Are you an adult who is living with anxiety or depression? Are you seeking to find common ground in your relationships? There is hope, there are solutions, you can make it through this, and I'm here to help. I help clients: improve their communication skills, overcome their anger issues, overcome trauma, unresolved family conflict, improve the connection and intimacy between their partners, and overcome challenges related to substance abuse. Offering a wide range of support for adults, or families who have concerns about their emotional, behavioral, or adjustment problems.

I have over 10 years experience working in the mental health field with individuals, couples, and families. The area's of research and treatment I find most interesting are with adults who may be living with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, family issues, relationship difficulties, or substance abuse challenges.
The thing I like most about counseling is the journey I get to take with each individual, exploring their lives and offering insight to help them discover the Light, the Hope, or God that already exists in them. It's never too late to get back up and live the life you deserve. I look forward to connecting with you and your family!
