Maybe you're looking for assistance in establishing boundaries with your partner, or perhaps you're simply feeling adrift and in need of guidance. Regardless of your circumstances, I'm here to steer you towards an improved life. As a seasoned Military Veteran and accredited Life Coach, Recovery Coach, and Substance Abuse Counselor, I've dedicated myself to enabling individuals to unlock their full potential since 2005.

I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, and nervous system dysregulation with children, teens, and adults. I encourage self-discovery to help you reconnect to your authentic self. In the therapeutic process, I provide psychoeducation and utilize a variety or proven techniques pulling from theories that help you reach your goals. My approach is designed to assist you in living your authentic life. There is nothing to fix, but there is a lot to understand. We all have unique life experiences that impact us as humans; this is part of life, and not a weakness.

We at Real Life Counseling are a group practice. We believe that everyone deserves counseling tailored to fit their needs. We enjoy the opportunity to teach and advise the people who come to our practice. The goal is to empower people to use their strength and wisdom to overcome their challenges and find solutions.

You're overwhelmed by your stress & anxiety, and frankly by emotions in general. Maybe people tell you that you are too sensitive, and you believe them. You hate that you feel so much all of the time. To protect yourself you work hard to "be normal." You try to keep your emotions in check by numbing, or over-doing, or holding yourself back, or isolating. What you don't know, yet, is your sensitivity is your unique gift, and that all of your strategies have served you well in the past, but may need a bit of an update to support you better as life continues to change and you continue to evolve.

Ahh TEENAGERS! Is your teen going through a hard time? Or giving you a hard time? You are worried that it might even get worse. Raising teens can be challenging. The fact is -- you don't have to navigate the teen years alone. I equip teens to deal with anxiety and depression, build healthy relationships with family and peers, and make good life choices. I am also a supportive guide to the parents of teens. I coach them to parent from the heart and build healthy family relationships.

I am committed to offering empathic rapport, evidenced based approaches, and meeting each individual right where they are. This includes integrating each individual's personal, spiritual, and cultural perspectives and experiences, at their request. I work with older kids, teens, young adults, and individual adults, seeking solutions for a variety of concerns including: depression, anxiety, stress management, trauma, communication, and relationships. I have received additional training in expressive therapies including play therapy and sand tray therapy.

Feeling overwhelmed? Not sure where to start in order to feel better? I have been working in the mental health sector for nearly twenty years providing crisis intervention, psychoeducation, and outpatient support. My greatest passion is supporting people in all walks of life to find emotional, physical, and spiritual BALANCE. Whether you are struggling with day-to-day stressors, a challenging life transition, or difficulty in relationships, I am here to support you in finding your way back to center. My promise to you is to listen well and work collaboratively in pursuing your goals in order to feel better and thrive.

If you are seeking guidance, it takes courage and strength. Whether you are struggling to adjust to a life transition, finding it hard to make changes last, or just ready to face your past, you do not have to find your way alone. Your thoughts, feelings and behaviors may feel overwhelming and impossible to understand or connect but I can work with you to create a space for change and help you find relief from the suffering.

Change is an amazing opportunity for growth. Whether the change is initiated by us or is unexpected, change is an opportunity to increase our self-awareness and grow towards realizing our best selves. Change is often challenging and can feel scary. Exploring how we react to change by following the thread of our reactive emotions, thinking and behaviors directs us to the strategies that will effectively set us on the path to self-discovery and empowerment.

I wholeheartedly believe that within everyone lies the capacity to heal, to regenerate and to create the most fulfilling life for ourselves. We all have our own unique blueprints for what it means to thrive, and to live a life of authenticity, alignment and equilibrium. With that in mind, we all also carry forth intergenerational, cultural and relational wounds that are just as unique and important to be unpacked and understood. Since 2014 I have been working in community mental health, crisis outreach and therapeutic services in order to understand what it takes to dissolve suffering and activate emotional healing.

When life throws you a curveball, even if it's an expected curve, it can take your feet right out from under you. It is my hope in counseling to help you find your footing again. To help you discover the strengths you didn't know or may have forgotten, you have within you. I work with individuals, couples, and families to find hope when you are knocked off your feet by some curves like interpersonal relationship distress, infidelity, empty nest, chapter of life changes, worry, work stress, and parent/adult relationships. Needing to remember who you were created to be? Reach out. Let's talk. (check spam for my email replies, please)
