Healing and change takes time... a marathon versus a race.

My number one goal as a therapist is to assist individuals with identifying and implementing healthy ways to cope with difficult situations. Gaining an outside perspective can often open your eyes to new and different solutions to problems you have been struggling with for a long period of time. Everyone needs a safe space to vent, brainstorm and ask for help without judgment.

No matter our age, race, socioeconomic group, educational level, sexuality, spiritual affiliation (or non-affiliation), or cultural backgrounds we all face the inevitable challenges of life, none of us are exempt from this. Most times we are able to navigate victoriously through these experiences, but sometimes our challenges can leave us so overwhelmed that we have difficulty understanding our situations and coping with our circumstances which makes it very difficult to find a way to overcome them. Ultimately we all want to "live our best life" and sometimes we may need to reach for a trusting hand to help us manifest it.

I have been working in the counseling profession for over 16 years. My area of expertise is People With Disability, children , adolescents, adults, families, and groups. In my work, I utilize an eclectic style of counseling; continuing this further, I do exclusively support family system therapy, person centered and solution focus therapy. I believe that family interactions and communication patterns are important to understanding current issues. I look at evidence-based approaches as tools to help you reach your goals with the intentions of long-term growth and change.

I chose to become a therapist after working as a classroom educator for 21 years, because I saw that the needs of my students were not being met through the educational system or through their family system. Today, we all face a variety of emotional issues that are difficult for to express, name, and discuss. Many people feel as if no one is listening or will listen to them, especially adults on the Autism Spectrum who already struggle with communication. I want to help empower all people on the Autism Spectrum and their support systems.

What brings people to counseling? A sense that something's not right. The desire to stop feeling sad, depressed, worried or angry. And the desire to explore issues with an objective listener who has no other agenda than to help do what's right for you. I believe my clients are capable, competent individuals who come to me because life's circumstances have challenged their current ways of coping. My goal is to assist my clients in feeling better as quickly and efficiently as possible, and to help them develop enhanced life skills and gain a better understanding of themselves.
