About

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Life Coach and Veteran of the Marine Corps with 10 years of Social work and Counseling experience. Currently living in Kansas but originally from New Jersey, I have worked with a wide range of concerns to include stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, parenting, anger management, coping with life transitions, divorce and relationship issues to name a few.

My counseling style is first and foremost non-judgmental and empathetic with warmth and respect while being personable and down to earth. I believe in being honest but not harsh. I use a regular conversation style because I consider us equals in this partnership. I do not believe in manipulation.

My approach combines Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Humanistic, Holistic, Client-Centered, Trauma-Focused and Solution Focused counseling. I focus on healing the inner child along with aiding you with the appropriate coping skills that work best for you. I am a strong advocate for energy work and imagery to heal the trauma. This is not a structured therapy style.
Most importantly, as long as you are ready to do the work and confront your fears, the power lies within you to solve your life's toughest problems.

I am merely a guide to promote healing and balance by honoring the mind, body and spirit.

Thank you for taking the next steps in your healing journey. It will be an honor to assist you.
