My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space for my clients where I can assist you in healing, finding new coping skills and start feeling better. It is my passion to support individuals in need and to work together to help you thrive and live a more balanced life. 

My therapeutic style is person-centered, humanistic and collaborative. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques along with other interventions I have practiced over the years. I take an eclectic approach to meet each clients individual needs. 

My focus is working with children, teens, and young adults. My specialties include, but are not limited to, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and relationship issues. When working with children I like to incorporate play therapy and address any behavioral issues, attention disorders as well as struggles they may face in school. 

Therapy is a space where you can feel heard, validated and supported. Often taking the first step can be the hardest. I understand how challenging it can be to be vulnerable. If you find yourself in need of support and are struggling, I am here to help. 

I know it is a privilege to walk alongside someone who invites me into their life to face the obstacle that is in front of them. Embark on a transformative journey with me as your dedicated counselor and coach with decades of experience. In our virtual space, we'll delve into counseling sessions, weaving techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy, talk therapy and person-centered approaches to explore the roots of your challenges. Think of our sessions as friendly conversations, where we focus on setting goals, overcoming obstacles, and enhancing various aspects of your life. I bring in evidence-based coaching techniques tailored just for you—whether it's a solution-focused approach or incorporating mindfulness. Together, we'll navigate life's twists and turns, helping you not just cope but thrive with newfound resilience and a refreshed sense of purpose. It's a personalized journey where counseling and coaching converge to support your unique path of personal and professional development.

My ideal client is someone who is motivated to make changes and is open to addressing physical, mental, and spiritual changes. My specialties include working with families who have a loved one in addiction, and persons who would like to make life changes even though the anxiety of change has been getting in the way. I have also studied all the major religions and I am passionate about spiritual breakthroughs. Upon request, I offer Christian counseling.  Until we meet, create a beautiful day.
