I enjoy working with a wide range of people but I have a heart for teenagers, college students, and young adults. My speciality is centered around clients who seem to be managing well on the outside but are struggling internally. They often come to me seeking strategies to overcome anxiety, reduce self-doubt, manage the emotional ups and downs of change, and strengthen the relationships around them. I understand the most effective therapy is built on the authentic, meaningful connection that we co-create. We will collaborate to identify what you want for yourself and how to get there one step at a time.

I am passionate about serving people from all walks of life, and as an Army veteran I have worked extensively with the military community.

Sometimes we all may feel anxious or depressed but cannot identify the reasons. Other times we might experience mood swings, or have suffered trauma as children, adolescents, young adults and even abused substances to dull the senses. During these times, a therapist can offer you insight into your situations that you may not see. As a partnership, therapist and patient collaborate on goals the patient wishes to strive for, while the therapists skillfully uses tools, experiential techniques, exercises to help affect the change patients seeks.

Life's been throwing a lot at you, and it feels like there's never a moment to catch your breath. I’m here to support you as you slow down, breathe, and find the space to process your life.

You feel like you’ve grown apart. It’s almost like you’re living two separate lives - and you used to be so close. Now you argue about the same things over and over again. It's so hard to communicate. It seems like you can’t ever get this person you fell in love with to hear you anymore. You never expected to feel so much pain when you first fell in love. But, you do. And you don’t want to feel it anymore. Neither of you do. You both know something has to change. And you cant wait anymore. It's time to do something.

Have you ever thought, "How did I end up here?" Life has a way of giving us challenges we never could have imagined. Life's hard! You may feel you have been pushed past your breaking point, BUT there's good news... You're NOT broken, NOT worthless, and definitely NOT alone. What if I told you the strength to take control of this challenge is already inside you? You've found my profile, which says that you've already done something very brave.

Balancing can be hard to do when your foundation seems unstable. I would like to help you get back on solid ground. I make it a point to learn from every individual how the issue has affected their life. I believe each client needs to be listened to as they explain their issue. I assist them in setting reachable goals to work towards to find the solution. I encourage individuals to journal and bring questions into the session. This is where we begin to analyze and untangle some of the uncomfortable feelings. Many of my clients appreciate this time to learn more about themselves and open up about their thoughts and feelings.

There are times when unexpected challenges, loss and seemingly ever-higher expectations overwhelm us. Unwanted repetitive thoughts may disrupt our sleep. We may isolate from friends and activities we previously enjoyed. We may experience dullness and a lack of energy. Counseling can help to ease the burden of life's painful and challenging circumstances. As a counselor, I appreciate the courage it takes to ask for help.
