I have over 20 years of experience in the behavioral health field.

Regardless of the pressing issue, most people struggle through transitions and adjustments in life. My goal is to provide professional quality treatment in the comfort of your own space in a manner that fosters growth, wellness, and positive thinking toward living a productive healthy life and stabilizing emotional distress.

We could all benefit from a non-judgmental person who will listen to us, collaborate and empower us to make changes in our lives. I am a strength based, solution focused therapy. I encourage and support individuals, couples and families to achieve wellness by providing a safe environment for processing emotions mindfully and teaching coping skills. I focus on guiding individuals in cultivating a healthy balance in activities and relationships while learning to cope with life’s stressors. https://www.therapyportal.com/p/transforming15701/.

Throughout life's journey, there are many paths, some more challenging than others. As we learn to make healthy habits part on of our lives, we become happier and more fulfilled in other areas. Counseling can help one work through many challenges such as: Stress, Depression, Anxiety, Work-Related Issues, Adolescent stressors (I have been working with adolescents for over 20 years in various settings), Parenting Issues, such as the unique challenges mother's of multiples encounter (I have personal experience with this, as I have twin boys), Grief and Loss,Pre-marital counseling,Marriage and Family difficulties, and Wellness.

In the current world of ongoing and chronic stress, life issues can interfere with anyone's ability to live their life to the fullest. Sometimes these issues are life crises like the death of a loved one, new life phases like parenting and adjusting to a new born, or downsizing when the last child leaves home. Sometimes these issues are related to efforts to manage what feels like overwhelming stress with things like the over use of alcohol, drugs, video games, gambling, eating, anger or other less productive behaviors. Depression, anxiety, sleep issues and worry can all result from the experience of daily life. Counseling can help.

We all get stuck at various points in our lives and need a different perspective, new education, or a sounding board for our thoughts & emotions. My desire is to help others make the best decisions they can, both for themselves and for their unique situations. For those who have a specific diagnosis, I'd like to help educate you about your challenges and advantages (yes, there can be positives too!). When we learn how our brain works, we can find solutions to overcome individual obstacles, strengthen relationships, and pursue a greater sense of peace.

My goal as a counselor is to create a positive, supportive environment in which you can explore yourself, your needs,and your goals. You will also have the opportunity to assess the barriers that prevent you from reaching your full potential. The rational, holistic, and non-judgmental nature to the counseling I provide allows YOU to guide your own counseling experience.

I want to help you live your best life. Whether through coaching or counseling, I strive to create a stable connection and safe space that lights sparks and promote your personal resilience.
