Comprehensive Counseling
tailored to your unique needs...
Seeking professional counseling can be a vital part of your overall well-being. Counseling provides a safe and supportive space to explore emotions, develop coping mechanisms, and build resilience. It can also help you navigate the complexities of your situation, improve your relationships, and enhance your overall quality of life.
Remember, feeling down, anxious, or overwhelmed doesn't mean you have to suffer in silence. By working together, we can address stress-related symptoms, gain clarity and insight, identify unhelpful patterns, cultivate self-awareness, develop healthy coping mechanisms, manage anxiety and depressive symptoms, improve communication, and build resilience.
Life can be unpredictable and challenging, and at times, navigating these difficulties can often feel overwhelming and isolating. Coping with significant life transitions, mental and emotional health struggles, maintaining a healthy work-life balance, managing chronic health conditions, providing care for a loved one, navigating complex relationship dynamics, or dealing with substance use can be incredibly demanding. These experiences can drain your energy, test your resilience, and leave you feeling alone.
Often, the emotional toll of these challenges is overlooked. Fear, anxiety, guilt, loss, anger, and sadness can accompany these changes and affect both you and those you care about. Working through these emotions is a personal journey, and each individual's time varies.

Seeking professional support can be a transformative experience, leading to greater well-being, improved relationships,
My career has given me significant knowledge and insight into how our mindset affects our thoughts, actions, and well-being. I've seen how trauma can result in chronic physical symptoms and the devastating effects this has on people's futures.
Early in my career, I struggled to help those with chronic issues. I was trained in brief solution-focused therapy and couldn't understand why some people couldn't rebound. My own diagnoses of Optic Neuritis in 2015 and MS in 2018 led to feelings of defeat, isolation, and a lack of support.
Seeking counseling myself provided insight, clarity, and tools. I learned to forgive myself for self-defeating thoughts and behaviors, accept my reality, and reset boundaries with my family. Prioritizing my well-being has made me a more compassionate and resourceful therapist.
Healing is a process, and change is possible when we take responsibility. Humor and compassion are key to sustaining rapport with my clients. I aim to help you discover how life transitions can motivate, strengthen, and guide you.

You struggle with fear, anxiety, and guilt associated with the changes.
You’re fighting battles others know nothing about.
You don't want another “how does that make you feel” therapist.
