About My Clients

Are you a people-pleasing person? Afraid of hurting others' feelings by saying no to them? Do you chronically worry, overthink situations, or have racing thoughts? Why do we treat our friends better than ourselves? Anxiety may make you feel tense, out of breath, nauseous, or feeling like fainting at any moment, I can teach you skills and discover why anxiety is controlling you.

My Background and Approach

My approach is very personal in developing therapeutic trust and safety in a nurturing environment while healing. We will recognize, thoughts, behaviors, and self-defeating patterns that cause the problem and implement change so that you can be your true self again. You will learn about insights that can liberate yourself from the root of fear, restlessness, pain, and addiction. By the end, you'll have the skills and the habits to tackle this yourself. The goal is that you don't need therapy. I graduated in 2001 with a master’s degree in Behavioral Sciences. As a licensed Professional Counselor, I have worked with adult individuals, groups in outpatient settings, intensive outpatient settings, hospitals, and rehab facilities. In 2013 I earned my national certification as Master Addiction Counselor.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My philosophy is that humans have an innate ability to heal. Looking at human development we are hard-wired to adapt to new situations. Trauma, pain, and fear are just signs that we have to change something in our life.
