Choosing a counselor is a significant step toward personal growth, and I am honored that you are considering me to accompany you on this journey. At the heart of my approach is the unwavering belief that every individual possesses inherent strength and resilience. I understand that seeking counseling can be both a courageous and vulnerable act.

I believe every person develops an internal story about themselves that tends to dictate the way they live, how they interpret experiences, and how they respond to life stressors. For various reasons, we can begin to see ourselves as characters in our life stories rather than active agents who are in control of the way our life unfolds. This in turn affects our outlook, thoughts, mood, choices, and relationships.

Life is a balancing act and its filled with chaos and insanity. We try to handle these things on our own and often feel lonely and overwhelmed. Either you're prideful, scared, unsure, or just feel like what you're facing isn't a counseling matter, but you're struggling. Counseling is for everybody and any issue can be a counseling issue. If it's causing stress, anxiety, depression, a decrease in work/life balance or anything close, it's time to ask for help. If your scales fill tipped and you want to figure out how to realign them, then I'm here for you!

Despite your best efforts, is lack of change compelling you to courageously consider another approach? Are efforts to avoid haunting memories, anxiety, sleep problems, or depression creating more problems? Traumatic experiences can limit our personal or professional life in ways we can no longer accept. You may be unsure what you experienced is considered traumatic, yet it continues to interrupt your life. Those in mental, medical, and veterinary health fields face unique challenges reaching out for and receiving help. If you are tired of suffering and ready enough to begin healing, you're in the right place!
