I help people understand that the ability to change exists inside them. I help them to understand the stages of change and how they can use these stages to effective change themselves and their lives.

I am passionate about working with childrenl having difficulties with anxiety and emotional dysregulation.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected, sad, unloved? Do you make others a priority over your own needs and desires? Do you wonder how your life could be better somehow? Happier? Many people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and sad. They are uncertain about how to deal with their relationships, careers and issues in their lives. Pushing away what you need and want to make others happy isn't the answer and can lead to long term problems for your mind, body and spirit. We start counseling exactly where you are at and deal with what issues you would like to bring into our sessions. You will find that working with me through various counseling methods will provide you a better and more productive way to handle some difficult issues that are overwhelming you. I can help you understand what is keeping you stuck and help you get "unstuck". Together we can discover the best path to help you reach your goals and if I can't help you, I'll find someone who can. I work with clients who are open, ready, willing and motivated to deal with issues that are keeping them stuck. I believe therapy is a good time to take an objective look at yourself and your relationships, what is working well, what not so well and develop tools that get you back on track and stay on track . As we work together collaboratively, we will focus on solving the problems that are most pressing and important to you and set concrete goals that work for you for your continued success. My clients appreciate the safe, comfortable environment that is created as I listen to you carefully, offer guidance when needed and help you create an effective way to get the results you are looking for. It is possible for you to build, grow, and maintain the life you want. I can help you and if I can't, I'll help you find someone who can!
