As you open your eyes to another day, the tightness in your chest is still there. The hum of nervousness has begun in your belly and you're not even sure what you're really worried about. Dread fills your mind as you realize today is going to be one of those anxious days. You keep telling yourself to stop, relax and chill-out. It still doesn’t get better. You try to pause and see all you have going for yourself, thinking about the people who love you. Every day you give full effort to do what’s right, put your friends and family first. None of it works. None of it stops the worry. It feels as if the anxiety now has full control.

Our emotions and actions can negatively impact our relationships with those around us. I approach counseling from a collaborative perspective, in which you, the client, and I work together to identify ways to address your concerns and meet your therapeutic goals. I firmly believe that each client has the ability to accomplish their goals when they can engage authentically in a nonjudgmental therapeutic space. I approach the counseling relationship from the perspective that my job is to help provide a new perspective to the situations you bring to session as well as tools and techniques to help address these areas.

I believe that all of us have suffered from feeling that we are not in control of our lives. When that experience persists then our instinct to protect ourselves can push us into patterns of behaviors that range from bad habits to behavior that damages relationships and threatens our physical and mental health. I help people by focusing on their strengths rather than their weaknesses, to build supportive relationships with themselves and others, and to help them see themselves as unique and worthwhile persons. We do this together through a therapeutic relationship.
