Sometimes life is hard. At times, the things that seem to work in the past don’t work as well anymore. Counseling is designed to help people overcome hard times by partnering with them to find resolution and wellness. Counseling can improve your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being as well as your relationships with others. You may have specific issues to address or just want to enhance your day-to-day living. I view counseling as a way to enrich your life. Over many years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside countless people as we successfully find solutions to their mental health and addiction issues.

My work with teens and adults who have experienced trauma begins with meeting them where they are at. I utilize a person centered approach with trauma informed care practices to ease clients into therapy. Teaching coping skills and assisting in emotional exploration are key skills needed to begin the healing process and I am ready to help you identify the skills you already possess.

The decision to begin therapy does not make you weak minded or a weak person; it does not mean you have failed, it means you're ready to get better! Everyone has different reasons for attending therapy: anxiety, trauma, family, relationship issues, intimacy issues, gender dysphoria.... No matter what made you take this step know that you are in a safe space where your rights and beliefs are fully validated. As a client focused therapist I will not give you advise but rather help you find your own solutions to the barriers lying in your way that's keeping you from living your best life.

Life is not always perfect. There are ways to live through difficult moments a little easier. I like to think of counseling like a space where you get to explore, connect, and grow. There are many unpleasant moments in life that we carry and need healing. Finding the right counselor and space to heal and move on from painful memories is important. Counseling can sometimes feel scary, but when you don’t feel balanced it can carry into other aspect of your life. Like I tell my clients “I’m here for your counseling journey, for the great sessions and the bittersweet ones too”.

In a world of challenges and stressful events faced by individuals of all ages and their families, the support of a caring and involved counselor provides the opportunity to aim for self-fulfillment and personal growth. I believe that I can help you uncover the path to a meaningful life. I aim to support you in understanding and resolving challenging behavior patterns and perceptions to move in a new and positive direction in your life. Are you committed to your life goals? Are you hoping for a life of celebration and well-being? ....I am just a phone call away!
