Your life moves pretty fast - don't you think it's time to take a step back and evaluate it? Because we're constantly on the go we rarely give ourselves a chance to make sense of our experiences; instead we bear our life burdens and hope for the best. Life isn't easy, whether it's because of what we were born into, what people have done to us, and/or what we've to done ourselves. My goal is to help you learn about yourself, teach coping skills, and help you apply those skills to your life for true change. All I ask is that you come motivated and ready to work. You'll never regret making time to work on yourself to be a better you.

Are your relationships creating emotional strain on your day to day life? Is communicating, setting personal boundaries, and managing your mood an ongoing difficulty?

I can support you through these challenges and more as you grow, reflect, and become more empowered to live the life you want.

In my professional work (testing and therapy), I believe in meeting individuals where they are at in their lives. I believe most individuals seek testing or therapy when they have reached a point where they feel something needs to change (for therapy patients) or they want an answer (for testing patients). I also believe some individuals are not as certain and seek professional assistance for guidance and direction. I am happy to work with patients wherever they are at in their "stage of change."

Wellness has been defined as a way of life oriented toward optimal health and well-being in which body, mind, and spirit are integrated to live more fully within the human and natural community. Ideally, it is the optimum state of health and well-being that each individual is capable of achieving. When working together in counseling, I perceive one’s thoughts are related to their feelings and reactions to events, not the events themselves. Counseling sessions are individualized to meet the unique needs of each client.
