Trying to live up to the expectations in life is hard, and it is important to take time out to care for yourself. As a counselor, I believe in the human capacity for healing and change. I work with adults, adolescents, and children over 6 years old, both individually and in family settings. I often work with those who are struggling to cope with grief, stress, interpersonal relationships, and substance abuse. My job is to provide a safe space for you to process your thoughts, feelings, reactions, and behaviors in order to develop a new outlook and find new ways to respond to life. I strive to empower you, helping you to make improvements that are positive, effective, and meaningful to your goals.
In my 16 years of experience, I have developed an eclectic mix of evidence-based strategies to meet your needs. My approach is strengths-based, utilizes cognitive behavioral approaches and trauma-focused practices. We will work together to bring balance to your emotional and internal responses, incorporating mindfulness and self-compassion into your treatment plan. I can help to prepare you with the tools that you need to combat life’s challenges. Using your existing strengths, we can move forward to better manage stress, develop new coping strategies, increase your well-being, heal, build confidence, and develop healthier relationships with yourself and others. Together, we will work to understand what may no longer be serving you well. Remember, it is you who creates your story, and only you have the power to change it.
