As Carl Jung said, "I am not what has happened to me. I am what I choose to become. Know that choice is available. The question is; where am I choosing from? Is it the past that directs my life or have I crossed the bridge from the past to stand in the present moment where choice and freedom prevail. "You're not alone." Empathy is a powerful connection between us all. Empathy is connecting with emotions to another with a sense of knowing what that person is feeling. Can you connect with your own feelings and emotions to realize the experience of being alive? Two questions to ponder: Who have you been this year?

One of the hardest things for many individuals is to make the decision to seek therapy. As a Licensed Mental Heath Counselor/Therapist it is a privilege to be afforded the opportunity to be a part of someone's process as he or she starts to break free from some of the limitations imposed on them by their own past, or the pain of their early relationships and experiences, to find their way, uncover their goals, and start to reveal who they really are. it is honestly one of the most rewarding reasons I am committed to the process of change produced through therapy.

Today's lifestyle is plagued with many stressors which often impinge on our ability to accomplish goals. I believe therapy should provide an environment where coping skills needed to handle those stressors can be learned. I encourage the ideas of self-empowerment and independence. I strive to create a safe and confidential atmosphere where clients learn the skills which will promote individual success. In my opinion, therapy should provide an opportunity for growth which results in a higher level of self-satisfaction.

Elev8te Your Mind..Your Thoughts Will Follow encapsulates our ethos perfectly, much like the process of working out. Just as the theme suggests, we believe that by elevating your mindset, your thoughts will naturally align with positive outcomes, similar to how regular workouts enhance physical well-being. Our approach to therapy mirrors this philosophy, focusing on uplifting your mental and emotional state to foster growth and transformation. Through our services, including dealing with intergenerational trauma and offering both faith-based and secular therapy, we aim to elevate your consciousness and empower you.

I enjoy working with people of all ages who are experiencing "life" & the stressors that come with it. Especially the older teen, young adult, Gen X & Millenials - life is a journey that none of us are particularly prepared for & there comes a time when a caring ear & an outside professional perspective can truly help. life happens - its how we cope with it that matters most! i work with common issues such as relationship stressors, family conflicts, school life issues, life changes, life planning, behavioral challenges, parenting stressors as well as adults struggling with career issues and in need of basic life coaching.

Life is to be enjoyed....not endured. Every person deserves the opportunity to grow and develop, and to achieve their full potential. Emotional issues often deprive the individual of the opportunity to make informed choices about their lives. When an individual is suffering from emotional pain it may seem like there is no hope. I listen to you and help restore hope. I help you to break free from problems/symptoms causing emotional pain. I help support you toward making healthy changes in your life. I have been providing these services for over twenty years.
