Sometimes, life is just hard. If you need someone to step in and walk alongside you, this is what I can do. I believe life is like a book and you are the author. You have the power to write your own story. Whether you are dealing with tough circumstances, feelings of loneliness or just needing some strategies to work through a life transition, I am an open-minded and experienced therapist who listens without judgement and helps people find the best solutions for themselves.

I am a solution focused therapist specializing in couples therapy and families impacted by substance abuse issues. My skills include assessing individuals who might need treatment and utilizing my network of facilities to place that individual in the appropriate level of care. Once someone attains sobriety I believe I am well qualified to help them achieve long term sobriety through lifestyle change and work with the family unit. My approach to couples Therapy is to identify the issues and help the couple come to an agreement of specific, identifiable changes that will heal the relationship for long term success.

I believe therapy is an opportunity to grow and transform psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. It provides a safe and supportive environment where clients can process their experiences at their own pace. I am dedicated to educating and empowering others to make real and sustainable changes that will produce a lasting and positive impact on their lives. Together, we will develop goals that can help to remove barriers that are preventing the client from being the version of themselves they want to be. Through this collaborative process, clients can learn how to take on more challenging aspects of their lives.

Feeling overwhelmed is a universal experience that can strike anyone, regardless of age, occupation, or lifestyle. It's that sinking sensation when life seems difficult, adversity looms large, emotions are high and it seems like there's simply too much to handle. Delayed responses to these challenges and experiences can include persistent fatigue, and recurring thoughts, and create mixed emotional distress. Sometimes it takes months of dealing with your paralyzing shame before you can tell someone about it; however, healing is a journey, not a destination.

One of my passions as a therapist is to help shape everyone's understanding of the value of mental health treatment whether it is for yourself or your child(ren). Redefining "treatment" as a preventive exercise for yourself to unlearn old patterns and create new paths to feel great is my goal. Shame and stigma need to removed from our society's view of therapy and that is one standard I aim high for in my work. Prepare to laugh and have fun too. Therapy can be hard at times but it should bring out the best in us!

We all struggle sometimes and while family and friends may want to help, they may not have the tools you need to make changes, solve problems, or make decisions. Having someone to talk to who is unbiased and non-judgmental can be most helpful when we feel lost or face barriers to our hopes and dreams.

At times, the things that bring us joy and fill our lives with meaning can become overwhelming and we can lose our spark. Demanding jobs, family life, academic studies, and other responsibilities can fill our time leaving us depleted. Anxiety and depression can creep in as our coping skills fail us.

Young people today are faced with many challenges that place great amounts of stress on their emotional health. It is often helpful to have someone who can help them successfully move through these emotional challenges. I provide a community and office-based counseling service dedicated to helping adolescents and young adults build strengths that allow them to feel emotionally healthy again. When appropriate, I engage the supports of the family, the school, and the community in developing different approaches to affect behavioral difficulties that interfere with daily life activities and personal goals.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and stuck? You probably wouldn’t be here unless you are trying as hard as you can using the tools you have. Its not your fault that it hasn’t worked. Approaching emotional problems the same way we solve problems in the external world isn’t the solution to the problem, its the CAUSE of the problem. These cyclical patterns that provide temporary relief only reinforce the problem in the long run. Let’s work together to find a new way approaching your current struggles, with compassion for the part of you that is really hurting despite working so hard to get past this.
