Mental health issues do not define who you are. It is something any of us can experience at any point in our lives. Maybe you're feeling depressed or anxious and cannot seem to pinpoint why. Or you might feel like the daily stress of life is becoming too much to tackle on your own. Perhaps you are even here in hopes to help someone else in your life. Counseling creates a safe place to discuss any and all mental health issues whether big or small. Talking to someone can help you gain the necessary tools to take back control over your emotions and change your behaviors in a more positive direction.

Are you not living the life you want to? Are certain thoughts, feelings, or behaviors impacting you achieving your goals in life? Do you need someone to talk to who can offer validation, understanding, and empathy? If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, difficulty managing your emotions, relationship issues, self-destructive behaviors, or just feel that learning more effective coping skills to handle day to day life could be helpful, I would be honored to help you on your journey.

As a provider, my goal is to create a safe space to allow children, teens and young adults, the opportunity to be open to the therapy process. Trusting that therapy is a learning experience and trust that you'll be guided during this journey. With understanding that this journey may not always be easy, parents will be given the space to express their concerns, and learn tools, to assist with their child.

I believe that people have an inherent capacity for growth, especially in our most challenging periods of life. One significant way that this growth can be discovered is through psychotherapy. Whether you feel stuck in your past, present, or anticipated future, therapy can not only build awareness, but also offer solutions to ease emotional strife, develop healthier behaviors, and build better connections with yourself and others.

Seeking out help is not an easy thing to do! I use a strengths based approach when guiding you through your wellness journey. I have been working with children, adolescents, adult and families for almost 20 years. I specialize in helping clients learn to cope with anxiety and depression, improving interpersonal relationships, and improving overall mental health and wellness. One day or day one, the choice is yours.

Currently accepting new clients with immediate openings! We embrace the uniqueness of each individual. Our team of over 50 licensed therapists recognizes that there's no 'one-size-fits-all' in therapy. Every client brings distinct challenges, aspirations, and worldviews. Our focus? Tailoring our approach with the latest evidence-based practices. Key for us is a client's willingness to embark on a journey of change. Our diverse experience spans various demographics, ensuring a personalized experience. Proudly Veteran-owned, our practice is adept at addressing the needs of diverse groups and ages.

Everyone deserves time and space to explore and better understand their thoughts, feelings, reactions and behaviors, and to experience inner peace and joy. It is an honor to share space with someone interested in growth and healing. Once we can better understand our past experiences and how they affect us in the present, we have more choices and can make adjustments in our life as we see fit. I believe that you know what is best and have the answers. Through the therapy process, and safely delving into those hurt places, those answers will come to light and help you figure out the best way to care for yourself.

Do you feel stuck? Are you having trouble regaining balance and moving forward? Sometimes feelings of worry and sadness can interfere with our daily lives. Depression can make going to work or school seem like an enormous task. You may have low energy, lack of motivation, overwhelming sadness or feelings of uncontrollable worry. Therapy can help! www.corementalhealthcounseling.com

Having difficulty navigating life? Finding it troublesome to find peace at home? at work? with getting proper care? Working with Veterans of the US Armed Forces, their families and those reintegrating into society is where I dedicate a great deal of my time and study. I interface well with those who have experienced episodic or chronic exposure to trauma or who feel they need to "start a new life" or gain "a fresh start". Together, we can focus on resiliency and perseverance.

Feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or like the past is holding you back? Tired of being stuck in the same patterns and looking to make a change? Ready to move forward and build the life you want to lead?

Surprisingly, the trickiest part isn't the treatment for what ails you, it's finding the willingness to do what's needed. Really, there are two kinds of therapy: There's therapy for your "symptoms," and there's therapy that helps you to embrace change and growth to begin with. Most people have been hampered in some way for some time, then something puts them over the edge and they are suddenly willing to see a therapist. People want to feel better or have more satisfying lives--it's the getting there that's the sticking point!
