While starting therapy can seem daunting, I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space in which we'll explore your concerns together. Therapy is a journey of rediscovering clarity, purpose, and joy. I have experience working with a culturally diverse population and provide individual counseling to children, adolescents, and adults. My focus is on counseling clients who are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, stressor related issues, anger management, interpersonal skills deficits, and cultural integration difficulties. As every client is unique, I tailor my therapeutic approach to match the client's needs, values, and goals.

I enjoy working with adults, adolescents and children. I treat the whole person (emotionally, physically and spiritually). I help to motivate you toward realistic lifestyle change by meeting you where you are in the process. I treat those with ADHD, parenting, depression, anxiety and marital issues to name a few. I believe the family is an important component to the treatment process; therefore family therapy is strongly encouraged, especially for children. I use different approaches based on the needs of the individual or family. At the top of my list are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family/Marital Therapy and Mindfulness Approach.

I have experience with clients of all ages from all walks of life. I utilize a strengths-based approach in which I empower clients to take charge of their symptoms and develop effective coping skills to manage those symptoms effectively. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, anger issues, relationship problems, low self-esteem, or are simply going through a rough patch in life, I am here to help. We can work together to identify how you can best overcome your challenges.

I work with my clients to empower self-discovery and healing from past and present hindrances. We journey together to work towards change and better outcomes. As a life coach and clinical therapist for over 10 years I've been given the ability to assess your "old paintings" in how you viewed yourself. I aid you in rewriting/correcting the wrongs as you gain insight on who you can become. My goal: help you to create a new canvas to life along with the tools to sustain it!

With experience as a former chaplain, working with adolescents and adults, I have a passion for working with people who are experiencing difficulties adapting to life's changes. I also have a background in addiction counseling, and enjoy working with people who are experiencing emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, separation, illness, and relational issues. (I DO NOT write letters for emotional support animals, complete unemployment paperwork, work-related accommodations, or concealed carry permits, etc.)

Life is not always easy. Sometimes life is challenging because of circumstances related to our actions; sometimes these challenges are a result of circumstances beyond our control. Regardless, these circumstances do not define us. It is, instead, our response to these circumstances that determines our course. My passion is working with individuals and families who are facing these storms. I love walking with my clients through these storms and into a bright new day. It is my hope that each of my clients will learn not just to weather and survive these storms but rather to conquer and overcome them.

*Please Note: I am not taking new clients at this time - I am preparing for maternity leave in February* I understand that the most difficult step in therapy can be making the first phone call and/or scheduling the first appointment. It is also important to feel comfortable and at ease with the person you choose to see for counseling. I aim to create a peaceful, safe space for my clients to explore and process their emotions or life stressors. I enjoy working with clients of all ages, and have professional training in treating both children and adults.

Confidentiality, compassion, creativity and expertise are elements I bring to every client session. Understanding that each person is unique, my 20+ years of experience and broad range of training in mental and emotional healthcare give me both versatility and adaptability; allowing me to meet you where you are in your life today. Through the building of a mutual trust, we'll explore the nature of the challenges you may be facing. We'll identify your strengths and your sensitivities, as well as the inner and outer resources you may not yet know how to access.

I enjoy working with adults that have unresolved issues that often stem from their childhood experiences. Many of us often feel stuck or on repeat, often making the same "mistakes" or choices that leave us feeling empty and unfulfilled. Gaining insight to past experiences and working through past traumas can provide us with emotional freedom and clarity, which can lead us to living a more fulfilling life.

Thank you for taking the time to consider me as your therapist. I find it the highest form of praise when a client sits down in my office for the first time, and says, “My friend/neighbor/coworker gave me your card…” I invite you to peruse my website and ask me any questions you might have. By the way, I do provide telehealth and in-person sessions.

Therapy is a process that requires dedication and work, sometimes you will feel worse before you feel better. I believe that everyone has the answers to their problems, they just don't know the questions to ask themselves, essentially I'm a GPS to wellness. There can be times when unresolved baggage affects your current progress and that baggage needs to be unpacked and addressed. I am straightforward and honest with my clients, coating one's issues in sugar does nothing but delay healing.
