Life is a journey with peaks and valleys. It can be so beautiful and rewarding, but yet stressful, overwhelming, and unpredictable! Each person's journey is different and I want to help guide you to a better place. I became a counselor because I felt the need to help people and reflective listening came natural. As your counselor, I can provide empathy, emotional and academic support, guidance, encouragement, healthy coping skills, parenting skills, problem solving, social skills, overcoming life's challenges, and motivating the unmotivated. I like to work with pre-teens, teens, young adults, and adults.

Do you feel overwhelmed and have difficulty managing your emotions? Is it affecting your relationships, ability to parent, your work? Do you feel paralyzed with anxiety, unable to make decisions to move forward in a productive way? Are you lacking the motivation to do the work and need accountability? You may be experiencing a life transition that is challenging existing habits and relationship dynamics. When these emotions aren't properly identified and processed, anxiety and depression can develop. We all have the tendency to get stuck on "autopilot" at times, but you can develop the self-awareness to move forward with intention.
