Life can sometimes become overwhelming. I am dedicated to helping you find healthy ways to cope with what you are experiencing as well as provide the emotional support and validation you may be lacking. I do not judge your feelings, thoughts, lifestyle, or any part of who you are or how you identify. My hope is that through counseling you will identify your strengths, heal, and develop the tools you need to survive and thrive in this sometimes chaotic world. I provide a safe space for you to explore your feelings and seek solutions to the issue you are facing.

Creating change is about embracing your future, not beating yourself (or others) up over the past. As a therapist, I focus on helping you figure out what "better" looks like and identifying the quickest route to get us there. Once we have that identified, I'll act as counselor, coach and traveling companion as you journey down that road. I'll be a fresh set of eyes that helps you figure out when you're being too hard on yourself and when you need to take a hard look in the mirror.

I have been in mental health since 1995. I became licensed as a therapist in 2007 and achieved terminal licensure in 2009 as an LPC. I have experience with a diverse range of mental health issues. I understand the relevance of our past but focus on where you are in the present and what is impacting you today. I take a solution-focused, strengths-based, and reality-oriented approach to problems, seeking ways to improve people’s current issues. My experience has taught me to actively listen and quickly identify areas of concern to find solutions. I consider myself similar to a mechanic; I diagnose a problem and process ways to fix it.

I am dedicated to providing a safe and confidential environment for patients to connect with self and address any issues that inhibit growth. I believe that healthy relationships with self and others will allow an individual to build a realistic picture of life and assist in moving through challenges. Years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly population in acute, long-term, residential, and outpatient settings has enabled me to obtain a vast understanding of resources available and knowledge of referral sources for additional treatment if needed.

I often come into contact with people that have never felt comfortable expressing their emotions or in asking for help. If you are struggling with a specific problem or if you just need a safe space to open up, then you've come to the right place. I have worked in many different settings (intensive residential, day treatment, crisis intervention, court systems, and outpatient) and with varying ages of clients, from young children to post retirement adults.

***WE ARE NOW ACCEPTING CLIENTS TO OUR WAITLIST ONLY*** Your story is unique, and you deserve a therapist who will honor your experience. You’ve likely had painful, tough experiences, and you've probably tried to forget them. But no matter how hard you try, they keeps coming back up- in your brain, in your body, in your relationships. Hard things will be thrown our way, that's a fact of life, but what has happened doesn’t have to weigh you down any longer. Part of being human is having struggles, but part of being human is overcoming those struggles and finding joy and freedom again. I want to help YOU find that freedom!

We want our lives to be different, but this requires change, but change can be scary. Most people want to change, but don't know what this means, and how hard they imagine it will be. I believe that most people make choices based on their emotions. What happens when these emotions don't reflect the reality of your circumstances? Emotions can be deceptive. The idea is, to change how you feel you must first change how you think. "Be transformed through the renewing of your mind." I love working with individuals who are motivated to change how they see themselves and the world around them.
