Personal Statement

Do you feel as if something is holding you back? Would you like to make a great change but are unsure how to begin your journey of renewal? Whatever the purpose behind your frustration or confusion, know that counseling is a great way to gain clarity and find a new perspective to meet your goals.

I provide individual and group therapy to help alleviate stress, provide balance, and treat many mental health issues. Because I am a former military spouse, I recognize the tremendous strain this lifestyle can have on individuals and their families. Not only can I provide therapy for trauma and PTSD, but I also offer services to treat depression, anxiety, addiction, emotional disturbance, mood disorders, and other dual diagnoses. I also work to guide people through peer relationship issues, self-esteem issues, divorce, grief, and codependency.

In addition to these services, I also offer clients the power of Reikiā€”a holistic healing technique that utilizes your personal energy to find relaxation, balance, emotional breakthrough, and improved immune functioning. Related to this is my Self-Care Group, which focuses on educating members about maintaining wellness and self-preservation.
