My ideal client is a person that needs help with regulating their day to day life due to relationship issues, codependency, couples issues, emotion regulation, parenting concerns, issues with the law, weight loss and obesity, and self-esteem concerns. I have worked a lot with victims of abuse in many forms. I enjoy helping others put the pieces of their life together step by step.

Some folks choose therapy because they want to grow personally, and they desire a supportive person to assist in that process. Other folks choose therapy because they are in intense pain -they may be feeling emotionally overwhelmed or experiencing a crisis in a major relationship. I am comfortable working in either situation. I will provide a safe environment to explore your thoughts and feelings to help make sense of them. I will work to strengthen your healthy connections with others.

I treat adults, couples and families through an interactive supportive counseling process. Many of the issues my client's encounter stem from relationship issues, depression, anxiety, addiction, substance abuse, life adjustment, work stress, school, and behavioral problems. I have a realistic straightforward approach to addressing these situations.

What is a childhood memory that makes you smile and instantly happy? I heard this question on the radio some time ago. And at that moment, I honestly had no response. Over time I realized the answer was there. I had just buried it under the muck and mess of my childhood experiences. I believe the adult we become is the sum of our childhood experiences- both good and bad.

My goal is to help individuals and families reach their potential by working together and setting achievable goals. I specialize in serving preteens, adolescents and adults. I have experience in serving those who may be experiencing the following: anger management, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, grief and loss, hyperactivity and impulse control, ineffective communication, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem, social skills and trauma.

I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues that include depression and grief counseling to parenting support, couples counseling and beyond. I specialize in helping individuals overcome the challenges that occur on a daily basis. I have found that everyday stress can become overwhelming and can result in self-destructive behaviors, thoughts, and emotions. I offer support and assistance in searching for ways to achieve growth in your personal life and relationships. In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of my clients individual needs to help attain the personal growth they're striving for.

Life has a way of surprising us with unexpected twists and turns. It's during these moments when we may find ourselves feeling stuck, unsure of the path ahead.

That's where I come in; I'm here to support you in navigating the uncertainties that can sometimes overwhelm us. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to explore your emotions, find peace with past wounds, and discover hope for the future.

In our work together, we can focus on better understanding your relationship patterns, understanding and managing your anxiety, learning ways to cope with depression, process past and/or ongoing trauma, & more. Along with individual therapy, I also offer adolescent therapy ages 12+. My work with adolescents is centered on offering a place where they feel less alone in their experience and learning essential life skills such as emotional regulation, building confidence, and creating positive relationships with others.

Do you wish you had more support and the tools to better adapt to life's changes? Do you wish you felt more in control of your circumstances? Are you skeptical about counseling? You don't have to be alone in your journey. It can be difficult making that first move towards taking the chance at a more satisfying, fulfilling life, no matter your age or the circumstances you are in. It would be an honor to listen to your experience, provide helpful tools, and work with you as you make the changes towards a healthier life!

Have you fallen into a rut and cannot get out? Life is full of unexpected events. Let me join you in utilizing your strengths to find your footing. Dealing with the effects of trauma can be debilitating. The connection between mind, body, and spirit is vital in looking at the whole person. I am an intern finishing my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have over 25 yrs. of background in nursing.

I specialize in working with individuals, couples and families who have a desire to maximize their strengths and live more effectively. I believe strongly there is hope in the most overwhelming of circumstances and strive to help my clients discover how they can be active participants in the world in which they find themselves.

A decision to seek therapy can be a dubious and frightening process, and taking that initial step can be challenging. As the founder of New Beginnings Counseling Services, I understand this dynamic, and my desire is to help you take that step in a warm, accepting, and inviting environment. My goal is to partner with you and guide you through this season of life as you courageously journey towards your new beginning.

Life can be intense. We can get stuck in feelings, worries, and past experiences. Sometimes we know what we want our lives to look like, but don’t quite know how to get there. Maybe we aren’t sure what needs to change, but we know the current plan is not working anymore. Sometimes we get lost in a sea of what we think we should be able to do. This can result in feeling that we don’t do enough or aren’t good enough. These negative thoughts can affect our self-esteem, sleep, and relationships.

Counseling can be an opportunity for us to do some honest assessments of our lives and how we feel. I am passionate about empowering, supporting, and providing clinical therapy to teens and emerging/young adults. I specialize in anxiety, depression, social skills, self-esteem, trauma, body-image, peer relations, and behavior modification. I am a firm believer that all clients are the experts of their lives and it is my job to provide extra support, expert guidance, and new perspectives. The goal is to empower you to develop fresh insights about your life, make healthier choices, and develop health coping skills to manage distress.

Finding someone you can trust to talk to is tough. My role as a counselor is to create a safe space for people of all backgrounds, classes, orientations and creeds in order to process and receive support. My goal as a counselor is to empower, encourage, and assist my clients in improving their quality of life and making the changes necessary to achieve their goals.

Sometimes there is just too much "noise" in our minds. Whether it's a painful memory, intrusive thoughts, self-doubt, or just asking yourself, "Why am I here? What is my life's purpose?" I am a counseling intern at The Healing Journey, and I'd love to help! I also work with individuals on the spectrum, high-functioning but struggling to find their voice or their groove. Together we can talk through your struggles so you can achieve the most out of life, learn skills to manage stress and overwhelm and get back to enjoying just being YOU.

As my client took their seat across from me for the first time I got the feeling that they were about to change my understanding of trauma forever... I work with clients who want to explore and change their narrative around their mental health concerns. I provide a style of therapy that aims to externalize the story that comes from within and help people to rewrite their psychological scripts into a narrative that reflects one of opportunity, growth and strength.
