Great to meet you!

For over twenty years, I have counseled children and individuals with health issues and focused on a wide variety of issues, from PTSD, depression, anxiety, behavior issues and self-esteem. At PowerUp Counseling, I continue to help clients cope with issues using my vast background and proven knowledge with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Reality Therapy to provide solution focused treatment plans to my clients.

A bit about my approach to therapy

At PowerUp Counseling, my goal is for you to feel seen, heard, and valued in our work together so that you can examine your life and make meaningful changes that will alleviate symptoms and increase well-being. My staff takes an innovative and unique approach to solve our client's challenges. We integrate the latest in mental health science and proven methodology to serve you. Your plan is individualized. It is about you. We are focused on getting you on a better path.

What you can expect from our first session

You will not be judged nor characterized, but offered a treatment plan that is individualized based on your needs. I'm passionate about what I do and the affect it has on the lives of my clients. I believe in creating a safe enviornment for you where therapy can be serious, empowering and yes, even fun. I hope to hear from you soon, learn more about what's keeping you from living a better way of life - and be given a chance to help serve your needs!
