“I want to hear each client's pain points empathically; to understand where they want more balance in their lives; and to support them to enhance their self-regulation, adaptability, and resilience.” The Wellness Within approach to counseling is rooted in the belief that mental health is a process we keep tending, not a static state or final destination.

In an empathic, non-judgmental, and relational manner, I have served adolescents and adults for over 30 years in both clinical and academic settings.
My passion is to help adolescents, adults, and families develop the social and emotional awareness needed to thrive.

I can help those obstacles become opportunities for growth and success through insight, practice, and collaboration.

My goal is to help each client I work with feel empowered to be an active part of their own healing. I believe that my job is to create a safe space for clients to explore how to use many of their own strengths to get back on track when life has become overwhelming. I focus on teaching skills to bring some immediate relief while also addressing the underlying issues that are contributing to unhelpful patterns that have become part of the problem. I have a practical style that incorporates much warmth and compassion for each person's journey.

Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change."- Jim Rohn. People seek counseling when their emotional pain becomes too much to bear on their own and they want to be free of it. How we deal with life's pain defines who we are. While we don't choose to undergo misfortune, we do decide how we react to those events. I have found that negative experiences can also trigger something positive within us. Crisis offers opportunity for change, and pain can be the catalyst for transformation.

Life is rarely the "should be", always-thought-it-would-be one we imagined. We try lots of things that don't work. I know what that's like.

By recognizing and defining a problem, we find clues to what's needed to move forward. It's not easy, but it is so worth it! So make the most of your pain. Let it wake you up to a better future.
