I have worked with
adults
from all walks of life and am willing to be a resource of help for you.
Every one of us is on a very personal journey through life and we all face unexpected challenges from time to time. Your road ahead may seem impossible to navigate and may even feel overwhelming. In these moments it's good to have help available and accessible. It's never easy to ask for assistance but that is the first and most important step in getting back what now seems lost and out of reach.

Over the course of an individual's life, new events can lead to a disruption in the ability to effectively cope with stressors that may have once been handled effectively. As such, my professional focus is on helping clients who have been through a traumatic/stressful event heal more effectively so that they may resume their lives in a healthier and happier manner. I work primarily from a Cognitive-Behavioral and Strength-based approach, and specific mental health concerns I specialize in include, but are not limited to, Relationship Difficulties, Parenting, Addiction, ADHD, Depression/Anxiety, Trauma/PTSD, and Grief.

I cannot think of a single person who hasn't hit a bump in the road of life. We all have this happen- you know, times when we go a bit off track. Maybe, it is difficulty at home or couples constantly arguing. Maybe parents and children are not getting along. Perhaps it is more personal: you are just not feeling quite right, are feeling down and depressed, or are anxious and disorganized. Maybe you are struggling with past hurts or trauma. I am here to help.

Counselor, MS, LPC-IT, NCC

Have you or your child experienced a scary or traumatic event.
Adults
and children experience similar emotions after a trauma but children may not have the words or ability to tell you whats going on inside. They often act out in ways parents and teachers may find difficult to understand or deal with. You may see changes in sleep/eating patterns, speech delays, anger, irritability, tantrums, fearfulness, aggression, bad dreams, worry or increased health problems.
Adults
express their trauma through depression, anxiety, intimate relationship problems, and anger. Most don't understand why. Both just want the turmoil inside to STOP!

Your burnout is real and it’s not just about the workplace. High expectations from yourself and others have led you to feel maxed out in all areas of your life. Whether on the job, out with friends, or at home with your family, you’re constantly on edge. The fast pace of your life has you feeling like you’re juggling balls with your hands and feet. Everyone is depending on you. You want to do your best in everything you do—it’s in your DNA. Each task feels so important—not worth giving up. There is so little room in your schedule, it feels like if you even breathe between tasks and somehow you’ve lost a part of yourself.

I offer court-ordered alcohol and drug assessments, DOT assessments as a certified Substance Abuse Professional (SAP), as well as attorney-ordered assessments. What makes my approach unique, is my ability to adapt treatment to fit your specific needs thereby making a complicated process a little more manageable. When the client can wrap their mind around the problem in a way they've never considered it is the beginning point for effective and meaningful therapy.

As an Air Force Veteran, I understand the hesitancies of seeking help of any kind but especially for mental health. After bearing witness to some of the most difficult life changing circumstances imaginable, and through my own journey of self-discovery and acceptance, I ventured towards becoming a therapist in the pursuit of helping others become the best versions of themselves. Always encouraging, I value the therapeutic relationship, authenticity, and individual responsibility, focusing on the positives in one’s life and not pathology. Life is a "crazy" ride and things can get messy...I am not afraid to join you on that ride.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
