The process of therapy is all about change and fulfilling one’s ultimate potential and purpose. My role as a counselor is to assist in the process of self-change and personal growth. Change can be scary and uncomfortable but is a natural part of the human experience and something that I attempt to make more comfortable in my counseling practice. In my practice I utilize a wide-range of evidenced based practices to assist patients with multiple presenting problems relating to depression, anxiety, PTSD, substance abuse and alcohol concerns and additional mood disorders.

Sometimes the journey we take through life can be overwhelming. Events happen that can throw us into a tailspin and get us off track. At times, situations may feel discouraging, out of control and even hopeless. Often, we become our own worst critic and the negative self-talk becomes discouraging.

As a therapist, I consider it a privilege to assist individuals, as they walk through and process life experiences and traumas. Life, work, and relationships can leave us feeling burnt out and imprisoned. Our ability to live life to the fullest often hinges on our perspective and choices. In creating a safe and non-judgmental environment, I seek to provide an opportunity for individuals to explore a deeper sense of self and discover the life they want to live.

I work with individuals 18 and up who may be seeking therapy from places of acute pain and feeling “stuck,” whether from feelings of sadness or anxiousness, issues related to trauma, loss, relationship issues, or sometimes without even being sure where these issues originated. I am an eternal optimist, which lets me see the good in the world. I may bring my silly humor “into the room” but also have strong compassion and empathy for people who endured pain. Through my years of professional experience I learnt that most of us are far more resilient than we realize. Therefore, we can find solutions that lead to positive changes.
