You haven't been yourself lately and have been struggling to understand why. You have been suffering and experiencing symptoms that you know may be trying to tell you something about your life but you are struggling to put the pieces together and find a way forward. You know that there is more to life than suffering but you feel immobilized by your pain, depression, anxiety, and relational conflicts.

WEEKEND AND EVENING APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE. I provide direct, insightful feedback that allows a client to confidently learn to manage their own lives in a healthy and productive way. I enjoy working with clients who take responsibility for their own behaviors and are willing to look at where they are called to grow. I understand the role of spirituality in counseling and psychology. I also understand the difference between spirituality and religiosity. My wide life experience is my greatest asset to offer to clients. This experience serves the client well as we address the concerns and issues that the client faces.

Thoreau wrote: “All change is a miracle to contemplate, but it is a miracle which is taking place every instant.” Right now, you may be struggling with interpersonal conflict, insomnia, low productivity, loneliness, chronic stress, or insecure relationships. Maybe this counselor profile is the first you’ve read, or the thousandth. Either way, now is the best time to seek some guidance along your journey of life. As a counselor, I hope to help you find the answers to the challenging and painful questions that have been holding you back. That way, you can start positively influencing your future by mindfully living in this moment.

People are special and sometimes they need to be reminded of their unique gifts, perspectives and abilities. Sometimes they may feel overwhelmed, unheard, or even unseen. But they matter. They matter to others although it may not always seem that way. I am here to help remind you that you matter, give you the support that will help lift you, motivate you, encourage you and keep you focused on how valuable and indispensable you are. You impact other people's lives, and they need you. I will remind you of those facts. I will help you process the thinking that may try to undermine you, and help you find happiness and success in life.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Is excessive worry keeping you up at night? Are you tired of making the same mistakes time and again? Life can present a host of challenges. When it does, it is important to have the support of a skilled professional who can help you navigate life's difficulties. For over 15 years, I have worked with individuals, couples, children, and families who find themselves in difficult places. My work includes helping those who experience distress from excessive worry, depression, grief, or anger.

Many of my clients want to experience self-realization/actualization. Most want richer relationships, more confidence in the workplace and a greater sense of joy in life. Some want to improve the management of daily stress and overcome symptoms associated with depression, anxiety, grief and trauma. Many simply want support in reaching optimal physical health & emotional wellbeing.

I specialize in assisting individuals in understanding the root causes of their frustrations, anger, anxiety, and feelings of inadequacy in managing life's challenges. If you find yourself navigating the complexities of an intercultural relationship and feel in need of support, I'm here to lend an empathetic ear and practical guidance.

We don't control what life gives us but we create what we have around what life gives us. I teach people to be aware of "how" they are creating what they are having... when they know how they create it, then they now have the power to change it- IF and WHEN they ( not spouse, family, friends, or me) want to. Creating change is a person's REAL POWER. Assessment of needs is done in a safe, comfortable environment utilizing Individual, Couple, Family, and Group settings.

I understand that considering professional counseling can be intimidating to start, my goal is to provide professional counseling that will empower clients to achieve personal goals and develop mental wellness. I specialize in achieving Life Balance, Couples Counseling, Stress management, Pro-Athlete Counseling & Post Pro-Athlete Life Transition, Boundary Setting, Empowerment, Self-Esteem and Self-Adoration.

Life and relationships often bring pain and when we feel pain we often react in ways that create more pain for us. Sometimes for others, too. I am a trauma-informed counselor. I will help you figure out your pain cycle. We’ll work together to create a response that will bring peace instead.

People enjoy daily routines in life. Going to work, spending time with family and friends, and hobbies that they love to pursue. Sometimes, unhealthy habits intertwine with such routines, such substance use or non-communication with family members. These habits can interrupt our daily routines and turn into an obsession. Instead of looking forward to the weekend to spend time with healthy endeavors, the weekends could be a time to escape or isolate

Many people see therapy as a one-sided conversation, with little opportunity for interaction or getting to experience each other as real people. I can promise you that I am as real as it gets! I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing yourself in new ways. Simply put, I don't believe therapy has to always be a painful thing. Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call and see how I can help.

I’m skilled at wading into real life pain and struggles including conflict patterns, depression, anxiety, anger and irritability, bereavement, self-doubt, directionlessness and indecision, fear and insecurity, and suicidal thinking. I work with individuals and couples who are struggling and need support, hope, and a helping hand in becoming self-aware.

"PROGRESS, NOT PERFECTION." Three simple words with profound implications. People seek therapy for one fundamental reason: Something in their life is not working, and they want to find a solution, an answer, to make things right again. In other words, people come to counseling to change what is no longer effective. "WITH EACH STEP, I AM GETTING STRONGER." This is my guiding philosophy, personally and professionally. I firmly believe that with enough time, support and guidance, everyone is capable of creating the change, the progress they want in their life.

Are you and your partner struggling to communicate or connect effectively? Would you like to improve the quality of your social network? Are you ready to take the next steps in optimizing your life? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you’ve come to the right place. I specialize in helping others assess and build their emotional intelligence so that they can have healthier relationships and better lives. I look forward to hearing from you!

Are you your own worst critic? Maybe you spend a lot of time beating yourself up, asking questions like “What’s wrong with me?” I know because I’ve worked with so many other people with similar struggles, and as a veteran, I’ve experienced it myself. Such negative thoughts are normal when you’ve never learned to combat them. Unfortunately, they contribute to many issues such as depression and anxiety. They can even worsen symptoms from trauma. The good news is you can change your patterns of thinking. One of my favorite quotes from Marcus Aurelius is “The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.”

I am a caring, trustworthy and direct straight-shooter. I'm passionate about helping couples and individuals achieve greater happiness and fulfillment. Are you in a relationship and still feel alone? Do you feel taken for granted by your spouse? Does it feel like your partner has stopped listening? Have you lost that special feeling, that connection, and can't seem to find it? Is your partner reluctant to come in counseling? Whether your relationship is old or new, I can help you learn how to communicate more effectively, heal pains and truly enjoy your journey together.
