“THAT WHICH WE NEED THE MOST WILL BE FOUND WHERE WE LEAST WANT TO LOOK.” Carl Jung... Perhaps you are suffering with something that's been attached to you since childhood or you are battling a current problem in one of the many units of your life (financial, physical, spiritual, relational etc). Perhaps you're not sure what's wrong, but things just don't seem quite right, perhaps I can help.

At times we become trapped in repeating negative patterns, unable to achieve our goals. Life feels meaningless, lonely and cold. Clarity and direction needed for the pursuit of happiness is lost in the weight of the day blocking the energy needed for change and growth. Lost in this mindset we fill every space with condemning thoughts and fruitless behaviors. These thought patterns result in no room for healthy, life affirming emotion. Whatever we use to numb from the dark, also numbs out the light.

Counseling is a pretty scary idea. Often, the clients that I work with have not experienced a safe relationship in a long time. The idea of sitting in a room and sharing your life story with someone seems like a recipe for betrayal and pain. At some point, though, the need for healing outweighs that risk and you choose to start working towards wellness. It is an uncomfortable, heavy, and ultimately extremely rewarding journey. I'm ready to get started with you.

I provide a safe space for my clients to share their stories, reflect on life experiences, and increase their confidence. Through collaboration, I will assist you in identifying your stressors and coping strengths, as you build new skills and move toward healing and gaining a more balanced life.

Are you or your partner struggling with unwanted sexual behaviors? Sexual addiction, pornography addiction, or sexual compulsivity?

This is my specialization and I am here to partner with you on this journey.

I have been at this for a long time and I feel that people know what's best and what they want for themselves, but they don't know how to get there at times. They need help, support and confidence in themselves to get there. There are so many variables that get in the way including various forms of abuse, mental health issues, family problems and drug and alcohol issues. I love to help clients work through these issues and concerns to help them restore confidence in themselves and be able to trust their own decisions. Most of all they deserve to look forward to their future!
