*BETTER MEN, HUSBANDS & DADS* Sometimes it can feel like you've failed or haven't lived up to your loved ones (or even your own) expectations. Vulnerability can be hard, and because you're used to being the one to "fix" things, it seems there's no one who can understand or help you. You may not know what direction it takes to become the husband or father that you need to be, or maybe you know the direction but simply can't make it happen. You might feel alone, defeated, overwhelmed and just want to figure out how to make things better now.

As your counselor, you are the primary focus, and therapy is about your needs. We will work together to overcome your obstacles. Life is a journey, and there are always bumps in the road, which can cause physical and emotional pain. This pain can disturb your health, vitality, peace of mind, self-esteem, and motivation, affecting your personal and professional relationships. In addition, these emotions can cause you to feel isolated, alone, and fearful. Navigating these emotions can be difficult, but going through it alone can be even more so. Most of us seek someone to talk to who truly listens and understands.

It seems like everyone around you is smiling and enjoying life. How do they do it? They look so confident and carefree, while even the smallest task feels insurmountable to you. Just going about daily life is like climbing a mountain, yet never reaching the top. The moment your eyes open, anxiety and depression greet you, stalking you throughout the day. Your mind is full of criticism and self-doubt. Yet you keep your pain a secret, because you're mortified and ashamed. Besides, your life is no worse than anyone else’s, right? Would they believe you’re suffering -- or blame you for feeling so bad? Maybe you even blame yourself...

Since 2006, my experience has been growing in guiding and supporting folks in overcoming the psychological barriers of severe mental health concerns and situational or generalized concerns. I learn what the individual is seeking to gain and create a therapeutic approach unique to that individual. I'm trained in multiple modalities and typically utilize a combined approach. I enjoy working with adults and couples and provide both individual and family counseling. Choosing a counselor can be a difficult process so I embrace every opportunity as an honor to build a trusting relationship and unveil wellness.

Discouragement comes in many forms. My goal is to provide a compassionate environment addressing the discouragement of anxiety, depression, adjustment difficulties, low self-esteem issues, and other situational stressors. In therapy we collaborate to explore life problems and implement change. With children, my goal is to develop a safe and secure child-centered relationship emphasizing acceptance and empathy. The parent-child relationship is the most important factor for a child’s well-being, so I enjoy helping parents learn to use child-centered techniques to effectively respond to their children’s emotional and behavioral needs.

We all struggle with the ups and downs of life. My passion is working with children (ages 3 and older) and families to promote healthy and happy individuals and relationships. I hope to help my clients enhance their own individual strengths, better their relationships with others, and enjoy the most out of everyday interactions and experiences. Solution Focused and Attachment-Based therapy are the primary approaches I utilize in treating clients. As human beings, I believe we are wired to connect with others and that individual change and healing influences relational change and healing.

Many first responders struggle to put on the uniform day in and day out; feeling helpless that the 911 system will never change plus the frustration of disconnection between dispatch, field, and administration only feeds the discontent. There are so many things we can't control: calls, call volume, and sometimes whether the patient lives or dies. Its no wonder first responders have some of the highest burnout rates. I know this first-hand because I burned out of EMS. All the way out. I am here now as a counselor to help first responders manage and treat the feelings of burnout to increase longevity in the profession.

I know it’s not a matter of IF life will get unbalanced and messy; it’s more a matter of WHEN that will happen. I get it! I know you have been doing your best to handle things on your own, but you deserve the support to succeed and thrive in life, not just having to coast the best you can. My role as a counselor is to walk alongside you and help sort through things when the mess seems too much for one person, parent, couple, or family to handle. You don’t have to go through this alone.

I hold an abiding belief that no matter how difficult a person's circumstances may be, it is possible to produce meaningful change. I walk with my client on a unique journey towards self-enhancement, wellness and goal attainment. My theoretical basis takes into consideration the developmental stage of not only the individual but the family as well. In this effort, we explore the emotional and psychological demands of individuation and adaptive coping development. Ultimately, my job is to work myself out of a job, so that you can feel self-assured to carry on without my intervention.

People of all ages and walks of life can benefit from therapy, because therapy is really for anyone wanting to improve their life. Sometimes problems are concrete and clear, other times, people know that something isn’t quite right, but they can’t identify what is causing them unhappiness or stress. Therapy works because there are times in everyone’s life when they can use help to overcome the obstacles that stand in their way. Problems come in many shapes and sizes, both large and small, and therapy is a good space in which such problems can be addressed.
