The ideal client has had enough of trying to solve “life on life's terms” with the same reactions and patterns that have proven inefficient, and possibly disastrous in the past. I was trained in Solution Focused Brief Therapy. This translates into goal-oriented therapy sessions in as few sessions as necessary to accomplish identified goals. I believe that clients seek mental health therapy to improve their daily living and it is my job to provide a safe space along with relevant psychotherapeutic interventions that enlighten a path to better living.

Have you lost your way? Perhaps your life was headed in one direction when an unexpected event changed the direction of your life and you feel alone and disoriented. Or perhaps you are in a relationship with someone that you love that has become mentally abusive and you have lost the person inside that you used to be. Or maybe you have changed over the years through life’s experiences and the career that you once loved no longer fits you and are looking for a new path but have no idea where to start. If any of these stories sound familiar, just know that while you may be lost, you are not alone.

Making the decision to contact a therapist is not always easy. There may be fear of judgment or of the unknown. I applaud those who take the first step to seek help for issues they are struggling with. Anxiety, depression and self-harm, to name a few, have become such common struggles in our society. Therapy can be a place to explore your life, take a look at your experiences and build skills to help improve your future. Sometimes, everyone needs help weeding through those difficult times when things can become confusing or overwhelming. My goal is to walk with clients through this process and toward their goals.

There are times in life when, for reasons potentially unknown initially, we experience negative events. I believe we have the choice to let these experiences define who we are as a person, or learn what we can and use them to continue our journey. These experiences can leave a person with more questions than answers and a mix of feelings and thoughts. I want to help you move toward a clearer understanding, learning how to handle difficult emotions and challenging times. I believe that you have an amazing capacity to change, grow, and move toward the purpose for which you were created. I view this process as a journey of discovery.

LGBTQ+ people experience many different situations and circumstances that are unique to the LGBT community. Your gender and orientation doesn't define you, but it does play a large role in your life and impacts many different other issues that you may face. You deserve a counselor who not only understands this, but also knows how to incorporate a person's whole self into counseling and addresses the specific challenges unique to the LGBTQ+ Community.

I am here to support people through their life journey and where it may lead them. Periodically we need additional assistance and I am here to support their process.
