Thank you for taking time to consider counseling. You do not have to tackle this life alone! I believe that every person has value and purpose. We are all made to be great in our own way. When life does not work out the way we intended, whether it is due to addiction, depression/anxiety, or any other life transitions, you have the opportunity to be the greatest version of you in how you respond to each circumstance/situation.

Can I share something with you? Life is hard! You're exhausted to get out of bed after staying up last night nervous. You look in the mirror in disgust at what you see. Bullies at school are no fun and hurt bad. You feel unappreciated and lost. You may be thinking "why even care?" and can later turn to "I dont care." You feel like you're a burden to friends and family. You wonder why your child has a hard time listening at school or having tantrums at home. You want emotional support from your partner. You want the pain and nightmare to go away. I'm telling you, life is hard, but doesn't have to be for long.

I work to create a safe, confidential, genuine, and non-judgmental setting, which is essential for establishing a healthy therapeutic relationship. When clients can experience a sense of unconditional positive regard from their therapist, they will be more apt to be vested in the therapeutic process. Part of my job as a therapist is to actively listen to what you are saying and not saying, during each session. Through active listening, I can help you explore the underlying issues of your experience as well as identify your personal strengths. I utilize a myriad of therapeutic approaches in meeting clients' individual therapeutic goals, needs, and styles. Such as, 'talk' therapy, humanistic, cognitive-behavioral therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, play therapy, and sand tray therapy, etc. I promote increased self-awareness and actualization, which develops emotional, physical, and spiritual balance. This works towards reducing many sources of conflict in one's life.

Seeking help is not always easy. Many people grew up under the assumption that emotions and feelings are not outwardly discussed or displayed; others, have recognized the stigma that surrounds mental health issues. Fear of being labeled as mentally ill, may cause a negative impact on personal and professional goals; which is a common misconception in modern society. Such unhealthy thought patterns have led to ongoing, systemic problems in today's general populous. Courage to seek help is the first step to change. Change allows a fresh start and a different perspective on life.

Not only do I provide a safe space, but also an authentic approach that intertwines theories and skills that are evidenced based and appropriate for meeting self and life goals.

My ideal client is someone who is looking for support with taking the next step in their lives. They are looking for someone to help provide them the tools to take that step and support them in accomplishing their goals.
