When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade? Is it really that easy? I would argue no, life throws things our way that we aren't always prepared for or have the skills to handle. As a counselor, my hope and drive is to help people who have been given lemons learn how to make lemonade. Learning how to handle anxiety, stress, depression and trauma can be overwhelming and exhausting. My goal is to be a warm supportive person so that you feel comfortable as we work through your life's stressors. I desire to create an environment that is welcoming and non-judgemental to both children and adults as we work through life's stressors.

I am an energetic licensed clinical psychologist who is offering comprehensive psychological and psychoeducational assessments to the growing Blythewood and Northeast communities! I use a variety of diagnostic methods to capture each individual's profile of strengths and weaknesses. I asses the person’s level of functioning, including attention, memory, learning skills, language skills, nonverbal reasoning, organizational skills and problem solving. I investigate whether the person is experiencing any emotional distress that is severe enough to meet criteria for a formal diagnosis,such as a depressive or anxiety disorder.

One’s inability to overcome personal, professional and relational challenges is strongly connected to their thought process, which typically dictates their actions. The only means by which to change one’s actions is to challenge, uncover and resolve not only faulty thought processes, but also the source of them. Then, replacing them with more accurate and empowered thoughts of self to utilize in changing the scope of their lives.

Do you often find yourself feeling overcome by feelings of despair and helplessness? Do you struggle to accept yourself as you are and to cope with the anxiety of existing? You are not alone. Many clients come to me when they are at the end of their rope and merely hanging on by a thread. People often want to learn to accept themselves as they are, to feel worthy, and ultimately, to be able to improve their relationships with others. Similarly, couples often seek therapy in order to learn to communicate effectively, to deal with conflict, to strengthen their bonds, and to prepare for marriage or children.

Before you can show up hard as a partner, parent, son, or daughter, you have to show up for yourself first. Ultimately the changes you wish to see in your life, starts with a commitment to embrace all of you. Together we will then do the inner work to help you reap the outward benefits.

We all struggle from time to time. In the course of our different journeys through life, many unexpected hardships come our way. Facing these situations can often times leave us feeling ill-equipped, to say the least, leading to negative self-talk and a less than satisfactory outlook on life.

My goal is to walk alongside you and help you discover your own resiliency and worth in the midst of mental illness, neurodivergence, and even life transitions and stressors. I have significant experience working with a variety of issues, but have extensive knowledge and experience working with folks in crisis, thinking about ending their life or hurting themselves, or folks living with Borderline Personality Disorder. I am also committed to changing the culture of mental health into one that is inclusive, nonjudgemental, accepting, safe and authentic. After all, mental health is not about being sick, it's about being alive.

You've experienced more than most and, despite your best efforts to keep the pain at bay, it shows up in your current relationships- sometimes in ways that you're not proud of. You KNOW what you want your life to look like but it feels so out of reach right now. When you slow down long enough, all that's there is a sense of loneliness and longing.
