Hello,I am one of the owners of Be You Mental Health Counseling. I am Happy that you are here. I work with all ages but have extensive experience with working with children and adolescents to help them navigate the struggles they might be experiencing and help to guide them to be the happiest and best self they can be. I also have extensive experience working with sports psychology and athletes struggling to deal with anxiety and the pressures of athletics. I am here to make therapy a safe place to help you navigate your way through the up and downs of life.

Welcome! I understand that taking the step to attend therapy can be overwhelming. I offer an empathetic, safe, and welcoming environment that emphasizes the therapeutic relationship, where you can discuss your vulnerabilities and work towards self-empowerment. We heal when we allow someone to witness our pain, so I consider it a privilege when someone decides to work with me. I welcome open dialogue and discussion in our sessions. The human experience can be complex, so I take a down-to-earth and open approach while working alongside my clients. Together, we will find solutions to any obstacles you may be experiencing.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed, irritable, over stimulated, or simply out of balance emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually ? Have you been getting triggered way too easily, finding yourself emotionally depleted or “running on empty” and thinking “there must be a better way”? Are you struggling in relationship with yourself and/or those around you? Do you find yourself repeating unhealthy patterns of behavior or stuck in a situation that is no longer serving you? My passion is to help individuals not only find purpose but to live a balanced life in which you can thrive. I would love to help you on your growth journey!

Imagine what life would be like if you started to feel better. It could mean happier relationships, better school or work performance, or the motivation to do the things that you enjoy. I can help. From feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or relationship issues, I offer a judgement-free space for you to talk and heal. Together, we will explore what is causing the feelings that led you to seek therapy. We will work on healthy coping skills and symptom management techniques that can help you feel better again.

Do you feel lost, stressed, and like you are having a hard time taking control of your life? It might feel like you have nothing left to give or that you are too drained to take on any more. It can feel so defeating to look at life this way and have no idea why or how to make it better.

Over 20 years experience helping adults, children, and adolescents overcome obstacles to greater happiness and success. I bring out and support the special qualities of each and every person at their own level, and provide support, insight, understanding and practical solution focused guidance and assistance. I'm a great listener & easy to to talk to! Professional but not intimidating; easy-going, compassionate and understanding; I make counseling-therapy an engaging, pleasant, helpful experience, and provide strategies, tools, insight and advice for you to self-improve and feel relief.

Does this sound familiar? "Life just does not feel as great as I thought it would at this time. Some of my relationships feel unfulfilling, others challenging, and I find myself experiencing the same people, situations and outcomes over and over again. I feel sad and anxious that I won't ever be able to have the life I want. I am at a loss of what I am doing wrong or why this keeps happening. I wish there was a way to have the relationships I want, to truly feel happy, and to feel that I have the key to changing my life for the better."

The personal interaction of therapy is a powerful way to identify patterns of behavior and coping styles, and then take steps toward chosen areas for change. To pursue personal growth, our work recognizes the inter-relatedness of physical and emotional health. My work is based on diverse experiences with men and women, from teenagers to seniors, who face challenges including interpersonal problems, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, obsessions/compulsions, and death/bereavement. I previously worked in corporate finance, where I gained an understanding of the business world that often helps in our work.

Life can be difficult at times. Relationship problems, issues at work, financial or parenting concerns, or feeling stuck or dissatisfied with our life circumstances, all can contribute to depression, anxiety or self-medicating and substance abuse. Whether it is getting rid of your fear, understanding why you are so sad, changing patterns of repeated painful relationships, or eliminatining self-destructive behaviors, the happiness you want and deserve is actually within your control. My approach is solution oriented. My style is collaborative. Patients like the fact that I do more than just listen. I raise questions, get them thinking, make suggestions, and engage actively with clients.

Are you going through a difficult time? Perhaps you are feeling lost or stuck? Have you experienced a loss, a trauma, or feel ready to talk about a troubling situation or relationship?

Join me on a journey of self-exploration, understanding, and growth through a holistic lens. While providing an empathetic and nonjudgmental environment, I will work alongside you to create greater self-awareness and develop healthy ways to navigate life. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, depression, trauma, grief, alcohol & substance use, and people-pleasing tendencies. Whatever you are going through, I am here to help support, guide, and empower you in leading a more genuine and fulfilling life.

Have YOU ever..... 1) Struggled with slowing down, being present and grounded? 2) Been told “who to be, what to do, how to act?” 3) Found it difficult to listen or trust your own intuition? I have also been there. And, when all of the above began pulling me further out of alignment, I made a choice that I no longer wanted to live in a world where my truth and my voice were not being seen, heard, valued, or respected. With me in YOUR corner, you’ll be able to let go of any resistance, build a deeper understanding of your sense of self, rediscover who you are underneath it all, and learn how to relax and release any fears.

We have both male and female clinicians. Don't hesitate to ask! I believe being compassionate, open-minded, and culturally competent allows me to understand the stressors in a person's day-to-day life. I have an ample amount of experience with children and adolescents, as well as families, individuals, and couples. Yes, this process will take work, but I know that together, you can make it through anything whether it be anxiety, depression, or self-esteem. I use an eclectic approach to counseling which utilizes various theories and techniques. If something doesn't work for you, we will collaborate to find something that does.
