Are you struggling with issues in your daily life? Are you finding it difficult to manage a healthy work life balance? Maybe you’re dealing with a relationship or blended family issue. I want to help you look for options, explore problem solving strategies and learn coping skills to improve daily functioning and communication overall.

I offer an empathetic, supportive, and accepting environment for my clients to feel heard and understood while also challenged and inspired to take on new perspectives, ways of thinking, and daily practices. My goal is to help you learn to live your best life at home and work all while taking care of yourself. I encourage you to invest in yourself.

Why I Chose To Be A Therapist
My decision to become a counselor is the basic desire to give back. I appreciate the therapist, coaches,and mentors that have supported me through my life’s trials, assisting me in my personal health and well-being. The “tipping point” for pursuing my counseling degree came about after I took a different position at my job in 2012. The position caused daily anxiety and stress to the point I would dread Monday morning. I was depressed, couldn’t sleep and detached from my family. The anxiety and my way of living (not dealing with the anxiety) was taking a toll on my health. After seeking a doctor’s advice and doing some soul-searching, I decided to take action to rectify the situation. I decided to become a counselor at this time because I felt no one should have to experience these same feelings.
