Walking through this journal called life is difficult and there lies an extra layer of challenges when one is struggling with their mental health specifically related to past or current traumatic events. In fact, without awareness, we often make decisions and behave based upon how our past experiences have made us feel. I am here to help you explore the root of these issues, which in turn, will lead to the discovery of your true identity and self worth. My therapeutic approach is holistic in nature and this is why I specialize in the use of EMDR, IFS, and ACT.

A good therapist should help you become stronger and much more self-aware. Some counselors are experts in relationships and understand the dynamics of our interactions with others. Relationship counselors help in intimate relationships with a partner or spouse, other family members, and even people within your professional working world. Counselors have experience in particular areas, such as addiction management, anger management, adjusting to life changes, conflict reduction and management, developing higher levels of emotional intelligence, grief and loss, healing and forgiveness, spiritual development, and much more.

I’m an LPC, and I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts/beliefs and increase helpful behaviors. This process also decreases stressful emotions. I utilize dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) informed approach to teach my clients how to regulate emotion, improve interpersonal skills, and increase resiliency. I often utilize DBT to focus on increasing mindfulness utilizing meditation and breathing exercises.

Greetings! Are common challenges such as anxious thoughts, chronic low energy, persistent feelings of sadness, or difficulties managing stress weighing you down? If so, as a therapist, I can engage you in a series of conversations with the goal of helping you determine what changes, if any, you would like to make to improve your emotional health, manage stressors, and pursue a valued lifestyle. I have years of clinical experience as a licensed counseling psychologist and my specialties include working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and substance use issues (alcohol and other drugs).

For some people, it is easy to ask for help & for others, it is extremely difficult. You might be struggling with managing difficult behaviors with your child & unsure of how to help them. You might question whether you should even come to counseling because you are not sure if what you are going through is "really bad enough" compared to others. Maybe you have done counseling before and did not feel it helped. Counseling is about learning how to manage difficult feelings as they arise. Mental health is not linear, & ups and downs will happen in the course of life, so it helps to have someone to listen when they are struggling.

My ideal client is someone who seeks to understand and overcome their feelings that say things like "I'm not good enough" and/or other anxious thoughts. This thought may make them struggle in relationships, at work, and in personal growth due to their desire for perfection.

Their goals are centered around achieving a balanced life, forming meaningful relationships, and finding purpose in contributing positively to the people in their life.
