I approach counseling from a holistic perspective, taking into consideration the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of each client. I believe that a safe, therapeutic environment and strong rapport are critical to growth and healing. I consider counseling as a collaborative journey, respecting that the client is the expert of their own life. As such, I work together with my clients in developing goals that meet each client's specific needs.

This past year challenged us in many ways, causing a lot of stress and pain for everyone. You may have felt a great deal of anxiety from the constant threat of a pandemic. Perhaps you are feeling the effects of depression from being cut off and isolated from loved ones. Maybe you were already dealing with difficult circumstances before the beginning of the pandemic, and the events of last year only made things worse. Whatever circumstances you find yourself in, there is still hope.

Today's world is complicated and confusing. In addition to the perennial struggle for a healthy balance between work and home life, now we also have to contend with social media, a constant barrage of negative news, post-pandemic concerns, and overwhelming societal change. But amazing things happen when we open our hearts and our minds to each other and share honestly in a trusting and loving environment. I believe in listening without judgement, uniting in empathy, and helping clients build upon their strengths and resiliencies so they can rediscover joy.

Life brings with it many challenges. Anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger are all to common. Feelings of isolation from the help you need. Maybe you are a military service member or a local first responder who feels forgotten by those whom you served. Maybe you feel lost in life and need a place to find relief. Whoever you are, I desire to help.

Life can be a struggle. Maybe you’re balancing multiple demands: parenthood, relationship, career, and you feel constantly pulled in different directions. As the demands increase, time for yourself decreases and you find yourself full of worry and defeating thoughts such as: “I can't handle this” “what will I do?”; “I’m not good enough”. Self doubt and insecurity set in and daily tasks may feel like they’re more difficult to get through. You may feel exhausted but these running thoughts keep you up at night. Or maybe you’ve felt this way for a while, and you’re beginning to wonder if you will ever feel content again.

Combining a number of evidenced-based and complementary therapeutic approaches, I work with clients to achieve a greater sense of awareness, empowerment, and develop better solutions and strategies to resolve their intrapersonal and interpersonal issues and problems. I believe that, as people become more aware and accepting of themselves, they are more capable of finding peace and contentment in their lives. Together we will work to identify goals, explore areas where you feel stuck or lost, approach it in a way that feels safe and manageable, and strive to improve resiliency, adaptability, assertiveness, and empowerment.

I know that you want to have an amazing love story. In order to do that, you need to have a great connection with your partner. The problem is that years of ups and downs can take its toll on relationships and maybe your relationship just isn’t working, which often leaves you feeling frustrated and disconnected.
