I enjoy working with clients in a variety of formats,including individually,couples,families and children. I am trained in EMDR and play therapy. Most recently I have been trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). ART uses imagery rescripting and memory reconsolidation to alter negative emotions and sensations associated with pain or trauma,in as few as 1-5 sessions. I have experience helping clients with a variety of issues such as depression,anxiety,marriage,self-esteem and divorce.

I work with those suffering from alcoholism and addiction, codependent relationships, and those seeking spirituality. The goal is to be free from that addictive relationship and form new healthy relationships. Professional literature demonstrates most successful results in treating addiction/alcoholism comes from working in groups with other alcoholics/addicts. However, many struggle with anxiety in group settings and need individual attention before feeling comfortable in a group. I can help. I also have training with Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) and seeking a PhD in Quantum Metaphysics.

Let’s be honest, living peacefully and happily can feel impossible. Life can be filled with shame, grief, loneliness, and feeling unworthy. There are some days that the hardest decision we make is to start the day. On those days, positive thinking just isn’t enough. People want to have a safe space to feel their emotions without feeling consumed by them. To live a guilt-free, happy, shameless life. As your therapist, I can help with that.

A compass is a tool used for guidance and direction. It is vital in helping someone find their way when they are lost or trying to get to their destination. Much like a compass, counseling can be an important tool for "direction" through a variety of difficult situations. As a therapist, my goal is to assist you in healthy ways to change behaviors that may be contributing to your problems. If you are looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you’re are ready to move in a new direction in your life. I look forward working with you to achieve your goals.

Welcome! Although social media posts often appear happy and fun, the truth is that many young adults are struggling to adapt during this period of their lives. Transitions are hard! I believe that with proper tools and support everyone is capable of thriving! Thrive: to grow or develop in a healthy or vigorous way.

Sometimes the small things make the biggest difference and the largest challenges are not so big in perspective. I believe that participating in counseling can provide that perspective and be a most remarkable and rewarding journey. The counseling process is not always easy and can be quite difficult. Realizing this, I always feel so honored when my clients are willing to include me on their journey. I enjoy working with families and children as they determine who they want to become and are willing to do whatever necessary to make it happen.

Life can feel overwhelming sometimes. It could be losing a loved one, a job or some other major life change. Maybe there’s conflict within your family or other close relationships. Sometimes you just feel sad, lonely, or confused about what to do next. And for others, there is something devastating from the past that feels impossible to move beyond. This is when counseling can help. It’s important to realize that you’re not alone and that help can be found, you just have to be willing to take that first scary step in asking for it.

I strives to help each clients overcome the obstacles that are depriving them from living the abundant life we were created for.
