My role as a counselor is to be an instrument for change. I aspire to help others reach their full potential as we transition through life's challenges together. Using a strengths-based approach, I support clients as they learn to accept existing circumstances. I assist clients in developing clarity and encourage identifying areas where one can grow personally to attain realistic goals. Together we embark upon a journey that often times explores the price of self-doubt, the importance of forgiveness, and the ability to develop increased faith, trust, and belief in oneself.

In my journey becoming a counselor I have gained skill with children, adolescents, adults, and families. Some topics I am able to work on with clients are trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, identity issues, LGBTQAI, difficult transitions, and family issues. Along with talk therapy, I provide art therapy and will provide some play therapy techniques when appropriate. Clients can look forward to learning new skills and strategies, processing issues, and making changes when ready. I always make this a collaborative process with my clients and look forward to creating a plan and setting healthy goals with you.

The human condition is indeed a complex topic. However, I have found that individuals across cultures have an innate tendency to think in unhelpful ways and engage in acts of self-defeat, even though they are trying not to! Common self-defeating behaviors that I help many people with include: avoidance/decision conflicts, isolation, procrastination, passive and/or aggressive communication, substance, sex, gambling, and technology addiction. Self-defeating behaviors are often closely linked to unhealthy negative emotions that you may also be experiencing such as: depression, anxiety, anger, guilt, shame, hurt, envy, and jealousy.
