I specialize in working with families all together to support change longevity. I particularly enjoy working with clients suffering from anxiety, depression, or facing relationship difficulty.

"Email for faster response" As a clinical professional counselor with over 12 years of experience, I provide an individualized and diverse approach to help you achieve your needs and have worked with a wide range of concerns such as: LGBTQ, addictions, behavioral issues, personal wellness, depression, stress/anxiety, PTSD, relationship issues, and many other issues you may be struggling with.

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead the life you want. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

I am not accepting new clients at this time-I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I am passionate about providing mental health services to those in need by coming alongside clients and providing treatment that aligns with their values and interests. My goal is to provide an environment where clients feel safe to express their thoughts and feelings, and where clients feel heard, accepted, and respected.

Life is hard sometimes. Sometimes things happen to us that are beyond our control. Sometimes we just have thoughts and feelings that won't go away. Sometimes we end up hurting those around us because we don't know what else to do or how not to react to our thoughts and feelings. Whether your goals are to reduce anxiety, depression, process trauma, strengthen your relationships all to live your best life.

You, as my client, are the number one focus. As a mental health therapist/counselor I place great value on working in a supportive environment and assisting you to develop goals to help you become a better individual who lives life to the fullest. In identifying your issues and questions, the general goal of counseling is to help you learn to implement coping mechanisms. Mental health counseling should be an educational process as well as a developmental process.
