Therapy gives us an opportunity to look at the problem areas in our lives in a safe and non-judgmental environment so that we can find ways to make the changes we desire. As a licensed professional counselor (# 80595) with over 10 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families, I help manage the feelings associated with life's struggles; recognize, understand, and change self-defeating patterns; heal past pain; discover and foster inner strength; and learn new ways to cope that allow a person to get what they want and feel good about themselves. I am well rounded as I specialize in working with anxiety, bipolar, depressive, personality, and psychotic disorders.
I also work with life transitions, work related stress, career challenges, parenting, social/relational skills, sexual dysfunctions, barriers, and addictions.
My therapy style focuses on the specific needs of the person. It may be short term therapy to deal with a specific problem or more extensive treatment to help gain insight into long term dysfunctional patterns and issues. I am committed to exploring roadblocks in happiness, fulfillment, and helping you LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE!
I chose counseling to make a difference and show others that there is life in pain and struggle. I enjoy supporting my clients through hope, resiliency, and healing as well as finding meaning and purpose. In my free time, I take pleasure in spending time with family, friends, my amazing dog Sir Carter, and volunteering. I love being a helper. Being there for my clients and community is a feeling that brings pure joy. I meet clients where they’re at and nothing feels better than helping people see life through different lens.
