Starting therapy is a big step on your journey & finding the right therapist can feel like a daunting task. Reaching out shows you have the strength to conquer the hardship facing you in life, and with the right support, you will overcome. Part of what makes therapy effective is finding someone you feel comfortable with, someone you feel you can be your true self with. As your counselor, I will walk alongside you to support you in navigating the bumpy waters of your life. I will help you to identify the heart of the problem, not just talk about the symptoms that are acute. I work with those feeling depressed, anxious, overwhelmed, and having trouble adjusting to life’s transitions. Reaching out is the first step in healing. I will meet you at your point of need. I help clients like you develop the skills needed to create change, accomplish goals, and live a healthier happier life.

In our work together, we may focus on ways to cope with stressors or negative feelings first. Then we will work together to untangle your Authentic self from negative habits and distorted thought patterns. We may work on improving communication, practicing self-care, developing a greater sense of awareness, or developing a positive sense of self. You are in the driver’s seat; we will work on what You think needs our focus.

My practice is 100% online at this time. I provide teletherapy through a secure online counseling platform that utilizes live video or phone sessions. You are in control of what you want therapy to look like, & I’m here to support you along the way. The demands of life make finding balance a moving target. Without help, most families struggle, while believing those around them have mastered the art, and they are alone. You are not alone. Many people are having a difficult time creating lasting harmony in their lives. Let’s not waste another day, we can do this together.
