On the outside, no one would know...but on the inside there's a part of your life that feels wrong - maybe even downright awful. Are your marriage or personal relationships strained and disconnected? It's my philosophy that a lack of boundaries and assertiveness underlie many relationship issues. Are you making a career move and you don't know how to begin? These and many other stressful life issues can lead to anxiety and depression. I can help you cope. It's time for a change. I provide real and positive counseling, never hesitating to be direct when something is off, and for finding a smile even at the toughest times.

Creating change is difficult and takes effort. A person cannot be happy and content with their relationships with others, without first being happy and content with themselves. By looking at yourself, where you have been, where you are now and how you use what you have been given, whether environmental or biological, you can understand the changes in your behavior that are necessary to function in this world at an optimal level. A level where you feel good about yourself and enjoy healthy, fulfilling relationships.

I specialize in supporting young adults (18-30s) who are navigating life's stressors. The early adult years can be the most challenging of one’s life. We find ourselves adjusting to countless new experiences; navigating relationships, loneliness, school/careers, self-esteem/body image, and finding motivation and direction. I recognize that everyone needs support and act as a companion and a mentor. As a multiracial woman in the US, I recognize the strong desire and need to find your true identity and sense of belonging. Although I support folks from diverse backgrounds, I have specialized experience supporting the LGBTQ+ community.

Couples who begin to work with me are often arguing over trivial matters, wondering why gridlock is happening now when it never used to.The same issues keep coming up, and processing it only leaves you feeling exhausted and isolated. Nothing changes and the conflict involves pointing fingers, bringing up past wrongs, and tearing each other down. Money-related fights may add strain, perhaps alongside issues involving alcohol, pornography, or betrayal. Intimacy is lacking, leaving you both feeling unloved. What if you had the tools to fix your relationship? A playbook for the hard times but also a playbook to have way more good times?

Since beginning my counseling career, I have worked chiefly with children, adolescents, teenagers, and their families, to help people become more aware of their strengths, as well as their limitations - both individually and as a unit.

With a teamwork approach, we can start this process! We all have strengths within us - the fact that you are viewing this page right now tells me that. Reach out, so you can learn effective tools that can be used long-term, now!

A strong, unwanted emotion can feel like a weight, holding you back and getting in the way of the person you want to become. Over time, negative emotions seem to put limitations on your life - what you do, where you go - and your world feels a little smaller. You spend more time dwelling on painful thoughts that leave you feeling stuck, filled with self-doubt and insecurity. Perhaps sad thoughts about the past come back to haunt you, or persistent worries about the future overwhelm you. Perhaps the intensity of your emotions has cost you important relationships or job opportunities.
