I have been in the counseling world for the past 25 years, and most of the people I work well with are those who trying to adjust to unexpected life events which seem to create havoc in their daily lives.

***NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS***I have a passion to help those who are hurting; knowing and believing people can learn to understand dynamics and become equipped with the tools needed to move forward. I believe every person entering my office is unique, and my approach is to know and understand the person I am working with. My first and foremost goal for therapy is to provide an atmosphere for the individual to feel comfortable enough to be open, honest and vulnerable; to not feel judged, but listened to. The goal for each session is the person feels they have been heard, appropriate techniques provided, and ideas processed.

Personal life experiences have inspired me to help others. I have developed a deeper understanding and empathy for others that experience difficult times. I have experience working with clients that have experienced significant loss and trauma. Physical health and mental health problems, often, develop when an individual experiences high level of stress. Depression and other mental health problems may occur when individuals and families experience multiple issues. Some issues may include separation, divorce, and loss of a loved one.

I love helping others learn the value of self-empowerment and self-love. Therapy is a journey that generally requires effort and a desire to commit to YOU. The journey to self-awareness can be challenging, but rewarding. Congratulations on taking the first step. Now I'll help you learn to climb them.

I have a passion to see people healed, transformed and prospering in their life and soul. I have worked in mental health for over 10 years. In practice I work with those suffering from anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. I also work with singles and married couples to have a healthy relationship. I believe that sexual wholeness is part of our mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing so this is an area where I am working to grow and gain understanding in order to help others. It is my desire to be able to work along side of you through the healing journey in order to help you reach complete wholeness and peace within.

On the inside, you feel like you are falling apart. You may be thinking, “If people only knew the real me—would they stay”? You keep pushing; “if I just do this one thing then they will love and accept me” only to feel let down and unappreciated. You feel exhausted. You may be angry. You may even feel like you are losing yourself to everyone else around you. You feel like you are doing all you can, yet you still can’t make everyone happy. You want to run, hide or numb out.
