Let’s work together to make this your reality.

Life is full of transitions and it's difficult to deal with the day-to-day challenges of family, work, school, health, or grieving a loss. The help of a professional counselor may be necessary to get through some of these moments. I use a Person-Centered technique to create a safe space for you to tell your story. I have over 15+ years of working as a Human Resource Professional and I have seen how workplace bias impacts an individual’s mental well-being. I transitioned into Mental Health Counseling because of my passion for working with individuals and families to find a pathway to getting unstuck and navigating the unknown.

If you, or someone you know is going through a tough time, talking to someone is one of the best possible things you can do. One of the advantages of talking to a counselor is that they do not know your friends, your family and they do not have opinions about how you should be living your life. It can be easier to open up and tell me things you might not tell other people. You do not have to worry about being judged.

There isn’t any relationship in a person’s life that can compare to the kind of relationship shared between a client and their therapist, and that is what makes this connection so invaluable. A lot of us are fortunate enough to have people in our lives that we can both confide in and seek advice from, but it is quite normal in this day and age to need more support than our friends and family can provide. Coincidentally, this extra support can come from a person that initially begins as a stranger.

I have practiced for 5+ years as a licensed creative art therapist (LCAT). My practice specializes in working with adults of all ages. I put focus into making the unconscious conscious, working through core beliefs to develop a new sense of awareness. The symptoms a person experiences are part of a deeper issue, which we will work to uncover together. We will seek to better understand how environment, systems, culture, & relationships interact with historical & present thoughts, emotions and somatic experiences.

How would you describe yourself and your life right now? Maybe you have very clear vision of the changes you would like to make in your life, but you don't know how to get there. Or you might just know that something is off/not right and it's hard to know what that is, much less know how to address it. Either way, what you do know is that you'd like some support; but how do you even figure out what therapist or what modality to look at?! Think of the journey you're on as a bit of an interview/date-like experience: there will be a lot of requirements on paper, but at the end of the day, what matters is how the relationship feels.
