Sometimes life gets too overwhelming and it seems impossible to deal with. When life has thrown you one to many curveballs and you feel lost, it's okay to ask for help. Life can change in an instant and it can be hard to adjust when dealing with things like death/illness, break ups, financial issues, substance abuse, existential crises, etc. Dealing with life changes, past trauma, and future anxieties can seem like too much to handle and you may feel alone in your struggles. If life circumstances have led to anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation/attempts, psychoticism, PTSD, substance use, or other mental illness I am here to help.

I work in an empathetic, insight oriented, strengths-based manner in order to help you gain clarity and insight to; build on your strengths, heal past wounds, and explore choices to make new decisions.

I am greatly interested to know your story and to partner with you on your particular journey to wellness.

Mental health needs may sometimes be overlooked in Primary Care today. Most PCPs may be too busy to ask the next question that will allow clients to open up regarding their mental health concerns. Mental health needs are growing by the minute and the second, with increased suicides and mental health breakdowns rising. Increased violence is becoming a common way of life in our society, related to minimal access to mental health services. Many people are searching for help. However, they do not know how to get there. The struggle is real.

It is a privilege and an honor for me to walk with you through such difficult and vulnerable moments. Please know that you are not alone and, together, we can move toward a better tomorrow.

Counseling is a process by which we work together to identify and work on any issues you bring to your session. My approach to counseling involves helping you to identify strengths within yourself and develop self-awareness. Counseling is a joint effort which cannot be successful without hard work, energy and courage. Counseling provides a safe place to explore reactions, thoughts and feelings about people in your life as well as yourself.

I AM CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Aristotle once said "knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom." Sometimes in our lives when we embark on that journey to understand ourselves, it becomes too emotional and overwhelming. Often you may know what you want out of life but feel uncertain about how to move toward your goals. If you struggle with worry or feelings of depression and are stuck in a life that feels out of control, I can help you to build that bridge to bring you to a more satisfying life.

Ernest Hemingway once said, "The world breaks everyone, and afterword, many are strong at the broken places." Life is full of experiences that can be overwhelming and scary. Although at times you may feel like you are broken, with the proper tools and resources, you can mend yourself to become the greatest version of you. I believe in a client centered approach and will base my therapy style on your needs.
