It is my hope that people, families and children will embrace their potential for success, overcome hardships, recognize their value and conquer life's challenges.
Many of the clients I provide services to have experienced challenges that no one should have to go through in a lifetime. The children, adolescents and families that I serve may have participated in counseling previously or are trying it for the first time. People may have felt that their or their children's issues were beyond help or intervention. People I work with are offered strategies and solutions to life's challenges, in a comfortable environment, with a compassionate and dedicated counselor. I work closely with each person, family and child so they may achieve the difference in their life that they wish to see.

I have primarily worked with children, adolescents, and their families for the past 20 years in mental health, residential and school settings. Prior to that, I worked for a domestic violence, rape crisis, and child abuse center where I worked with survivors and their families in various capacities, including group and individual counseling, crisis intervention, and victim advocacy. This has provided a great deal of experience working with trauma and related issues, such as depression and anxiety in adults and children. It also has given me the opportunity to see families grow and make positive changes in their lives after adversity

As a counselor, it is my job to provide a confidential and non-judgmental environment. I understand that sometimes life can be overwhelming, and it can feel like no one understands your strife. For example, are you going through a breakup? Feeling depressed or grieving the loss of a loved one? I can help. Since counseling is not a one size fits all approach, I use a combination of therapeutic strategies for best results. Each client will receive an initial assessment to gather diagnostic and treatment planning information.

The recorded conversations on replay in your mind are so loud and pervasive that the only thing that stops the noise is distraction. So, you find yourself scrolling SM, binging a TV show, or sleeping... ALOT. But, at times even distraction isn’t enough. You’re finally realizing this painstaking cycle of avoidance in your life, not just avoiding the big things, but even the IDEA of facing any emotion at all. You are ready for a change! But, change is hard. You've tried before and failed. You've done therapy in the past. You've read self-help books. You feel as though nothing will ever change. You've all but given up hope.

My approach to counseling is deeply rooted in client-centered and strengths-based philosophies. Client-Centered Therapy asserts that a relationship characterized by genuineness, unconditional positive regard (acceptance), and empathy can result in a self-directed process of growth. Essentially, with support and encouragement, we are capable of making positive changes in our lives. Specific interventions and techniques used will vary depending on your individual needs.
