Design the life YOU want to live!

About Me

I have always had a strong desire to build up and encourage others to live their lives in a full and happy way. Through working with non-profit organizations I further fueled that passion and enhanced my skills working with battered and abused young women, small groups, teaching, and mentoring. As this love for people grew, I realized it was time to switch gears and further develop those helping skills, so I enrolled at Walden University and began to dive into the world of counseling.

While I am well-versed in a variety of counseling approaches and methods, I tend to approach counseling from a cognitive and behavioral as well as emotion-focused manner. Our thoughts, behaviors, and reactions, can be used as powerful tools to enhance our quality of life.  Likewise, emotions don't just appear out of nowhere, they come from somewhere and they show up in various areas of our lives for different reasons.  Each feeling is valid and you are allowed to feel the way that you feel.  It's amazing how powerful that permission can be for us if we just let ourselves feel.  That can often be the first step to figuring out what is causing that feeling and where it comes from. 

Life is an incredible journey that can sometimes feel overwhelming. I want to work with you and come alongside you for the journey, developing healthy patterns that will empower you to live a rich and full life.  I'm so excited to meet you and chat with you.  Let's design the life that you want to live!
