Our families, past relationships, and trauma events impact who we are as people, whether we like it or not. There is great freedom in breaking generational curses and creating a healthier relationship for yourself, the people you love and generation to follow. I can’t fix whatever you are going through but will make sure you don’t have to fight it alone. I specialize in working with people who deal with addiction, substance abuse, anger issues, depression, self-esteem, family conflict, men’s issues, etc. I am motivated to see you become the person you desire to be.
As a therapist, I have worked in this field for 8 years with adolescents, adults, families, individuals and groups sessions. Building rapport with clients through sessions utilizing a collaborate, evidence-based approach tailored to each individual client's needs. Providing a safe environment to focus on strengths to a positive and sustainable well- being.
Growing up we heard so many negative stigmas about mental health. Taking the first step is always the hardest when opening up to a stranger, but you are not alone. Life can be overwhelming and challenging at times and feels like we are drowning. Let’s take this journey together. It will not be an overnight process, but together I can assist you to overcome.

I have supported clients with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma and behavioral issues. I have experience with couples, families, and adolescents. Allow me to help you on your journey, feel free to contact me to schedule an appointment.

I specialize in working with older adults, adults, adolescents, and children, helping them manage emotional and behavioral challenges.
My practice is person-centered and tailored to each individual’s needs.

I help clients address concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, mood and behavioral disorders, anger management, self-esteem, family dynamics, and emotional regulation.

I often work with individuals who seek counseling when trauma, addiction, or ongoing life stressors begin to affect their emotional functioning, relationships, and overall well-being. These challenges may show up as distress, instability, or difficulty coping with daily demands. Many clients come to therapy seeking structured support to improve emotional regulation, regain stability, and work toward meaningful, sustainable change.
I offer trauma-informed and addiction-focused counseling using evidence-based and motivational approaches. When clinically appropriate and guided by the client, I can incorporate spiritual support. Treatment emphasizes coping skills, insight, and recovery-oriented goals.
Beginning counseling is a proactive step toward improved mental health and stability. You do not have to navigate these challenges alone. If you are ready to engage in a supportive and professional therapeutic process, I invite you to reach out.

I often work with individuals who feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, or past experiences may leave you feeling confused or uncertain. Many people come to therapy seeking clarity, peace of mind, and practical tools to better manage their emotions while feeling heard and understood.
I provide compassionate, client-centered counseling tailored to each person’s unique needs, because life’s challenges are not solved with a one-size-fits-all approach. I offer a safe space to process thoughts and emotions, strengthen coping skills, and reconnect with purpose and hope. I primarily use a person-centered approach while integrating evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused strategies. I believe that every individual has the capacity to heal, and sometimes guidance is needed along the way.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating, and it’s normal to feel unsure about what to expect. I am here to guide and support you throughout the process, you do not have to do it alone. I strive to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where you can feel safe to grow at your own pace. If you are ready to begin or continue your healing journey, I invite you to reach out. I would be honored to walk alongside you.

Struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues are hard, but coping with the world in its current state is emotionally draining. Taking the first step to prioritizing your mental health by seeking counseling can be nerve racking at first, but I promise you, it’s worth it! I’ve had the opportunity to work with clients struggling with various life problems including depression, anxiety, substance dependence, as well as marital discord. Being committed to the process and doing internal work is honestly my ideal client. I hope to help you achieve your personal goals & leave a positive impact on your life.
My passion and focus to provide person-centered care, while also giving you just enough push to help you transform yourself in ways you never thought possible. I always provide empathy and compassion but have also developed a healthy way to appropriately challenge clients in reframing irrational and distorted thinking to promote effective client growth.
As your therapist, I take pride in the quality of my work and hope that you can present with vulnerability, honesty, and motivation in emotionally investing in yourself just as much as I am! If you have come to a fork in the road in this place, we call life and would like to participate in a wonderful ride to mental wellness, feel free to contact me!
