Asking for help is not always easy, but doing so is the first step towards feeling better. Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, unhappy, or depressed can leave you with a sense of feeling lost or being emotionally out of control and scared. You are not alone. I strive to create a safe and trusting therapeutic environment to help you feel as comfortable as possible in an effort to help you move forward in reducing negative feelings, improving relationships with others or any other issues you may be struggling with.

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.

Anxiety and fear of disappointing others don’t have to continue to take over your life. Keeping racing thoughts under control, battling constant “what ifs,” and getting stuck in indecision can be overwhelming and leave you feeling disconnected. The pressure to do it all, and the ever-present sense of perfectionism, can feel all-consuming. Putting so much energy into the people around you that you put aside your own needs may have started from a place of kindness but now leaves you feeling stuck and maybe even a little resentful. People-pleasing feels easier than letting people down, but it's keeping you from the life you deserve.

As we go through different stages of life; we might have difficulty dealing with certain life experiences like trauma, PTSD, domestic violence, struggling to understand our mental illness, and struggling to cope in a world that sees us as disabled. My counseling technique is the Person-Centered Approach where the client is directing their course of treatment. This allows the client to be the driver and not the therapist.

At a time in your life you may need a little help making things more manageable. You might have tried to fix all your problems by yourself... you have asked family and friends for advise... a higher power to make things better , to give you the strength and foresight to face all your troubles. You've even tried to do your best until you learn better but nothing seem to change. If you don't make the time to work on creating the life you want , you are eventually going to be forced to spend a lot of time dealing with the life you don't want.
