It is often difficult to admit when things are not working in our lives, but admitting it is the first step in changing it. Whether you are struggling in coping with a newly diagnosed illness, with the challenges of being a mom, or picking yourself up after a separation or divorce, I can help you with life’s transitions. I consider the whole person in determining the best approaches to meeting your treatment goals, and getting you back to you. My specialty is in providing services related to women’s issues, crisis and trauma, sexual assault and child abuse, chronic illness, and separation and divorce. My therapeutic approach incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused, and person-centered, but every effort is made to determine what is best for the client. My motivation for working in this field came as a result of struggling for many years with a chronic illness myself, and feeling there were very few who understood what I was going through or could help. I had to learn how to balance family, friends, school and work, not allow my illness to take over my life, or become my only identity. I was a person first, not my illness. Now I am healthy and want to help others get through their growing pains. For the last 16 years, I have been working in the mental health field in various capacities. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Human Relations, a Masters of Arts in Community Counseling, a graduate certificate in Forensic Mental Health, and am a Licensed Professional Counselor. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief/loss, trauma or relationship issues, please give me the opportunity to assist you.
