MS, LPC, ICAADC, CIMHP, CCTP, CA

Have you ever felt like something is missing in your life? Do you face obstacles that seem overwhelming, leaving you exhausted just thinking about how to overcome them? Are you unsure of which direction to take next? If so, I’m here to help you on a journey to create your best life. I firmly believe that we become our strongest selves in the wake of our greatest storms.

I can assist you in defining patterns that no longer fit the person you are striving to be, and walk alongside you as you create the life you have always dreamed of, and how to begin to create this life and start living.

How I address clients’ needs:

  • Guiding clients in identifying their core values and what matters most to them, and collaboratively setting realistic and meaningful goals aligned with those values.
  • Developing Self-Awareness: Helping clients understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, including the patterns that might be hindering them from making desired changes.
  • Challenging Limited Belief: Identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and assumptions that may prevent the client from pursuing their goals or embracing new possibilities.
  • Building Coping Skills and Resilience: Equipping clients with practical tools to manage stress, anxiety, and other difficult emotions that often arise during transitions.
  • Enhancing Communication Skills: Improving communication with loved ones and others in their support network to effectively express needs, boundaries, and emotions.

Professional Experience:

  • 18 years of experience in the behavioral and forensic field
  • Skilled in working with a diverse population, including women, men, couples, and families
  • Specialized focus in substance abuse disorder, forensics, and mental health
