About me
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a passion for helping individuals and couples.
As we go through the experience of life, we learn things about our environment and how to function within that environment. We
are always learning and sometimes our brain solidifies messages that are harmful to our mental health. An example could be the thought “I don’t deserve love”, this thought was formulated by our experiences (both good and bad) and I want to help you restructure that thought so that it is more truthful or helpful. I also like to provide you with coping skills that allow you to deal with the strong emotions that come with restructuring distressing thoughts. And finally, I like to help you explore solutions to your problems with a major focus on self-care, communication, and boundary setting.
My passion lies in relational work. If you struggle within your relationships, whether they be romantic or familial/social, I can assist you and your partner/family member in the development of skills to foster growth and closeness within your relationship. I have assisted couples with issues such as conflict resolution, intimacy, and creating shared meaning with each other. My relational work extends to parents who want to build a more cohesive parenting style that provides a safe environment for both parent and child to express strong emotions while searching for solutions together. My overall goal for individual clients as well as my couples/families is to learn more about yourself and the people in your life. If you are ready to dive into this process and begin your
healing journey, call or email me today for a consultation.
