Are you finding yourself in the middle of a transition and not sure where turn? Or are you are feeling anxious or down? Does it seem that you have tried everything, and it is just not working right now. You may have tried to navigate this alone, but you are not sure what else to do. It may be scary to ask for help. You may have a limited amount of time or resources.

I am currently taking new clients for virtual sessions. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (Supervisor) and also a Certified Health Coach. I have been working in the mental health field for over 10 years. I especially enjoy working with adolescents, adults and couples. I have worked with individuals on a wide array of issues such as, but not limited to, family issues, divorce, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, personality disorders, self-esteem issues, woman’s issues, parenting skills and health and wellness related concerns. I also provide LCMHCA supervision and currently have openings to provide supervision.

Clients tend to focus on the problem and want to "fix" the problem and reach their end goal. What I try to challenge my clients here is that instead of focusing on the problem, let us try focusing on solutions. Instead of focusing on an end goal, let us try walking through this life changing journey together. As a therapist, a positive therapeutic relationship and patience is key to fully understand and slowly opening up the shell of vulnerability. Once the client has allowed the therapist into their vulnerability, positive change can start to occur.

Evolve or repeat. Therapy, by nature, can be challenging. It can appear scary, overwhelming, and anxiety-inducing; you are essentially vocalizing (to a stranger!) your challenges, weaknesses, mistakes, and insecurities. And sometimes that needs to happen to grow. My mantra over the last year has been to evolve or repeat. That’s it. Evolve or repeat. Frequently we establish and maintain patterns of thoughts and behaviors, based on past experiences and memories which are unhealthy and unproductive. I found these patterns and cycles are the root to unhappiness and barriers to change.

I work with clients to help unlock their potential and achieve their goals. Change is one of the hardest things to do, and I am here to help facilitate that. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, families as well as run groups using a variety of therapeutic approaches that include: cognitive-behavioral therapy, client-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, family-systems therapy, meditation and mindfulness therapy. I specialize in helping those with issues pertaining to ADHD, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, male issues, anger management, vulnerability, relationship issues, and work/life balance.

Take a second and think, "What brought me here?" Are life's demands causing you added stress? Are you feeling a lack of control over the direction your life is heading? Do you feel like you are walking through life without actually living it? If you answered yes to any of these questions, counseling can help address your concerns and provide you with the skills and resources needed to feel better and thrive.

I founded my practice to help women reclaim their power by finding their “inner voice” to communicate, become more vulnerable, and be more self-compassionate in their everyday lives. I am passionate about acknowledging client’s strengths as they overcome shame and guilt from past life experiences. In doing this, I strive to provide clients with a safe and non-judgmental environment to achieve their goals. I work primarily with millennial women and teens dealing with anxiety, self-esteem, and communication issues.

It can be exhausting to feel like you've tried it all and keep getting the same results. While on the outside, you seem to have it together, on the inside, you're dealing with chaos. You've tried to set goals, but your mind is too scattered to be consistent. I can support and empower you to be a more healed and powerful version of yourself and break free from sabotaging behaviors. In a world where most people wear masks, it's a privilege to see a soul. This is how I see my role as your therapist. To see past your pain and help you uncover your true inner light.

My goal is to provide a relationship which you may use for personal growth. Whether it's post-partum support, day-to-day stress, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, alcohol and drug addiction or trauma, I partner with you when life becomes un-manageable to work towards positive change. Whether it's post-partum support, day-to-day stress, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, alcohol and drug addiction or trauma, I partner with you when life becomes un-manageable to work towards positive change. I strive to create an environment that allows you to feel comfortable, safe and facilitates growth.

Looking forward to seeing you grow.

Life gets busy; it sometimes feels too busy to stop and take a moment. When this happens, feelings of overwhelm, worry, and burnout occurs. I strive to help you take ownership and find strength when feeling powerless. I work with teens, college students, and adult women in areas of confidence, life transitions, and perinatal/women's issues. Loving who you are is not a linear process. I want to help you feel comfortable in your skin so you can navigate life feeling proud, confident, and worthy of meaningful connections.

Accepting New Clients: Symptoms often emerge as adaptive mechanisms and solutions to address events and emotions. This is particularly applicable to survivors of trauma, encompassing physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, as well as other experiences involving loss and grief. These symptoms can shift from being solutions to becoming the very problems clients aim to address in therapy in pursuit of relief. In addition to imparting new coping strategies designed to alleviate these symptoms, when applicable, clients are also supported in addressing the underlying issues that gave rise to the development of these symptoms.

I believe all individuals deserve respect and dignity. I am passionate in regards to processing experiences and navigating options for moving forward. I believe, as individuals, we function as a whole through physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual values and priorities. My goal is to create an environment in which these can be investigated, processed, and utilized in planning and moving forward into a functional and meaningful life.

If you are feeling resistant, frustrated, or uncertain about what next steps to take to feel better, then I can help you get started in an experienced, judge-free, comfortable setting. If anger, anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, traumatic events, oppositional children, interpersonal conflicts, workplace issues, or bullying is getting in your way of happiness, I can guide you to overcome these challenges. I also help people who are satisfied with their current situation but would like to enhance skills and live at their fullest potential.

You know what it feels like to sit at your kitchen table or on your front or back porch with a close friend or family member & talk the hours away? Some conversations bring laughter. Some bring tears. Some bring clarity. Therapy can take those conversations to the next level. You can expect therapy with me to be very relaxed. Put your feet up! Bring in your lunch! Check your phone! Tell me about your dog! Show me pictures! You tell me what is working and not working for you in therapy & I'll adjust. We'll move at your pace towards goals you set.

Now accepting Medicare. Stressed-out? Feeling lost? Struggling to get through your day? Imagine a life without overwhelming anxiety, depression or self doubt, but instead you can feel empowered, self assured and even just relaxed despite all of life's stressors. Therapy can help you to achieve that self assurance, sense of peace and increased coping ability. I believe that everyone is unique and has their own unique journey; therefore, therapy should be person-centered and non-judgmental.

Do you struggle with people-pleasing tendencies that affect your relationships with others? Do you tend to put others' feelings and needs before your own? Do you struggle with setting boundaries and often avoid conflict? Now more than ever, people are feeling overwhelmed by the need to “do it all”. Putting others' needs before your own and not taking care of yourself can lead to long-term negative effects on your physical and mental health. I believe that there is hope and encourage others to “fill their cup”!
