I like to meet people where they are at and help them develop the skills they need to in order to feel better or be well. I have been described by colleagues as " having an uncanny ability to think outside the box to meet people where they are at without judgement." I utilize cognitive behavioral techniques, Motivational Interviewing, and other evidenced based practices, but overall i listen and help where help is needed and wanted. Choosing a counselor is often times a hard task to accomplish, I am truly grateful when someone chooses to trust me to guide them on their personal journey. When I'm not helping others, i enjoy reading, writing, and being creative. I'm a mom to two boys who are always on the go and an avid bargain\ flea market hunter. My family and I enjoy home improvement, and are sometimes actually pretty good at it :) I like to have fun, make people laugh, and just enjoy the moments. I look forward to getting to know you better and potentially helping you achieve your goals.

You lie awake at night analyzing every mistake you’ve ever made. You wake up, and can’t fall back to sleep because the thought of tomorrow is overwhelming. You’re distracted during the day because all of the things you have to do are running through your head. Your sink is full of dishes, laundry is piled up, and you just can’t find the motivation to clean. You’re constantly waiting until the last minute to do things. You can’t seem to find consistency in your life. You feel alone, even if you’re surrounded by people. You’re irritable. You cancel plans with friends. You feel lost. You want to find your purpose in life. You’re thinking about therapy with the hope it will help you feel less stressed about everyday life. That it will help you find purpose and peace. When you wake up you will feel confident about your day because you have the tools to handle whatever you may face. You’ll no longer be paralyzed by the need to be “perfect.” Not only do I have experience in guiding people to accomplish those goals, I truly understand how you feel. I look forward to working with you.
