Unfortunately many people have had negative experiences with counseling, making them hesitant to seek help again. I am especially skilled at working with those who are uncomfortable with the idea of therapy. A client once told me "You should be a therapist for people who do not like therapy". I try to understand people on an individual level & adapt my skills to meet their needs. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, & nonjudgmental atmosphere. Therapy should not be simply "learning coping skills", to deal with negative feelings, it should involve working through the root of the problem to facilitate long-lasting change.

Many of us have been emotionally wounded by family members, friends, loved ones, co-workers, and/or strangers. Psychological suffering can take on many forms, showing up in our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships. Sometimes it can be experienced as sadness, depression, worry, anxiety, etc. This form of suffering, while painful, often points to the parts of ourselves that invite healing. And while the challenges of living with such experiences can be immense, they also present opportunities for growth. The truth is that you can find peace of mind, solace in your heart, and live joyfully, regardless of your past.

Compassion, understanding and commitment to quality, collaborative and affordable care is what you can expect from your treatment.

The relationship between therapist and client is of the utmost importance throughout the therapy process. As your therapist, I bring myself fully to our interactions. As your therapist, I listen with a compassionate heart to what you tell me, but I also pay attention to how you tell me. I strongly believe in the transformative process that occurs through therapy. I am committed to individuals, families, and or couples striving to achieve a better quality of life. With compassionate, non-judgmental support, I will work with you to overcome some of life's most debilitating problems.

At WPA Counseling, We Understand the Ins and Outs of Mental Healthcare The path to a better and healthier mental health space can be long, intimidating, and scary. Here at WPA Counseling, we understand the obstacles and stigmas that come with mental health. Depression, anxiety, and even the fear of retaliation are all valid feelings to have when considering mental health counseling. The journey, however, begins with you.

Are you unsure where to begin? The counseling process can be difficult to start. I consider it a privilege to come alongside others while they navigate through transitions, trials, and unexpected circumstances. Life is a journey full of unknowns and that can make life difficult to handle on your own. I want to assist you in achieving your goals and work at a pace that is comfortable for you. The work that we will do will be collaborative and based on your strengths. We will build a tool box of skills and inspire self awareness as you work toward achieving your goals.

Are you stuck in a repetitive pattern that leaves you feeling helpless and misunderstood? Are you hoping for immediate change for you and/or your family?

I am also available to come into your home if that would be most helpful.

Are you looking for a therapist to get you unstuck on your journey through life? Are you hitting roadblocks on your path to your emotional well-being? Do you need help or assistance resolving obstacles at this point in your life? Or do you need to be heard or find your voice?
