Life feels best when we feel in control of our lives and have choices. Chances are you've been trying to figure out your situation on your own and you haven't been able to find the right solution, just yet. That's when counseling is most beneficial. As a counselor, I can offer you new perspectives, fresh ideas and insights which can positively influence the situation. I enjoy working with individuals, families, teens and couples to experience more happiness, success and peace in their lives. It's important to me, that my clients gain new information and strategies that can be applied in their lives when dealing with difficult situation, as clinically indicated, when working on changing behaviors. My role is to guide you in changing or eliminating any negative thought patterns or behaviors that are getting in the way of your happiness. I work with clients struggling with thoughts and feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, sadness, depression and frustration. It doesn't need to be hard, it needs to be clear and easy to implement in your everyday lives. I like to guide clients to find relief and empower them to make choices to experience better relationships with others, as well as themselves. Unfortunately, many of us are not taught empowering ways to use our minds to feel happier and healthier. I enjoy working with clients who are looking for ways to manage their relationships, feelings of anxiety, panic and stress and to eliminate obstacles or circumstances that might be in their way to happiness. I believe there is always something we can do to positively influence our lives and our present circumstances. If I can help you with any of these issues listed above or answer any questions, please do not hesitate to call.

My specialty is working with clients using proven strategies in positive psychology, CBT, DBT, Attachment theory, solution focused strategies and energy psychology which supports clients to grow in new positive ways. Emotions help give us information, they aren't meant to harm us, they are meant to inform us.
