Life, as we know it, can be challenging. Trying to balance work, family, friends and simply "alone" time can seem daunting and rendering us powerless. We continue to push through life in spite of these challenges until one day you have finally run out of gas. Many of us are feeling the pinch of burnout and having support and guidance to help identify these pitfalls are vital to our wellbeing. Just being able to find our "voice" can be a journey that can lead to resilience. As an Industrial & Organizational psychologist, I have a keen understanding about these issues and use effective ways to help one navigate through these trials.

Please note - I am currently accepting clients, but have limited availability. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I work collaboratively with my clients to support them in their individual process of self-exploration and healing. Counseling offers an opportunity to take a step back and explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a safe, supportive environment. It is an active process where past and present life experiences can be discussed, choices can be evaluated, and skills can be learned and practiced. I believe a positive counseling relationship is critical for progress and growth.

A part of you wants to reach out for support and a part of you doesn’t. This is totally understandable because finding the “right fit” with a therapist in this day and age seems like more work then you have time for, and can also be anxiety provoking. Often times making a human connection can be challenging especially with a therapist. I firmly believe that the therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone to any therapy work. I promise you that I am committed to work hard at establishing that relationship. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process where I come alongside where you are.

Everyone has a story, and quite often our stories contain certain events and relationships that lead us to unwanted ways of living and coping to over come the pain and missing elements. There is a reason why we do what we do. Yet, there is hope for transformation no matter how dysfunctional and longstanding our issues may seem. I have a passion to help individuals, teens, and families experience wholeness and freedom.

Do you feel alone, unheard, unseen? Do you find yourself feeling empty or unsettled? I want you to know that’s not how you have to live and you can feel full of life and with purpose and direction again. When we think of trauma we often think of this big, violent event that has taken place in someone’s life. But trauma doesn’t always present itself in that form and it doesn’t look the same for every single person. An event becomes traumatic based the degree of distress our body and mind responds to it. No matter the type of threat or event, if life feels like a big struggle, you're not alone. You can have peace and be fulfilled.
