WHY WORK WITH A MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL? Slowing down, if even for an hour, and sharing your story with a professional may help start the process of gaining personal clarity and understanding.

You can learn to establish new ways of thinking, new behaviors, and an improved sense of direction. Your unique situation deserves to be explored as you experience it.

Most people face challenges in their lives and I believe sharing those difficulties with a professional counselor can be one of the best ways to overcome any obstacle. Whether the challenge is big or small, mental health therapy can help you find the answers you seek. Often, people just need to be heard and validated for their emotions or they want a sounding board off which to bounce possible decisions. Some might not want to share their thoughts and feelings with another person in their life for fear of being judged. Others may be dealing with concerns related to anxiety, depression, addiction, PTSD or women's issues. Whatever your reasons are for seeking therapy, I would like to walk with you on your journey to better mental and emotional health. My approach to therapy is person-centered, which means you have the power to find solutions that work best for you. You can expect me to listen and empower you to promote healing and change without judgement. Through a solution-focused lens, we will discover and use your strengths to accomplish your goals. In addition, I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) so that we can discover the relationships between your thoughts, feelings and behaviors and how these are contributing to any challenges you are facing today. My goal is to encourage you to become the best version of yourself in a judgment-free environment. On a personal note, I am a small business owner and clients from my Authentic Living Counseling practice will also use this platform. I am passionate about helping people overcome mental health and addiction issues by assisting them in achieving their personal goals. I look forward to meeting you.
