Are you the parent of a teen or young adult experiencing challenges with school and life transitions? Are you a teen or young adult struggling to achieve your goals or enhance your personal relationships? Overcoming obstacles to growth often requires self-exploration and changing the way we see ourselves.

Experiencing life changes, grief or loss often prompts us to seek counseling. As a counselor, my aim is to support and empower clients in making positive changes. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where individuals can find meaning in their challenges and grow from their experiences. I believe that with the guidance and respect of a counselor, people can overcome obstacles and discover their inner strength. Together, we work towards aligning actions, goals, and lifestyles with personal values, fostering authenticity and fulfillment. Integrity serves as my guiding principle throughout the therapeutic journey.

Sometimes the hardest thing we might do is taking the first step to begin counseling- getting help means we have struggles. The issues we face in life have the ability to deeply damage us, but also the potential for personal growth. Be encouraged that the first step to emotional healing is difficult, but it's worth taking. We can know how to love ourselves better if our value can be affirmed by someone who cares, and you can face them knowing you are not alone. I can help you reach your goals for counseling, or perhaps even find out where to begin.

Defeat the bad behavior not the kid. Play is the natural language of the child. Rules without relationship equals REBELLION- are terms I have used throughout my clinical career. Parents, remember the behaviors didn't take overnight to appear, nor will they disappear overnight. But with empathy, compassion, consistency equals CHANGE. OCFS specializes in children from 3 to 13 yo. Mobile-Office-Telehealth services available. OCFS is also a proud provider of Medicaid (BCBS, Superior Health, Dells Children).

Managing life's battles can be overwhelming and inherently all-consuming. I am direct, solution focused and client centered when it comes to working with people who are seeking treatment related to substance use/addiction disorders, family/relational conflict, spiritual questioning centered around trauma, grief or purposeful living, life transitions, case management, marriage and couples counseling as well as working with teens, emerging and aging adults.

The ideal client is one who is a collaborative individual wanting to tackle issues pertaining to motivation, anxiety control, overthinking, and feeling in control, this may involve existential questioning (LGBTQIA+).

Grief and loss, stress and trauma, life transitions, substance abuse, attachment issues, codependence, boundaries. My specialty is in grief, which means I work with individuals who have experienced a loss.
