Reducing Anxiety
If you're struggling with anxiety, you're not alone. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health condition in the United States, affecting 40 million adults.
Eating Disorder Help
There is no “one size fits all” approach to tackling eating disorders. The best therapy is tailored to the individual. So, whether you're struggling with one of the "top three" (i.e., anorexia, bulimia or binge eating disorder) or some other distressing pattern of eating, person-centered principles can break the cycle.
Practicing Mindfulness
Mindfulness is the process of paying attention to the present moment without judgment. This type of counseling can help you to become more aware of your thoughts and feelings, and to learn how to manage them in a more constructive way.
Managing Depression
Is it hard to get going in the morning? Counseling can be an effective way to work through depression and get back to a happy, healthy life.
Overcoming Addiction
Struggling with substance use? Feel as if you can't stop compulsively shopping, gaming, or doing something else that is leaving you feeling empty inside? Addiction is commonly misunderstood and can leave those struggling feeling as if they need to do so in silence. That's simply not the case. A mental health professional can offer a judgment-free partnership to help free you from the clutches of addiction once and for all.
Trauma Resources
Trauma can result from things like abuse, violence, natural disasters, and many other distressing events. No matter the circumstances, one thing remains the same: Trauma changes the brain. This is why the counseling process should include methods designed to get both the mind and body back on track.

Have you ever heard the saying, 'You must make a choice to take a chance or your life will never change?' (Zig Ziglar). Life challenges us time and again, but after hardships, we find our strength. I am the empathetic and compassionate person I am today as a result of challenging life experiences that led me on this path and gave me an unfailing passion for helping others feel better and achieve their personal best. My goal is to provide you with genuine connection, attention, and care, using an individually tailored approach that addresses both the mind and body and best supports your own unique needs.
I believe in person-centered care. You know you best and your therapeutic goals will be our guide. We may work on developing stronger interpersonal relationships, reframing negative thought patterns, identifying self-defeating behaviors, or understanding ways to cope with a significant life change or loss. Let's work together to get you "unstuck."
Sustainable healing is possible as you become more self-aware and confident in your own abilities. I’m ready to help jumpstart your journey to a deeper self-understanding, and I look forward to working with you to help you reach your full potential!
