Each day we have a chance to strive to live a life that is authentic and genuine, a life that represents and reflects who we are as people. Oftentimes, that authentic and genuine person becomes derailed and buried beneath the weight of life stressors. These stressors present in the form of anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal conflicts, relationship conflicts, grief/loss, loss of meaning/purpose, and beyond. Sometimes the assistance of a helping hand, an open ear, and an attuned mind is all that's needed to help us return to living as our authentic selves.

Life throws many different challenges at us, sometimes we just need to reset and seek some support to help us navigate confidently. Relationship issues, grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, self-esteem, and family challenges are all real issues that need our greatest attention. As a licensed mental health counselor, I will collaborate with my clients to identify their existing strengths, create and/or operationalize coping skills and mechanisms that will help them navigate life's challenging times.

At some point, we all need help navigating life issues such as relationship struggles, grief and loss, parenting stress, anxiety, workplace challenges, trauma, and self-esteem. None of us can handle life's challenges alone. For times when it is too much, counseling is a process where we work together to promote acceptance and change. As a professional in the field for 20 years I have experience working with couples and individuals. I like to understand my client's worldview and then work with them to make life a little (or a lot) better. Life can be really hard and it is helpful to know you are not alone.

As a counselor, I value having the opportunity to support those who are feeling down, depleted, or out of sync with their lives. I help engage clients in personal reflection and provide encouragement through times of transition and change. I work to build motivation for clients needing to move out of hopelessness. I am an experienced clinician who prioritizes providing a safe, compassionate, and respectful space for clients to grow. I specialize in addressing anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and autism supports. My approach blends cognitive behavioral therapy skills with supportive, person-centered discussions.

Seeking out therapy is never an easy decision, however it may be an important step in being happier and healthier. Perhaps you are struggling with symptoms of depression or anxiety, maybe you are experiencing a stressful change in your life, or possibly you have been thinking about seeking out therapy for a long time to address something from your past that you feel is getting in the way of your present. These feelings become overwhelming and seem like they impact every aspect of your life. My philosophy as a therapist is that you are the expert on you.

I enjoy assisting parents and other caregivers (teachers, daycare providers, therapists and caseworkers, etc) to make sense of their own past in order to be fully present in their current relationships.

I see my role as a counselor is one of an assistant or facilitator. I believe we all have the ability to help ourselves but we sometimes need a little help. As we go about our daily lives, we encounter stress which can affect us in different ways; showing up as depression, anxiety, health problems, or relationship problems. Sometimes we need someone to listen and give us a different perspective on our problems and insight as to how to deal effectively with them. I am familiar with cognitive-behavioral techniques and incorporate family systems and personality theories as needed.
