You pour into others daily, but feel empty when the day is done. You wonder if the thankless tasks of daily life will ever be enjoyable again. Do you feel like you're ready for someone to pour into you?

Let's prioritize YOU together. Allow me to help you navigate through these moments in your life.

I can help you deal with past hurts and manage current issues. I operate from a collaborative, strengths-based approach. I strive to treat each person with dignity and respect. While I am not a certified substance abuse provider, I have experience in treating substance abuse issues.

First Session is Free! Hello everyone! A little about me. First I am honest, dedicated, friendly and empathetic. I enjoy helping others in any way that I can. I am here to provide a safe, comfortable, and supportive counseling environment. I want you to feel comfortable sharing your concerns/issues with me. I want to be open and share that I myself have used therapy as a coping mechanism. I lost my grandmother a few years ago and she raised me from birth. It was a difficult time in my life and I had a lot of trauma/grief/depression and anxiety. So I can relate. This is a judgement free zone and I am here to help you love yourself!

Life's overwhelming stressors can often get you off track making you feel alone and without anyone to confide in to offer support and encouragement. The essential thing to remember is that everyone experiences these moments throughout their lives; it's what makes us human.

Are you struggling to figure out what makes you happy or to find motivation to make the changes that would greatly improve your life? Are you trying to figure out your purpose in an ever changing and complicated world? Do you struggle in navigating your personal / family relationships, or wish to improve how you relate with others? Are you just stuck and confused on what to do? The clients that I consider a best fit are those who are wanting to change themselves but are finding themselves stuck because of anxiety, depression or relational problems.

I work with clients who struggle with mental health, substance use, and Trauma to explore issues and help create a formal treatment plan that will help reduce, manage, or even resolve the problem. We also help a client understand how to manage high-risk situations and cope with everyday life stressors without turning to substances.

You’re a people pleaser who wants to have healthy relationships and stop feeling so worn down and stretched thin all the time. Perhaps you’ve been striving to make sense of life in the midst of trauma, betrayal, relationship struggles, divorce, empty-nesting, or job changes and you feel like you’re drowning. Sometimes, you can’t shake the feeling you’re a failure. Your creativity is stifled, your energy is gone, you feel lost, you don't know who you are anymore, and your faith may be shaken. You just want to feel confident and capable and safe again, no matter what life brings you.

I enjoy working with motivated clients to restore the balance to their lives, and to expand beyond that.

Sometimes life can be hard. We can get trapped living in the problem rather than the solution. Let's work together to make the changes you want. Although I enjoy working with all client types, my specialty is in substance abuse and codependency. I particularly enjoy working with adolescent and young adult males who are struggling with "failure to launch" issues as they make the transition to becoming responsible adults. My motto is "people will not care how much you know until they know how much you care." Building a positive client/therapist relationship sets the basis for growth.
