Whether we're working with young, seasoned, or somewhere in between, the ideal clients are the ones with moxie. Their issue or presenting need is immaterial as we believe humans desire safety and acceptance. The challenge for therapists is to determine if that safety and acceptance is defined internally or externally. Collaboratively, we seek to assist you in identifying your goals and through empowerment, determine the best approach to achieve success.

I strive to help individuals live a life where they feel balanced, at peace, happy, and content. There are everyday life stressors that can interfere with this, big and small. I have experience working with a variety of issues such as severe and persistent mental health issues, borderline personality disorder, substance use issues, anxiety issues, depression issues, and life transition issues. I strive to help implement healthy coping skills to regulate emotions and improve one’s well being overall.

My heart as a counselor is to meet my clients where they are. I believe that we are all on a journey of growth with a desire to improve our emotional health. Every once in a while we get to a place where we feel stuck and sometimes being stuck is painful. That is where a qualified therapist can come into the picture and help you identify goals and process past hurts. I strive to provide a safe place where my clients can work through these issues free of judgement.

Life has a way of letting us know when it is time to reach out. Are you feeling overwhelmed, burdened, stressed, and ready for change, but not sure where to begin? Do you feel you have more to offer, but feel stuck? Then counseling is the right setting to have a conversation that may open doors to problem solving and provide tools for guidance. Growing up working in the family restaurant and being active as a student athlete, I didn't have the tools to manage the stress around me. While I was helping others to perform as a personal trainer, I knew I needed to become a counselor to help in a more wholistic way.

The focus of my practice is to help clients create a balanced life. When we are stressed, anxious or depressed, it is a sign that we are living our lives out of balance. I can help you to identify the areas that are out of balance and create a plan to address those areas and get back to a place of balance. I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to make changes to improve their lives, find purpose, meaning and fulfillment. I published my book, How to Create Your Balanced Life in 2017 on this topic.

Clients who seek help are generally looking for a wide spectrum of improvements in their life. I look at the big picture which includes, their personal happiness and their balance in life which includes relationships, family, work, play, personal health,growth, and spirituality. No matter their age or gender, all issues relate to their current diagnosis and life situation. Depression,self esteem, adjustment issues, and relationships are the focal point of every treatment plan.

Mental health affects us all but in different ways. We can experience the same symptoms/issues/stressors, but perceive and experience it very differently. This is what I enjoy about being a Mental Health Practitioner; the curiosity and insight of understanding one’s story through their own lens. My clinical approach is empathic, nurturing, and motivating. To help individuals achieve their goals, I often use Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, or Solution Focused Brief Therapy.

Whether it's a life transition, making a big decision, relationships, parenting, the overwhelm of current life stress, or just not sleeping well and feeling irritable all the time- you are not alone.

I use an integrative blend of evidence based therapies to foster lasting growth & change.

Human beings fascinate me. I am intrigued by both the "why" of how people came to be sitting with me sharing their story and the "how" of helping them change their lives for the better. When we work together, you are not your diagnosis or your problems but, rather, you are a human being trying your best to be content with yourself. It's as simple as that. I always tell my clients "you can't drive to happiness" and by that I mean happiness is fleeting. The goal of therapy, in my mind, is contentment. We will always be working toward that!

Therapy can be greatly beneficial, but not knowing what to expect in therapy can cause uncertainty. I hope to ease any uncertainty by sharing about what it's like to work with me. My style of therapy is collaborative, casual, and direct. Much of what we'll do is have exploratory conversations to assist you in increasing insight of yourself. We'll work together to foster awareness of your thoughts, emotions, and patterns to understand how these patterns affect you. With this awareness, we'll establish your personalized goals and work to meet these goals so you can create the change you want in your life.
