Individuals are able to make positive and meaningful changes in their lives. Counseling can help those struggling with issues one may be facing.

Many times individuals are suffering due to being stuck and engaging in patterns that stifle personal growth, inhibit change or increase stress. Many times these patterns are feelings of fear, guilt, anxiety, depression or anger. My approach is to help move you toward positively addressing these patterns and obstacles.

Each person is unique and I will work to understand your individual circumstances and unique feelings. History of family difficulties, stressors at work or school, problems relating to others, substance use, a medical condition, trauma or loss can make you feel trapped or hopeless. Our work together will provide a safe, compassionate and non-judgmental place for you to address your concerns.
