Feeling stuck? Trying to get back the focus, direction, and passion in life? In an environment free of judgment and rich in support, I believe it is important to utilize my client’s strengths to help empower the change process. By identifying values and specific goals, together we create a path to lead us in the desired direction. With my background in the education field, I have seen how children, as well as, adults struggle with the routine of the day when there is something heavy on their mind. I strive to help my clients identify how to remove this heaviness, and lead the life they have been wanting.

Are you feeling exhausted? Stressed? Lonely? Noticing that worry and sadness are consuming your thoughts? Feeling defeated as you struggle in your relationships or to find meaning in life? Trying to balance work and parenting? It can all begin to feel overwhelming and you are unsure where to turn for help....You are not alone.

Feeling wrecked with worry or sadness on the inside, while trying to remain "happy" on the outside? The power of therapy can remove that mask once and for all. If you can't shake this nudging feeling that something isn't right, while attempting to juggle all of the responsibilities you have; it's time. It's the greatest work of this lifetime to take a deep dive and explore things that might seem scary or just easier to avoid. You are exactly where you need to be, this is the first step. Go for it!

As a fully Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I am committed to walk along side you during your exploration of thoughts, emotions, behaviors and experiences that may be creating barriers towards personal happiness and well-being. I consider it a privilege to be part of your journey towards mental wellness. ​ During my 37 years working in the business sector, I facilitated teams, providing assistance in building communication and conflict management skills. I then took my corporate and life experiences into the field of counseling where I now specialize in addiction, adjustment issues, depression and anxiety.

I approach the therapeutic relationship from a client-centered lens with an integrative treatment approach. This means that I work with each client to develop a unique treatment plan to address their specific needs. I do not utilize a one size fits all approach and I believe that the client is just as important in this process as the therapist is. I examine all aspects of a client’s perspective including the systems that impact them. Treating the whole person is an important aspect for me in my therapeutic engagement with clients. I believe that every person has value and is worthy of kindness.

The human experience is full of highs and lows and everything in between. It makes sense that just like our physical bodies can benefit from care from time to time, so can our minds. You don’t have to do it by yourself or figure it all out at once. My goal is to create a space that provides safe, intentional, non-judgmental care as you or your child face some of those challenging moments. My role is to see, hear, and care about you and your family, to come alongside my clients and walk with them for a part of their journey. It’s my honor to be a part of that process.

I believe counseling can be a life changing experience that can improve your quality of life. I understand that taking that first step toward counseling can feel overwhelming. That's why I'm here to make it as comfortable and welcoming as possible for you.

Are you struggling with racing or distorted thoughts? Has that impacted your relationships with others or even the way you see yourself? I believe that our past experiences impact our present lives, which can leave us feeling out of alignment with our true selves.

Most people seek counseling when they have exhausted all efforts at making their pain go away, or in changing the dynamics of an important relationship, or in making a successful life change or transition.
