Great to meet you!

I will provide a confidential environment where sessions are a collaborative process. My goal is to help my clients gain the necessary tools to aid in wellness and a positive mindset. Mental and physical health work together with both being extremely important. Let's free your mind of repetitive/negative thoughts. I'll teach you how to spot negative patterns and give you skills to create a new path forward with yourself. I appreciate the opportunity to help you on your journey toward wellness.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Counseling has proven to be successful at helping people resolve all sorts of life’s challenges, and there’s a good chance we can help you get to a better place too. I have over 20 years of counseling in education. I can help you or your child define and reach wellness goals, cope with stress and develop a plan for coping with crisis. I will be there to listen and support you while also helping you create a plan and learn the skills needed to be your best self!

What you can expect from our first session

Facing life's challenges can be overwhelming! Improvement may not happen overnight, but you should see changes, even if it’s just a better understanding. I work with individuals utilizing cognitive behavior therapy, solution focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and other evidence-based interventions. I understand the benefit of non-traditional approached such as exercise, mindfulness activities and nutrition. My goal is to encourage clients to attain their greatest potential!
