Oftentimes, the main purpose for seeking counseling is to relieve the stress and anxiety of current circumstance in order to lead a more productive lifestyle. The clients I serve present issues relating to behavioral health, alcohol and drug use, and deviant sexual behavior. My goal is to assist clients in identifying how daily choices can lead to situations that require professional interventions.

Peace, purpose, belonging, fulfillment, happiness - these qualities can feel elusive in the midst of the many challenges of life. Unexpected, painful events pepper our histories with emotional, unseen wounds, and patterns of behavior that we've used to survive can often lead to further distress. However, there is hope. It takes courage to seek help in the form of counseling, and that is a significant step in the journey of healing and personal growth. I want to encourage you for thinking of taking such a step today and let you know that through such steps, one at a time, the overwhelming mountains of life can be overcome.

Every client's issue, needs, and goals will always be different depending on where they are in their journey of trauma and healing. I refuse to treat everyone the same within the scope of my practice. I find being authentic and unapologetic in my delivery tends to allow the client to revisit, readjust and release the things they have found to hold them stagnate in their healing. What I have also uncovered about a client is their "want" and "why" does not always coincide with each other. What they may want may not be why they want it. Realistically, the result is always to find what they lost some time ago.

Relationship difficulties do not define a relationship. Mental health challenges do not define an individual. They are natural human trials to be experienced. I have over a decade of knowledge as a research investigator in psychology to assist in your counseling journey through experiences. I approach the human condition as if we contain natural resources, yet to be mined, to achieve full potential in life and relationships. There’s optimism in human nature and it contains hope to aspire towards greater self-understanding. Once a person becomes more self-aware of his/her behavior, it’s possible to change or adapt for the better.

Feelings of stress and imbalance are common place in our rapidly evolving world; restoring balance to our lives can be that positive change we seek to reclaim a sense of peace.
