We receive constant messages that if you are not feeling happy something is wrong. But is this fair? Over 50% of us will suffer with a mental health condition in our lifetime! This suggests suffering is not pathological, but rather a universal experience. The fact you are human guarantees you will experience pain. Sadly, sometimes our well-intended efforts to avoid pain can unintentionally lead to more suffering. Across time we can lose touch with what matters to us most and our quality of life goes down. We can become stuck in an unnecessary battle with ourselves, and all the while life continues to go by.

Do you or your child experience confusing emotions or behaviors? Do you struggle to express yourself or understand others? Have you been through trauma or stressors that altered the way you see life all together? Sometimes we know what's wrong but haven’t found lasting change. The weight of these challenges affects our relationships, functioning, physical health, and overall sense of wellbeing. I understand it can feel impossible to take action when life feels so heavy.

I was a Refugee in 4 different countries, 2 continents where I was expose to different cultures and learned the importance of being underdog and different from the mainstream cultures. With that in mind, I learned the importance of being a helper to bridge the gaps and leaned the importance of commonalities that bind us together as human beings. With this background, I was exposed to war and realized the importance of resiliency when it comes to coping skills, such as meeting one own's physiological needs, security and safety or dying and death.

I believe that feeling comfortable and cared about are essential to your counseling experience. Positive change occurs when the client feels heard and empowered. When trust is established, clients feel safe in knowing that they can be honest. If you have lost a loved one, found yourself down in the dumps, feel anxious, or are experiencing other life challenges then it may be time to seek professional help. I offer an inviting atmosphere and a safe place in which clients can learn about themselves and develop the skills to overcome their challenges. I offer Christian counseling for those who are seeking this service.
