Everyone experiences seasons in life and challenging circumstances that are difficult to manage. Whether you are struggling with relationship issues, work, adjusting to motherhood, worried about your teenager, feeling down or anxious, dealing with an illness, or grieving the loss of a loved one, there is hope for overcoming your trials and learning how to better prepare yourself for the future.

I am a dedicated professional counselor that believes everyone can find hope for their future and make achievable goals. My empathy and relatability help me to connect with individuals that have the desire to make positive changes in their life.

Life can be challenging at any age. My goal as a counselor is to help ensure that clients feel they have a safe space to express themselves and feel comfortable to share their authentic self. My focus is to form a therapeutic alliance with each client so we can work together to strive towards their therapeutic goals. My therapeutic approach is mainly focused on Play Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Talk Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Life often presents many challenges that can leave people feeling unequipped to cope. As a result, some feel they are only surviving instead of thriving. The good news is this does not have to be the case. If you'd like help making that transition, I may be of service to you. I have 12 years experience in the area of counseling, 7 of them as a licensed professional counselor. I help people work through grief, depression, anxiety, symptoms of bipolar disorder, relationship issues & anger management, among other areas of concern.

Most of us go through times that can be helped by conferring with an unbiased, supportive, listening ear. I specialize in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and EMDR techniques that have a high level of scientific support. By balancing compassion and honest feedback, I help my clients change unhelpful patterns of behavior. I love to teach practical tools to help my clients face fears...to not only cope with life but to flourish.

I offer psychological consultation and treatment for teens, adults, couples, and families who are struggling with a difficult challenge. I strive to provide a warm, friendly environment where all can feel safe, comfortable and confident about coping with the challenge presented, whether it be a life-changing event (for example a traumatic event, a life transition such as divorce, or the death of a loved one) or a psychological difficulty such as depression, anger, or anxiety, to name a few.

Although, you may be feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, frustrated or even angry, it is my hope that together we can work as a team to achieve a happy and healthy life. I try to create a comfortable environment that allows us to address the challenges you are facing so that you are one step closer to living the life you always wanted. I recognize that each individual is unique, with different experiences that define who they are. I have a strong passion for what I do and look forward to meeting you.
