*CURRENTLY TAKING NEW CLIENTS* Each person is born to be someone – themself. Over time this sense of self is molded by our lived experiences, relationships, and interactions. Sometimes we are molded to fit into a role or to fulfill someone else’s needs. It is this sense of losing ourselves that can lead to the challenges of anxiety, depression, emotional distress, and numerous other mental health concerns. As a result, I believe counseling is an essential part of life – a journey to finding the authentic self.

"The only thing constant is change." Life is full of moments that require major adjustments to how we live, think, and act in the world. These times of adjustment can often be stressful, even painful. On the other hand, there exists enormous opportunity for growth during these times of change.

When human beings experience significant stressors within their life, it's not uncommon to feel like your life is unraveling. Whether it's from experiencing difficulties within your home life, struggling to work towards your desired goals, battling a substance use problem, being a victim of bullying, poverty, or experiencing mild to severe mental health concerns. I am equipped with the skillset to help you overcome the issues you face. My ideal client is someone who is motivated to work towards their goals, consistent, open-minded, and transparent.

I provide compassionate, culturally responsive, identity-affirming, trauma-informed counseling for adolescents and adults.

Coming to see a counselor is a really big step towards growth and healing. I want to walk along side you and process through the things that brought you in.

I have been trained in the Gottman method for couples counseling. I have extensive experience working with individuals who have both addiction and mental health related issues.

I believe we have the innate ability to heal ourselves, whether the issue is fear, anxiety, relationship difficulties, communication problems, chronic illness, or even a major life transition. Whether it is emotional / psychological / relationship, I view these as a call for change, growth and development. My approach with my clients is through a partnership and collaboration that fosters a healing journey, new skills, and a plan for wellness and self development. As a life coach, my specialty areas are: individuals experiencing major life transitions, promoting health and wellness, and recovery from childhood trauma.

Going through any change in life is a challenge. It is typical to have feelings of doubt, uncertainty, and ambivalence when it comes to change. I truly believe that people are the expert on themselves. This allows me the opportunity to learn about each individual's unique experiences and provide an objective perspective. In doing this, it is my goal to assist each person in exploring different options to help them achieve their best self. My promise to my clients is that I walk alongside them to offer support while making those changes. Ultimately, my hope is to make myself obsolete so that you become your own therapist.
