“Probably the biggest insight… is that happiness is not just a place, but also a process. Happiness is an ongoing process of fresh challenges, and it takes the right attitudes and activities to continue to be happy.” –Ed Diener Wherever you are in your life currently and whatever you’ve faced in the past, my philosophy is to meet you right where you are at and work together to find the right tools to set you traveling down the path to a happier and more content future I believe in using an eclectic approach in counseling because one size does not fit all.
Everyone is different and individual and counseling should be designed for each individual, working together to meet you where you are and explore the best ways to help you attain your goals. I’m open to clients of all ages and specialize in adolescents/young adults, military members and their families and people who have experienced trauma in their lives.
If you are struggling with anxiety, depression or if life has just gotten overwhelming for you, we can work together to uncover new ways to cope with the stressors of life. You are not alone in whatever you may be going through. Reaching out for support is the first step. I look forward to speaking with you and joining you on your journey.
