Great to meet you!

First thing anyone needs to know when beginning counseling is that you need to feel comfortable with your counselor. You must be able to trust the counselor you work with and he/she needs to have your best interest at heart.

For over two decades, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals overcome life’s emotional, psychological, and relational challenges.

Specialties

Depression & Anxiety

Anger Management

Couples Counseling

Grief Counseling

Self-Esteem

My approach to therapy

Evidenced based therapies to meet your desired goals

Guide you on how to utilize specific techniques toward anxiety, depression, anger, communication and GREAT MENTAL HEALTH!

I firmly believe that everyone has the ability to transform their lives with the right guidance, tools, and support. I assist clients to see challenges as opportunities for growth, fostering an environment where they can rebuild their self-esteem, reclaim their sense of purpose, and take control of their mental health.

What you can expect from me

Expect to be able to acquire a new coping skill, (cognitive, communicative, relational, behavioral, etc) in each session that will propel movement toward your personalized goals. I may assign assignments (no grade) which are designed to reinforce the insights gained in therapy and empower you to make meaningful changes in your daily lives.
