Many people were taught early on that emotions and feelings should not be outwardly discussed or displayed; others become aware of the stigma surrounding mental health issues as they mature. This can lead to a fear of being labeled as mentally ill, which often serves as an obstacle to seeking therapy. Unhealthy thought patterns surrounding mental health have led to ongoing, systemic problems that create a lack of public awareness and prioritization of mental health issues. However, change can occur on the individual level once a person makes the courageous decision to seek out counseling, which can provide them with a fresh start.

No matter the problem, I am here to help you navigate through life's difficulties and guide you to your own understanding. My therapeutic approach is quite eclectic. I have a variety of experience in depression, anxiety, anger management, ADHD, behavioral issues, relationship and family issues. I have worked with adults, children and adolescents.

“Does life really have to be this hard?” For those of us who can’t seem to get out of our own heads, this is life’s big question.
