Navigating life can feel tough! It can seem as though with every moment life keeps changing. It seems as though you can't catch a break. The loss of a dream, a friendship, the death of a loved one. Wondering how will I ever go on? The feelings of deep sorrow take over and it is hard to comprehend the many changes life keeps bringing. Feelings of despair and being overwhelmed creep in like a theif in the night. It can feel unbearable to continue on. Thoughts start to swarm your mind and you begin to wonder if life will ever get better.

Feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, or depressed? Going through a significant life change or relationship issue? Maybe a problem has become so big that you just can't seem to figure out what to do. It is OK to not have all the answers. Sometimes we need support from others to get through tough times. But there is no need to prolong suffering by trying cope with negative situations or emotions alone. Help is possible. You deserve to feel as good as you possibly can so you can live the life you are meant to lead - even if you aren't sure what exactly that is!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I transitioned into counseling after spending over 10 years in education. As a classroom instructor and as a tutor, I saw how much outside issues affected my students, whether they were in kindergarten or college. My background definitely shapes the way I work with my clients. I take into account the how people are shaped by their experiences, always keeping in mind that clients are doing the best they can. My job as a counselor is not to "fix" my clients-it's to provide a safe space to explore their concerns and help them learn to "do better."

Life is hard and so is the journey that you are currently walking through. It is okay to let people in. It is okay to trust a few people and let them walk with you through whatever season of life it is that you are going through. You do not have to be alone in your life transition, anxiety, grief, relationship, or marriage struggles. As you take this step into counseling, let me journey through this season of healing, growth, exploration and understanding together with you. You will have a judgement free and safe space to come and talk/work through past hurts, current struggles, and learn about yourself and what makes you tick.

Being a teen or young adult right now is very different then being one even just a few years ago. My passion is working with young people to build skills whether social or academic that help bring calm, confidence, and peace into their lives. My goal is to empower young people to self-advocate and use their personal strengths to create a life that is full of joy and self-acceptance. My clients are unique in regard to their interests, abilities, personalities, and skill set. Life is not about competition or comparison (no matter what anyone says). We all make mistakes, let's learn from them together!
