Everyone has the strength and capacity to change. As humans, we occasionally get stuck in unhelpful ways of thinking or behavioral patterns. As a counselor, my goal is to create a safe space for reflection and help you develop skills so that you can be better equipped when confronted with life’s difficulties.

The pain from past traumatic experiences, feelings of abandonment, loneliness, self-isolation, stress, anxiety, or depression can be devastating and can bring you self-destructive and antisocial behavior.

Help is available to enable you to overcome the pain and to find understanding that fits your lifestyle. I can work with any age group, but my preference is working with individuals who are 18 and older.

My ideal client is someone that is ready to work toward wellness. This person will likely be between 18 and 45.
