My Approach to Therapy

Are you just so tired of it all that you want to give up? Are you feeling trapped and alone and as though not a single person gets it? Do you find yourself holding your head in your hands as your body is shaking asking why? And again, ask yourself, haven't I already gone through enough... Does it ever stop? Yes, It can stop. You really are worth the effort. Do something kind for yourself, for you this time. Join me in a safe, non-judgmental, warm, and empathic atmosphere conducive to growth and change from within. A space where you can be you. I am an experienced licensed professional counselor. I have specialized in helping clients with grief and loss, chronic pain and suffering, sexual trauma, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and bipolar, as well as have extensive experience working with men’s issues. My focus is working with teens, adults, couples, and men. I am a passionate, accepting, and warm therapist who loves to laugh. My clients often say they like that I am “real”. My goal is to help you find peace and laughter in your own life by providing the tools and coping skills needed to embrace life, despite its difficulties, in a safe, non-judgmental space that fosters trust, change, and healing.

My Practice & Services

I am located right off exit 37 North or South, easily accessible from all directions. I’m set up for COVID-19 guidelines for in-office clients and am continuing to offer Telehealth. I have years of experience and am accepting new clients. I love to listen, to share in your sorrow and in your joy, and although the work we'll do will be tough, you’ll leave in a good positive space. Something I truly believe is the strength of laughter. Allow me to help you find the joy you need to laugh again. To love life again. and the peace to rest easy!
