The process of working with a new client is to gather pertinent information about the client's psychosocial, environment, and past family history to help accurately diagnose the client. Once a diagnosis is made then a treatment plan would be developed conjointly between the client and me utilizing S.M.A.R.T. goals. S.M.A.R.T. goals are​ specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-based goals that would help the client be successful in treatment. If you are looking for a counselor who is genuine, compassionate, authentic, and who will listen and care about your concerns. Then I am here to help you restore your self-worth.

Children and families have been the focal point of my career for over 20 years. I have learned that youth and adults benefit from listening, understanding, and validation. Nowadays, the impact of unresolved mental health issues is a clear and present growing risk factor. Please do not hesitate to speak with someone about difficult matters. Having good mental health can reduce risk factors and should be a prioritized need alongside our physical health. For mental health crises, you can call Mobile Crisis at 877-626-1772; or National Suicide Prevention Hotline 800-273-8255 (dial 988). For life threatening emergencies, please call 911.

My approach as a therapist is to provide you a safe, supportive, and confidential environment. I enjoy working with individuals struggling with relationship issues, anxiety, and stress, as well as couples who are in need of a 'relationship tune-up'. We"ll explore your issues, build on your strengths, and then develop new skills and strategies to help you enjoy your life with less stress and worry. This can mean short-term solution focused therapy sessions for immediate and pressing problems, or longer sessions - depending on what you want to accomplish.

If nothing else, this is my goal for our work together.

I hope together we can decide what is helping you, what could be helping you, and add significantly to your ability to roll with life's up's and down's.

Choosing the right therapist can be a difficult decision, especially when they're working so closely with you or your child. You want someone who listens, understands, and hears your concerns but is also supportive and nurturing. Let me begin by stating that I provide a safe environment where I incorporate empathy, encouragement, and laughter as part of the therapy process. But most importantly, I believe that building a relationship with every person is the key to healing.

I strive to create an environment where you can explore, engage, and rewrite your life-script. We all live from our own unique scripts, the stories we tell ourselves everyday about who we are, where we come from, and what we're capable of. Sometimes these scripts trap us in patterns that harm us and keep us from living a rich life. I will help you engage these scripts, whether they be anxiety, depression, addiction, relational issues, shame, or others. I work with everyone and anyone who desires to engage their story afresh regardless of background, but have unique training to incorporate Christian theology for those interested.

My ideal client deals with anxiety, depression, and low-self-esteem. They may also deal with fear of rejection, abandonment, and neglect. They have a difficult time being assertive, speaking up for themselves, asking for what they need, people pleasing, seeking external validation, fear of disappointing anyone, and perfectionism. They desire to prioritize themselves first, improve on communication, affirm themselves, establish healthy boundaries, and increase their self-esteem and confidence. They are wanting to improve their quality of life, so they are no longer taken advantage of and suffering in silence.

I am passionate about helping men who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma. These issues can feel overwhelming, especially when compounded by societal pressures, personal experiences, and discrimination. Many of the men I work with struggle with feelings of inadequacy, identity conflicts, or the heavy expectations to provide and protect. My goal is to offer a supportive space where you can rebuild confidence, develop healthier coping skills, and face these challenges with resilience. No matter where you are on your journey, I'm here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
