About

Anyone can benefit from counseling. There are so many obstacles and challenges we face daily and learning how to tackle each one is key to a healthy, happy life. Deciding that you need a little guidance is not something anyone should be ashamed of. People seek counseling for many different reasons, As your counselor I understand that no two people are the same.

Have you been at a crossroads in life and you feel life’s journey has taken some unexpected turns? Do you find yourself stressed (sad or anxious) and unable to manage? Are you concerned that life continues to pass you by and you can’t keep up? Have you tried to solve the problems on your own and realize you need help? Maybe your relationships are struggling and have been hard to deal with lately? If any of these thoughts and concerns sound familiar, then you have made the first step in your Journey to Wellness. I know this is hard. You’ve likely been debating seeking help for months, if not years. But I’m so glad you found me and have taken this courageous step being here.

I’m confident that together we can work to help equip you with the necessary tools to help you face and overcome these challenges. Whether you’re struggling with stress management to include depression, anxiety, work and/or school related stress, grief and loss, or marital problems, it is important that you know you don’t have to be alone in this journey. I have the experience to help you achieve your goals, overcome these struggles, and live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

I understand no two individuals are the same, and I tailor our sessions together to address challenges unique to you. We will work together to understand the root cause of your struggles and address those issues with long-lasting strategies, helping you get closer to the life you’ve always wanted.
