My role as a counselor is to be an instrument for change. I aspire to help others reach their full potential as we transition through life's challenges together. Using a strengths-based approach, I support clients as they learn to accept existing circumstances. I assist clients in developing clarity and encourage identifying areas where one can grow personally to attain realistic goals. Together we embark upon a journey that often times explores the price of self-doubt, the importance of forgiveness, and the ability to develop increased faith, trust, and belief in oneself.

I work with clients seeking to address a wide variety of issues while fostering self understanding and personal growth. Having vast experience working with families in the community and students in a high school, I work with adolescents and their parents to address behavioral and emotional issues. In addition, I have developed a specialty in couples counseling, which comprises about half my practice. Utilizing Imago Therapy as my foundation, I teach how relationships can be a place of healing and growth, while coaching couples to utilize communication skills to create the understanding, acceptance, and connection for which humans long.

My ideal client could be in any stage of addiction awareness. They might be considering whether they have a problem, whether they can stop on their own but need support, are ready to do what is necessary to stop drinking or using and sustained recovery support. There really is no ideal client, it is what the person needs at the time they are ready to ask for some help. Then we sit down and talk, and come up with an initial plan always remembering that it will probably change. I want to meet every client where he or she is in the path of recovery from addiction.

Many of us are living stressful lives these days and find ourselves stuck in what feels like autopilot. Finding therapeutic ways to relieve stress and become organized can help to switch out of autopilot and take control. Taking a moment to slow down and allow our emotional needs to be met can have a positive impact on our daily functioning.

Our emotional well-being is integral to our physical health. Individual or family therapy can enhance our ability to manage life's stressors, such as sudden or chronic illness, family conflicts, financial strain, or interpersonal problems, which can lead to anxiety, depression and physical maladies. Therapy is beneficial to people who struggle with a mental illness, such as clinical depression or bipolar disorder. Enhancing insight into our problems, along with the development of healthy coping skills is empowering, and can often mean the difference between facing each day with confidence or avoidance of living the best life possible.

I help women break free from these pain points to live the lifestyle they desire. Our sessions together would be tailored to your needs to break through anxieties, negative cycles, traumas, and to create a lifestyle design that meets your needs through a holistic lens.

Searching for the right therapist can be daunting and exhausting! I recognize the hesitation in sharing personal and vulnerable information with a stranger, yet encourage you to give it a try. Seeking guidance/direction/insight/skills on a situation in your life that needs to be addressed shows hope, courage, and strength.

“Life is full of ups and downs. The trick is to enjoy the ups and have courage during the downs.” Throughout our life, each of us will experience stress, trauma, or a crisis that can trigger overwhelming emotions, making us feel out of control. Even exciting occasions such as marriage, a new career, or the birth of a child, come with change and can make us feel anxious and unsure in a way we have never felt before. My goal as a therapist is to help my clients cope with and navigate these changes.

Change is hard. For some of us it is simply a need to explore a specific issue, job change, relationship exploration, or a goal for our future. For others, long held negative thoughts/ beliefs, anxiety and depression can paralyze moving forward, leaving us floundering for years. Regardless, change is possible. It is your turn, there is hope.
