I have availability! Schedule a 15-min consult with me by clicking on my website. Prior to working as a counselor, I worked in a demanding industry and understand the stresses that come with working a high-pressure job. I understand the importance of maintaining “work-life harmony” between family life, recreation, health, faith, and time on the job. These are the timbers, or beams, on which we build each layer of our lives. No person is an island and I believe in helping people build their natural support systems, which include family, friends, teammates, and colleagues - to name a few.

Working with youth and adolescents is my passion as they embark on the arduous journey of self-discovery. During this process many youth and teens experience issues such as: oppositional behavior, emotional deregulation and expression, transitional challenges (autism, LGBTQ, school related issues, blended family), anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD/ADD, trauma, destructive behaviors and detachment issues from their surroundings, drug and alcohol abuse and dependency. In working with this clientele I utilize an authentic Cognitive Behavioral approach that integrates behavioral modification techniques promoting empowerment, motivation, self-confidence, self-awareness, and encourages personal responsibility, and growth in all stages of development.

As a counselor, my hope is to create a bond between myself and my clients that has a healthy balance between comfortable, casual, friendly interactions and actively working toward established goals. My approach depends on the present needs of each client, if you feel like something needs changing or something different may be more beneficial in the therapeutic environment, let me know and I will adjust. Whatever your needs are, I can be more structured and goal-oriented or I can put more emphasis on being an active listener that provides thoughtful feedback.

The only thing that is certain about life is change. Along with life can various transitions that can come with certain obstacles and challenges. Without the knowledge or tools how to navigate them, and most importantly, support, it can feel even more difficult. That’s where therapy can become a guiding light. My goal is to foster emotional well-being and personal growth with a holistic approach through a multicultural lens. That being said, there is no blanket statement and each client will be looked at individually for their unique strengths and abilities with a client-centered approach.
