Life is not always easy. Balancing the demands and responsibilities at home, work and/or school can be challenging. Sometimes you may find yourself feeling overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, or uncertain. Over the last several years, I focused on building skills to help clients manage stress, anxiety and depression.

I work with adults and children experiencing anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Utilizing cognitive-behavioral therapy as a foundation for the counseling process, I draw from other client-centered and supportive therapy theories to assist individuals in improving mental well being and discovering strategies for lasting change. 

My hope is that through counseling you will be able to accept the past, celebrate more fully the present, and gain more confidence in your future.
