My Journey
When life seems confusing and is overwhelming, I can walk with you, help you seek answers, and find hope. Feeling anxious, nervous, alone, angry or overwhelmed? Struggling at work, home, school, or in relationships? I can help you seek the changes in life you desire. My counseling/coaching services are geared toward helping individuals, groups, and families with any multitude of problems that arise.
​
I believe compassion, humor, and understanding are the skills people need to accomplish their optimum level of functioning. My empathy helps make my clients comfortable by using a non-judgemental, caring approach. My goal is to help promote healthy change for anyone, at any point in their life.
​
I have experience in working with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, substance use, anger management, behavioral issues, self-esteem, school issues, life transitions, men's issues and more. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems, Solution Focused, as well as taking a client-centered and strength-based approach with every person.
