How we can work together

Deciding to seek counseling or therapy is a significant step towards improving various aspects of your life—whether it’s relationships, career, or personal well-being. You may find yourself at a crossroads, contemplating changes or feeling a need for something different.
When looking for a counselor or therapist, it may be because you want to improve an area of your life, or a relationship with friends, co-workers, colleagues, your spouse, or even children. Maybe you’re considering how a career change would improve life. Or moving into a new neighborhood or house. Maybe you’re exhausted with always being on edge, or you’ve noticed how things you used to enjoy don’t seem to interest you anymore.

Regardless of your reasons, you know something needs to change – life has to get better, and it’s time to talk with someone who can help.

Sometimes the right decision or change doesn’t seem so clear, though. Sometimes you may wonder if a crystal ball would give you better answers than those you can come up with on your own, or those that friends and family.

The idea that there are right and wrong answers is a myth. What is right for others likely is not right for you. And vice versa.

So how do you know if your on the right path or headed in the right direction? How do you know if you’re ready to make a change? Where do you even start?

Learning to embrace change, embracing uncomfortable situations, knowing you don’t have to have all the answers gives you the confidence and security to forge ahead into the unknown.

That’s where I come in

I can help you embrace the change and embrace the awkwardness of not knowing what is next, all while leaning into your authentic self so you can have the life a crystal ball never could have told you about.

We do this through exploring your things that are holding you back, such as fears, irrational thought processes, assumptions, and negative experiences from your past (that are likely constantly on repeat), and help you move forward.

Your path is unique to you. Your goals are unique to your path. This is why I tailor each session to clients’ unique needs.

How it works

Private Sessions

Experience personalized and confidential therapy sessions tailored to the unique needs of individuals, couples, or families, providing a safe and supportive space for transformative healing and growth.

EDMR Therapy

Explore healing and transformation through EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy sessions, a specialized approach designed to help individuals process and overcome the impact of past traumas, fostering resilience and emotional well-being.

Mental health…is not a destination, but a process. It’s about how you drive, not where you’re going.

InDividual Counceling

Recognizing the uniqueness of your path and goals, each session is thoughtfully tailored to address your individual needs.

I am here to guide you in embracing change and navigating the uncertainties of the unknown, allowing you to authentically connect with yourself and create a life beyond the predictions of a crystal ball. Together, we delve into the obstacles hindering your progress—fears, irrational thoughts, assumptions, and recurring negative experiences from your past—and work towards moving you forward.
Family Counceling

Empower your family to embrace positive change, strengthen connections, and cultivate a nurturing environment where each member can thrive.

Family therapy is a powerful avenue for fostering positive change and enhancing the overall well-being of the family unit. It recognizes that individual challenges and conflicts often intertwine within the family dynamic, impacting everyone involved. By engaging in family therapy, each member gains a voice, and collective strengths are harnessed to address shared goals.
Counseling for Teens

Family counseling for teens is a collaborative journey that empowers both parents and teens to build a solid foundation for a healthier, more fulfilling future

Helping teens understand their emotions is a fundamental aspect of therapy. By providing them with tools to comprehend their thoughts and behaviors, therapy empowers teens to gain control over their lives. This understanding forms the basis for building a resilient foundation crucial for navigating future challenges and thriving in various aspects of life.
Substance Abuse Counseling

I specialize in conducting in-depth substance abuse evaluations to ensure a thorough understanding of each client’s unique history and needs.

My goal is to provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment throughout the evaluation process, ensuring that clients feel heard and understood. Together, we work towards developing a holistic understanding of their substance use history and formulating a personalized plan for their journey towards positive change.
