Personal Statement

Life can be a never-ending roller coaster. Relationships are tough. Careers and jobs become more stressful as we progress up the corporate ladder. Sometimes we need to talk to someone who has been through it and can listen, provide empathy, and strategies to help us cope. Many people struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, marital or relationship concerns.

I understand and know how hard it is to balance life, family, and career. I spent 23 years in corporate America in the banking and e-commerce company prior to becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor. Today, I treat many people for the concerns listed above. I get it because I have been there!

My goal is simple. I help people create the life and relationships they desire! Pillars of Hope Counseling is about courage, trust, and strength. It takes courage to recognize the need or desire for help. Trust to explore a variety of perspectives and opportunities. Strength to rise above tough challenges. These are the pillars we all possess but often don’t see in ourselves. I help people realize their talents, uncover hidden passions, find forgotten dreams, and overcome difficult life events.

I provide individualized treatment based on each individual or couple’s need. In working with individuals, will explore thoughts, perceptions, false beliefs and unhealthy thinking styles. Will address worries and concerns. Discuss opportunities for growth and revisit values.

I utilize many tools and techniques from the Gottman Method as well as Family Systems when working with couples. I teach couples better communication and conflict resolution skills, Together we rebuild trust and deepen emotional intimacy. I help couples dealing with infidelities to rebuild, trust, and improve their relationships.

In reaching out there is hope for healing brokenness and improving the quality of life.
