Have you found yourself in a place where you have followed all of the rules, done the things that you were taught to do, and found yourself in the reality of not feeling happy or fulfilled? Have you strived for the best and achieved a family, home, job—and yet there is still something that is not good enough? You have made the decision to begin looking into these discrepancies, and that little nudge is your inner knowing that something is off. You’re ready to listen to your needs, wants, and desires but putting them into action is daunting. I believe that by getting quiet and tapping into our inner wisdom, healing and growth occur.

When we're feeling overwhelmed with family and/or career responsibilities, we feel we should just be able to “handle” it alone.
"Mental health isn't a thing. Talking about feelings and experiences isn't going to help. Things will get better by just putting my head down and powering through. I'm strong, self-reliant, and I don't need any help. I'll be fine just the way I am." These are all valid thoughts and feelings for an individual to have and many people believe these statements are true. Stereotypically, men especially, fall into these thought patterns. The numbers reflect this, approximately 30% vs 70% of those seeking counseling are men vs women. We are taught men don't have feelings and if they do they sure as hell don't talk to anybody about them.

It would be hard to argue that our lives haven't been a lot more complicated over the last few years. Whether you are a child or teen dealing with peer pressure or the stressors at school, a stay at home parent trying to manage everyones busy schedules, a working professional balancing family life and the stress a job can bring, a single or divorced parent struggling to get through each day, a young adult looking for direction in life, or part of a family trying to raise your kids in this increasingly complex world, I have extensive experience in all of these areas. I am committed to helping you work through these challenges.

Young adulthood can be one of the most challenging times of life. From the demands of school/work, to relationships and friendships – there’s a lot to juggle. All of this can leave you feeling anxious and depressed. Life’s challenges can feel impossible to navigate on your own. Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out, you get blindsided. Maybe it’s a breakup. Maybe it’s the loss of a job. Maybe you begin to question your own values, your path in life, or realize you no longer have things in common with the people you once knew. Whatever your struggle may be, I want you to know that I’ve been there and that there is hope.

I offer a very personalized approach to counseling. I believe in the power of a person's story and how that story has brought them to where they are at presently. I work from an integrated person-centered approach. One size/technique does NOT fit all in counseling. Moreover, I'm a believer in the therapeutic relationship being the key ingredient to effective therapy. I work with issues such as: grief, depression, anxiety, chronic-pain, panic, school issues and much more. Counseling is not the easy way through a life concern; it takes work and commitment. I promise to offer a safe, non-judgmental space for self-exploration.

I’m a curious and passionate counselor with a special interest in helping my clients uncover the 'whys' in life. If you’ve ever wondered why you react a certain way, behave a certain way, or even view something a certain way, you have also wondered about the same 'whys'. Uncovering each person’s 'whys' and figuring out the value that knowledge has is specific to each individual, but understanding ourselves and our behaviors with more clarity is a priceless endeavor for everyone. If you find yourself frustrated with some of your own behaviors and seeking a change, that's where I come in!

Depression can seem scary and lonely. Anxiety may prevent you from having new experiences. Your past trauma may be impacting your ability to trust others. It may be hard for you to convey your emotions or thoughts. My goal is to help individuals not fear past experiences and current emotional states but rather learn from them. Struggling with mental health can be isolating and I would like to provide you with a nonjudgmental, safe-space to help you overcome your struggles while learning tools to help you grow and heal. I also have experience helping couples to communicate more effectively and reestablish intimacy.

Career Counseling Therapists
How do I know if I need career counseling?
Determining whether a career counselor is needed involves assessing one's current career and identifying what changes can be made to improve one's overall quality of life. In particular, feelings of loss of motivation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, procrastination, or ongoing levels of high stress can all be indicative of a need for career-related counseling. In addition, individuals changing jobs may want the decision-making support or self-reflection opportunities provided by a career counselor.
Who can benefit from career counseling?
Anyone can benefit from the self-reflection, skill development, and stress management techniques that career counseling can provide. However, individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out with their current job and individuals considering a major career change may particularly benefit from career counseling to improve their wellbeing. Additionally, individuals who are facing issues in their current job, such as coworker relationship challenges or not meeting performance goals, may benefit from the perspective that a career counselor can provide. College-age or young professionals may also uniquely benefit from career counseling as they make key decisions surrounding education and job training that will impact their career trajectory.
How long does career counseling typically last?
The length of career counseling can vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual and what type of support they are seeking. Career coaching or advising services—which serve clients in a specific, goal-oriented capacity—often last for a shorter duration and are sometimes only a single session or a few sessions in length. In contrast, career counseling as part of a more integrative therapeutic relationship with a counselor may last longer, particularly if the issues faced by the client are longstanding and/or more complex in nature; in such cases, individuals may expect therapy to last multiple months or longer.
How to prepare for career counseling?
Clients can prepare for career counseling sessions by outlining the specific topics they would like to address with the counselor, such as current job challenges or hopes for the future of their career. Compiling one's thoughts on such topics often requires reflection on one's career and future goals, which in itself can be beneficial for session preparation. Clients may also want to put together a list of questions they would like to ask the counselor, particularly if the career counselor they are seeing has particular expertise in a given career area. Conducting research into potential future jobs, training opportunities, or support resources in one's area may also help clients prepare for career counseling by providing them with a background of what resources are available in their area.
