As a Master’s level clinician I strive to help clients improve their lives and learn new skills, techniques, ways of viewing themselves, and the world around them in a way that may reduce pain and suffering. I frequently use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) to help empower and guide individuals in their healing journey. I believe we are all capable of finding relief, strength, and a new way of perceiving ourselves and our environment, despite the difficult and unique challenges we face.

I believe you possess the potential for positive change! Together we will work on overcoming anxiety, depression, trauma, broken relationship patterns, dysfunctional behaviors, and destructive false beliefs that have kept you stuck (I’m stupid...I’m ugly... I’m powerless...etc). If you are ready to embark on your healing journey - Let’s talk! While we can can't change the past, we can change destructive beliefs resulting from old hurts, traumas, and unmet childhood needs. Get ready to finally accept and love yourself and enjoy healthy, authentic relationships!

And who knows but that you have come to your position for such a time as this. -Esther 4:14 We are created to be in community and we were created at this time and in this place for a reason. While there are times when relationships need to end, many times we are just caught up in bad patterns that we have the power to change. When we change our communication patterns, learn to create and hold to boundaries, and learn to regulate our nervous systems we are more available to one another.

Most of us act with the best of intentions and don’t always get the results we were expecting. As a counselor, my role is not to tell a client what to do, but rather to help clients examine what their goals are, different ways goals can be achieved, and to provide supportive and honest feedback through a therapeutic relationship. I have lived in and around very diverse communities throughout my life, and I take pride in understanding and honoring everyone’s unique culture and beliefs.

Research shows that joy is the hardest human emotion to truly experience. Challenges with depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, low self-esteem, relationships or many other things, hold us back from fully experiencing these moments of joy in life. Whenever you may be at in your journey, your choice in seeking help is one of bravery. My goal is to partner with you to better understand your present circumstances, create meaningful goals and continue to provide support and hope to you along the way.
