Healing is a mind, body and soul interaction that results in wholeness. Mental illness or stress of any kind takes a toll on the mind and one's overall well being, causing great dissatisfaction and living in a state of existence instead of living fully. I can help with navigating through these issues and walking with you through your path of healing. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over ten years of experience. I utilize an integrative approach to therapy and have been in private practice for the past eight years. I look forward to beginning a healing journey with you.

Do feel your emotions, thoughts, and life are controlling you instead of the other way around, despite outward appearances? Are there things you’ve wanted to talk about and share but feel afraid or ashamed of? Do you yearn to feel accepted, understood and crave balance, peace, and awareness? You don’t have to do this alone. I have walked with many through their “darkness” whether it’s Depression, Anxiety, trauma and been a companion to those on a quest for growth and understanding. I know how lonely and scary it can feel to face these things alone.

It’s painful watching your child struggle. Of course you want to help them, but you’re not quite sure how. Your teen retreats to their room the moment they come home, you want to talk, but it seems they’ve completely shut you out. If you have a younger child, you may have noticed them being more clingy, throwing more tantrums, or having trouble sleeping. These changes in your child or teen seem to be worsening and now it’s reached a point where you may need additional help. While this feels overwhelming and draining for both you and your child, know that change is possible.

People struggling with fears, depression, relational problems, especially people who have somehow "lost" themselves tend to experience me as deeply compassionate yet able to target the primary cause(s) of their pain and identify what they may be doing to contribute to the ongoing problems in their lives. A sometimes surprising part of my therapeutic manner is that I am interactive in sessions while maintaining great respect for a person's capacity to direct their own lives and utilize their current pain toward growth of their real self and, hence, an enlivened life.

Do you get caught up in judging yourself for being overwhelmed by anxiety? Perhaps your self doubts bring on that heart-racing, agitated feeling that makes it hard to focus and get things done.

You may even feel like you're failing everyone. Now imagine being able to sort through your fears, worries and responsibilities in a way that doesn’t undo you.
