My outlook on life is that we are all on a journey. Some people move faster than others. Some need a helping hand along the way; but we can all arrive to where we are going, where we want to be…every single one of us. I am here to help motivate when you lack motivation. I am here to listen when you feel unheard. I am here to push when you feel weak, or pull when you don’t feel strong enough. I’m also here to sit with you when you aren’t ready or feel unable to make a decision. I am here at your pace.

All of my clients are the best! They come to see me with all types of issues and I enjoy treating each client as an individual. I treat many different types of clients with mutual respect and empathy. I feel blessed to be with clients on their journey whatever that may be.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), I specialize in the use of cognitive-behavioral therapy, and focus on working collaboratively with clients to create lasting change in their lives. Whether it’s counseling for depression, anxiety, substance abuse, family therapy, or Christian counseling, I empower clients by using their strengths to evaluate areas of improvement.

Are you facing a change of life event such as, getting married, having a baby, making a career change or getting to that next level of personal development? Are you facing depression, anxiety or some other mental health challenge that is affecting the way you function in life? Whether it be adjusting to a new living arrangement such as blending families, anger management or the need for psychoeducation, I am your culturally competent therapist.

A therapist job is to deepen their client’s understanding of their dilemma or trauma, not to “fix” it for the client! The client must do their own work! Dealing with childhood traumas, mother wounds and overall the hardships of life.

My overarching goal for any of my clients is to have an improved life, in whatever area that they are seeking to manage and improve.

I discover objectively what is the issue, applying the best treatment for abuse, aging, alcohol/substance use, anger, anxiety, attention deficit, autism spectrum disorders, bereavement, cancer, career consultation, coping, criminal charges, custody, delinquency, dementia, depression, divorce, DUI, dyslexia, hyperactivity, hypnosis, individualized education plans, insomnia, job loss, learning disability, lower productivity, neuropsychological exams, panic attacks, parenting, personal injury, personality tests, post automobile accident, relationships, stress, trauma, TBI, underachievement, vocational guidance, workers compensation.

I seek clients who are open to discovering their story and how it led them to their current circumstance. I am best able to nurture a relationship with a client who is aware of their reason for seeking support and is comfortable with a direct perspective to realizing their goals. My approach to working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families is centered on the philosophy that we are experiencing components of our personal story daily. When we conclude a chapter, it can impact the next chapter. By understanding our experiences and crafting our next steps, we can shape our story.

All therapy starts with collaboration at it's core. Seeking therapy takes a great deal of courage and we commend you for considering therapy as a tool for self-exploration and growth. Many find that building a supportive and interactive relationship with their therapist contributes to the overall effectiveness of therapy. We offer a safe and non-judgmental environment, with a commitment to placing the highest priority on your well-being. Our services are offered to adults and teens, specializing in difficulties related to: stress, coping with life's changes, anxiety, trauma, identity, body image, self-esteem, and LGBTQ+.

I provide a judgement free place to find your way & figure it out. Commitment to my clients begins with a belief in the ability of individuals to advocate for themselves & choose their own path. You decide how you want to live your life. Our instincts, emotions & feelings are a gift; they are the natural barometer for navigating our lives. Often we misinterpret or fear those emotions & fall into a holding pattern as to how to move forward. We all get stuck. Let me help you move forward. I have extensive experience working with children (ages 3-17), families and adults.

Or are there moments when you feel down, and it never goes away?
