I have worked with children ages 2-21 for over 15 years in ministry, community outreach and mentoring programs.
Adolescence can be a difficult period of transition for many. Peer pressure, changing environments and non-traditional or abrupt family changes can be challenging for a child as well as a parent. Finding a connection with someone who can help manage and overcome feelings of inadequacy is the first step to wellness.

I have worked with children, adults, couples, and families, on a daily basis for the last 15 years locally and as a licensed therapist since 2010.
I provide "client centered" therapy which means facilitating your self-actualization (your innate ability toward growth and fulfillment), through acceptance (unconditional positive regard), genuineness, empathic understanding. I then build on that foundation by helping you gain insight, learn techniques, and examine your thoughts and beliefs.

If you are trying to figure things out as to why you are feeling the way you do, I may be able to help. People tend to know that there is something wrong or off but they just can't pin point to what is causing it or how to overcome it. Together through therapy sessions we can come to an understanding of root causes to feelings and thoughts. Let us work together and establish some goals that are realistic, short term and attainable. Asking for help at times may be difficult due to some stigma attached to it, I have experience working with clients who were reluctant to seek it.

Life can be very challenging, throwing so many unplanned curve balls at us that sometimes leaves us feeling defeated, unmotivated, and emotionally drained. But what if you could access the keys to happiness? To a healthier mind, body, a happier marriage, and deeper personal satisfaction. Would you grab those keys to unlock the world you have been dreaming about? Or would you say, “No thanks, I’m happy with my job, marriage, and how I feel daily?” But if you say, “No, I need those keys,” I applaud you for being courageous and vulnerable enough to change what isn’t working and learn what will.

Sometimes in life we face situations that cause us to feel stuck, unsure of what to do, or a desire to seek insight and a better understanding of our true selves. Therapy can offer an opportunity to explore areas in which you may want to become more in touch with your authentic self, make changes or talk about difficult things that you're experiencing.
