Let's get honest, - if you are struggling with anxiety, depression, pornography, and intimacy issues, it is affecting your life. Counseling can be the answer. Struggles in relationships don’t occur during one spat or because of one negative event. Healing happens over a ​period of time as well, but don’t believe that old myth that says, “Time heals all wounds.” I have worked with many people who have discovered the source of their issues and found the right solutions.

During times of stress and uncertainty, it may be difficult to get through the day, go to work, or be present with your loved ones. On top of that, these uncertain times can trigger anxiety, overwhelming emotions, and cause us to feel "stuck". Therapy provides an opportunity to find hope for the future, find joy and happiness, stability, and a sense of meaning or purpose in a rapidly changing world. I believe that everyone deserves a nonjudgmental, compassionate, and empathetic therapeutic experience.

I believe in a rapport-based approach to therapy: mainly authenticity in communication and interpersonal development of relationships. I aim to remove stigmas and depathologize issues, focusing on outcomes over symptoms. My philosophy is that people are often unaware of their core values, or stressors have made them seem far too distant. When building acceptance around the reality of problems facing families, and focusing on objectives that improve wellness, change can occur. The behavioral interventions, objectivity, and support found in the therapeutic relationship help lead individuals and families to their goals.

Life seems really good, right? Your family loves you. You love them too. You love your job, have a great career, or you are are working towards one. yet you feel sad, scared, hurt and lonely. You want to be happy, joyful and hopeful about life. Days and nights all run together and life seems meaningless and without purpose. Your relationships are not fulfilling. You have crying spells but you wear a game face like everything is going great. It's time to find joy and happiness. it's time to build and enjoy nurturing relationships.

Mental health has always carried stigma; most commonly people learn at an early age, "we don't talk about it." Differing events in life can cause symptoms of depression, anxiety, and many other mental health conditions.

My passion is within helping individuals and families reach their full potential and goals.

Comparison of pain can frequently keep us from reaching out for help because “someone has it worse.” I am here to help you walk through whatever pain has brought you to where you currently are, grief, anxiety, depression, or transitions in life.
