Children and adolescents today deal with a host of issues such as coping with stress and anxiety, navigating peer and family relationships, expressing feelings appropriately and managing developmental disorders. Understanding how to best express feelings and control behaviors can lead to improved relationships at school and home and increase self-esteem. I strive to help their children and teens make positive personal and social changes that will benefit them over the course of their lives.

Over the past decade, I have had the privilege of working closely with individuals, witnessing firsthand how life's challenges and unexpected events can leave them feeling unsettled. It has become increasingly clear to me that when individuals truly know and understand themselves, they are better equipped to navigate the world with a greater sense of contentment and balance. As a dedicated Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master's Degree in Psychology, I specialize in mood disorders and have extensive experience in working with a variety of conditions, including Trauma, Depression, and Anxiety.

On the outside, you really seem to have it together. But inside, you feel lost, anxious, depressed, and stuck. Some days, just getting out of bed in the morning takes a huge effort. Maybe your relationships have started to suffer. Or you find yourself caught in a regular battle with your own thoughts and emotions. That nagging critical voice inside you is always judging you: “You’ll never be good enough.” You try to fight it, ignore it, distract from it — you waste countless hours scrolling through social media, spend longer hours at the office, or find other ways to escape. But it’s always there. And you are exhausted.

Transitions can be scary and unknown—being on your own for the first time, starting college, being an empty nester struggling to find purpose, being retired or going through a divorce and feeling a loss of identity, hurting from past trauma or struggling with your spiritual journey. Often, feeling lost can lead to depression, anxiety, a sense of not belonging and even mal-adaptive behaviors such as substance abuse or self-harm. We at Baobab Counseling Center are passionate about working with individuals to tap into their inner strength, desires and potential while identifying and overcoming those barriers that arise.

Have you ever felt like life's challenges are just too much to handle alone? I understand how overwhelming it can feel. My twenty-year journey as a licensed social worker has been fueled by my dedication to help. But what does helping really mean? Helping is being there for you in the moments you feel most alone, offering a compassionate ear and a steady hand. It is about empowering you with the tools and strategies to navigate life's hurdles. It's about collaborative problem-solving, where we work together to identify your strengths and leverage them to create meaningful change in your life.

It takes courage to ask for help. Every person big or small deserves to be supported and championed as they continue to work to grow. Parents often feel overwhelmed in knowing how to best provide support for those they love most: their children. Children are innately different from adults as they develop into their true selves. It is my honor to partner with parents to bridge this gap and provide space for their child to be supported, heard, and grow in confidence. I see clients of all ages including children, adolescents, parents, and adults. I also offer faith integrative Christian counseling upon client request only.
