Looking for a therapist can be a daunting process. I am here to ease the difficulty and offer hope in your search. I will answer questions you most likely have about therapy and maybe some you didn’t know you had. Since there are no two people or situations exactly alike, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. In our initial phone consultation, I will seek to understand your needs and goals, and we’ll discuss a personalized treatment direction for you and your unique circumstances.

Emotional Support, Personal Growth, Trauma/Crisis, Mental Health Concerns, Cultural/Identity issues, and Relationship (Family/Marital/Friends) Issues.

I will spend time getting to know you and helping you determine exactly what your goals are for this service before diving in.

Do you find yourself stuck doing or thinking things that don't serve you? Whether that's at work, at home with your partner or children, or on your own, despite your best efforts, it isn't getting better. The world is flooded with ideas on self-help and coping with stress, which often shines a bright light how things aren't working. If you've felt overwhelmed by the circumstances of your life, the counselors at Live Well are here to help you find lasting resolution to the issues that keep you stuck. We move beyond coping with hard things, to the root, so you can experience deep healing, & live the rich life you are worthy of.

I assist my clients in resolving the blocks that prevent them from moving forward in their lives. I believe clients have their own best solutions, and the counseling process brings these solutions to life, allowing clients to achieve their goals.

My ideal client is a teen, adult or couple who is self aware, motivated, and is either curious or committed to doing the work necessary to start their healing journey. They may be someone who has learned a behavior to cope with trauma, like substance use or an eating disorder for example, and are discovering that tool is no longer serving them. Perhaps they notice the way they have been living is in alignment with someone else's values rather than their own. My goal as a therapist is to bring to their attention ideas and feedback that provides a new perspective that guides my clients to a more empowered way of life.

I am a Licensed Social Work Candidate committed to helping individuals, couples, and families learn how to build healthier relationships within themselves as well as with one another.

My treatment modalities are ACT, CBT, Mindfulness, Stress management, Coping and Communication skills, Motivational interviewing, and trauma informed care.

Dr. BE connects well with people who you might not traditionally associate with counseling services to guide them through their struggles and life challenges. That drive to "have it all" that so many professionals demonstrate can also make it hard to ask for help at times when it's needed most. With both a unique "no BS" attitude and a demeanor that's connectable, Dr. BE has become a valuable asset for clients who typically didn't expect to find therapy beneficial.

Do you feel like you are going through the motions of life but like something is missing? Are you not able to live as your true authentic self. Are things like: past traumas, environments, relationships keeping you stuck in repeating toxic patterns and cycles? You can live free of this. I believe each person is born with individual strengths and resiliency . Living freely with your authentic self can shift cycles that keep us stuck. Are you ready to let go and fully bloom? Please contact me to get started today on your path to bloom.
