teenage pregnancy, drug use, and poor grades. I also advise teachers and act as liaisons between students, homes, schools, courts, protective services, and other institutions.

I work best with someone who wants things to change — even if they’re not sure how. They might feel stuck in anxiety, frustration, relationship conflict, or a lack of direction, but they’re willing to look at what isn’t working and try something different.

We intend to raise awareness about mental health issues. Why is it important (glad you asked)? Because it affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. Let’s reduce the stigma related to mental illness. The more we talk about mental health conditions, the more normalized it becomes. Starting the conversation is the first step. Let’s talk!
