Life experiences can sometimes leave us feeling as though we are presented with something too challenging or difficult to face. We can feel lost, overwhelmed, and unsure. So we can turn to coping mechanisms that might help us in the moment but aren't realistic long-term. Everyone needs help from time to time. I believe in empowering my clients to gain the tools and self-awareness they need in order to achieve more peace and serenity in their lives.

I am a counselor who specializes in helping clients achieve their goals. I offer a judgment-free, unconventional approach to counseling as I believe therapy should be tailored to the person asking for help. I firmly believe everyone does things in their own unique way and time so honing in on self-identified strengths assists me with helping clients improve upon what they may consider their "challenges". I also assist my clients with getting in tune with those hidden strengths they may be unaware of. The hardest part of therapy is getting started. Book a session and take a chance. It is the only way to be the change you wish to see.

Living life on life's terms is rough. Often we hit a bump in the road for various reasons: broken relationships, declining health, depression, unresolved grief, drugs, or we are dissatisfied with our lives, and we feel that we deserve better. We don't want to be judged, but enough is enough, and we need to talk about it before we act out about it. If this is you or someone you know, then the staff at the Evolve Center can help. We have a diverse staff of counselors, social workers, coaches, and medical practitioners ready to help. Call us today for a free and confidential consultation.
