I have had a 33 + year career of counseling those in need with mental health and substance abuse issues. I have a unique approach to developing a trusting relationship that is meant to let the client steer me to what is important or missing in their life. It is part of the human condition for us to feel lost at times which facilitates the need for an experienced clinician to assist them in finding ways to cope with issues they are experiencing.

Issues don’t arise in vacuum, nor can healing happen in vacuum. I believe healing and growth can happen not just in therapy, but through everyday activities—whether it's connecting with others, engaging in creative hobbies, or practicing gentle self-care.
Human health is a holistic concept, influenced not only by diet, sleep, and habits, but also by our environment, social context, and generational legacy. I'm here to support you in finding what works best for your mental well-being.

My approach to providing therapy encompasses building a repertoire with the client through validation and empathy, then guiding the client to set goals from a mental and physical standpoint. The most common theoretical approaches I utilize are from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which entails guiding the client to alter their negative perspective by way of challenging anxious thoughts in order to form more positive thought patterns, all the while having the client engage in developing a more manageable lifestyle and environment, in order to better navigate their depressive symptoms.

It can be difficult to admit when we are struggling. Life can be a cruel teacher. It can teach us that if share our fears and anxieties with others, we are burdening them or giving them ammunition to use against us in the future. It may teach us that to seek help means we are weak, and that we should struggle alone. I want you to know that while it may not feel like it, seeking help is evidence of strength, not weakness. It proves that you are done with running from your fears and insecurities. You are looking to better yourself. Together, we can make sure you achieve that.

I redirected my career after working in retail for many years. I found that counseling was helpful in making effective changes in my own personal life and decided to return to school and become a counselor. I have worked with children and families, adults, teens, and seniors utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy to help others make changes in their lives also. I believe in holding people accountable for making those changes while walking alongside them to help guide them in the direction that they need to go. I am encouraging and help people find the path to the changes that they want to make in their lives.
