I am open to working with clients and/or couples who are ready and willing to do the work! Although it may be hard, it will soon be worth it. I would be a good fit for you if you want to be challenged and gain new insight about yourself.

Making the choice to seek help can be extremely challenging and anxiety producing. Over the past 30 years, I have been committed and dedicated to helping individuals find positive ways to cope with a variety of stressors. We each experience life a little differently, and something that seems easy to handle for one person may be so difficult for another. Building a relationship is critical along with empowering you to dictate the areas that are most important for your growth and wellness. I strive to develop a nonjudgmental environment to help you best articulate how you are truly feeling.

Therapy is not just about talking; it’s about connecting with the words you are saying to help facilitate growth and change within. I am here to be with you on this journey of learning how to identify, process and express all your emotions. From happiness and joy to the uncomfortableness of anxiety and depression -and everything in between! For many people, trauma has caused ways of surviving that might not be helpful for us anymore, leaving us with intense and confusing emotions. This may lead to difficulty and struggle in all areas of life. We will work to create a place of safety to go on this healing journey together.

Many people struggle with substance use, depression, anxiety, stress, life changes or relationship difficulties, but don't have the skills or support needed to handle them in a healthy way. Counseling is simply a time for personal reflection with a professional who can help guide you towards positive growth and change. During counseling sessions, I will help you explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe and supportive environment, providing you the insight and awareness needed to move forward, instead of feeling stuck or helpless. Remember, you don't have to go through life's difficult situations alone.

Currently accepting clients with immediate openings! If there is one common human emotion, it is a feeling that we are doing the best we can. We like to feel we always make our best decisions. The struggle exists when we learn and understand that today’s decisions were informed by the many experiences of many yesterdays. We want today’s actions to provide tomorrow’s happiness, leveraged on yesterday's chaos. I have built a career on understanding that change is scary, but necessary. If you are here, then you have already done the hardest part: getting started.

We've all heard the phrase "live your life to the fullest," but for many of us, that can seem like an impossible goal. Navigating our thoughts and feelings, exploring cognitive patterns, and understanding who we truly are can be a challenging and complex process. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where clients can explore their innermost thoughts and feelings. By creating a space that is validating, non-judgmental, and compassionate, I help clients to develop a deeper understanding of themselves.

Therapy is a journey toward self discovery, self realization, growth and change. Many people find themselves struggling with issues such as low self-esteem, anxiety, fear and depression. They create inaccurate beliefs about themselves based on false and negative thoughts. The secret to building positive self-esteem is to learn to see the whole you not just your mistakes, failures or imperfections. "To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance" Oscar Wilde

Life can become challenging, with or without a mental disorder. Regardless of the severity of your struggle, having professional support can be essential. I believe that the best way to get through the difficulties of life require selfempowerment. You may need an objective person with whom to process the curveballs life has thrown at you. You may need guidance and life skills (relaxation, coping, etc) to better handle overwhelming challenges. You may need directed professional care to help with symptoms associated with mental disorders. My job is to help get you back on the path to the life you want.

I am a firm believer that our mental and emotional health are just as important as our physical health and wellness. More often than not, we put ourselves on the back burner, taking care of others needs and then ignoring our own. In the world we live in, it’s also easy to push our emotions to the side and tell ourselves we "shouldn't" feel this way. Living well doesn't have to mean sacrificing your needs for others, it might just mean, we chose to intentionally put our energy into things that fill us up and allow us to feel more centered.

I believe that trauma and adversity effect and change the mind, the body and the spirit, and too often therapy neglects to look deeply enough at all three of these areas. I provide therapy with a holistic approach. We will look at all aspects of your life both past and present and use practical, proven effective treatment. I also believe critical to treatment is feeling accepted and cared for by your provider. Please call Sanctuary Counseling at 716-291-0059 and speak with our administrative assistant to make an appointment.
