Through relationships and connection, healing is possible. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I know how impactful it is to have someone that can listen and provide emotional support. I am dedicated to supporting people on their journey to mental and emotional wellness, as I believe that everyone has the power and ability to overcome challenges in life.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, fearful, or uncertain about how to move forward? I understand. I've felt those same feelings.

I believe we already have everything we need to live a life filled with contentment and satisfaction, we just need to rediscover the answers already within us. It is my ultimate goal to help my clients see themselves in this same positive and compassionate light.

Are you looking for help for yourself OR are you seeking couples counseling? I have several specialties & advanced training to help individuals & couples get out of their frustrating negative cycles.

Every day, you and your partner seem to drift further apart. It’s happened so slowly that you barely even realized it. Unspoken frustrations became lingering resentments that gradually destabilized the entire foundation of your relationship. After years of disloyalty, you can no longer trust each other. When you try to talk about how you’re feeling, it feels like your words go unheard, echoing in an empty chamber. Every attempt at finding some solution has come up short, and your interventions feel as useless as placing a Band-Aid on a broken limb. You know that something needs to change, but you’re out of ideas. It feels hopeless.

I take a person-centered approach to counseling, while utilizing tools from many other types of therapies. I feel it is important to get to the root of an issue by figuring out where it began, process through it to find healing and acceptance, and then use tools and techniques to make specific changes in thoughts and behaviors. I believe setting goals helps to track progress and can be a great motivator. I see counseling as a holistic process and integrate spiritual, physical, & mental aspects into the process, as you feel comfortable.

I believe everything happens for a reason and we all have a purpose. That being said, it's sometimes hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Keeping therapy both interactive and collaborative we embark together on this journey. My therapeutic approach is integrative, blending evidence-based treatments with client-centered and strength-based interventions.

I use psychological principals combined with lifestyle education (exercise, diet, nutrition) to empower you to start living the life you want. These techniques may be used for physical and emotional problems and may positively impact areas such as personal relationships, sports and business.
