I utilize a person-centered, nonjudgmental approach that incorporates your knowledge, talents, and preferences into skill-building.
Many adults feel pressured to have all of the answers when faced with life’s problems. We can find ourselves in a place where coping strategies just aren’t working. Some fear being a burden on others, so they keep their struggles mostly to themselves, despite the pain they’re experiencing. Imagine if you could learn coping skills that actually improved your situation? Imagine if you could feel comfortable sharing your struggles with trusted individuals, instead of keeping them bottled up inside? There is a way to develop coping skills unique to you, which will help you think and feel differently.

Sometimes life throws us off the path we wanted to walk down, but it is never to late to change the direction of our path. It is important to take time to explore our thoughts as they are directly correlated to how we feel on a daily basis. I share with my clients that we need to start by managing your emotions, so they do not manage you. When we learn to have all three; positive thoughts, feelings, and beliefs, we begin to see the change that we have been looking for. During our time together my goal is to help you process your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs in order for you to walk down the path of your choice.

You wish your spouse knew how to love you the way you want to be loved. Over the last year, the stress on your marriage has led you to a breaking point. Everyone in your house has been working and learning from home, crammed in on top of each other. All the normal outlets for fun have vanished. Meanwhile, communication between you and your spouse has hit an all-time low. Every morning, you politely tiptoe around each other in the kitchen, performing a ballet of indifference as you navigate the tense silence that’s taken root between you. The hurt and resentment keep piling up. The stage is set for another explosion.

There are times in life where you may feel unequipped to deal with life's challenges, where you find old solutions and coping strategies do not solve the problem anymore, and may be in need of a different perspective. Therapy can be a wonderful resource for clients to get to know themselves better, adapt healthier coping skills and reach their goals and full potential to live a more fulfilling life. My goal as a counselor is to provide a safe and welcoming atmosphere for clients to feel secure and supported on their journey towards self-fulfillment.

You can’t pour from an empty cup; take care of yourself first. I help anxious people regain control of their lives. My clients struggle like you do. Nothing is permanent in this world, even our troubles. Anxiety is an unseen enemy that is crippling and may be negatively affecting your career, relationships, and personal aspirations. Stress and insecurities can keep you from living your best life. Despite being hardworking, helpful, and outgoing, life continues to knock you down.

Today we are often faced with challenges that can appear too difficult to handle. Many of us have multiple roles we play each and every day which can sometimes feel overwhelming. In my experience as a Mental Health Counselor, I understand the role I can have as a professional to assist clients to finding new ways to cope, manage feelings, and essentially become the master of their own mental makeup.

Life can be very challenging at times and we all could use some support along the way. I have experience working with children, teens and adults from diverse backgrounds, with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, ADHD, and life transitions. I view therapy as the process of developing a better understanding of thoughts, emotions and patterns. Since every situation is unique, I use a variety of approaches and techniques based on the needs of each individual.
