Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - LPCC

I assist young adults create positive change in their lives and find new solutions to their unhelpful patterns. My clients often feel “stuck”, struggle to find a purpose in life, feel stressed, have a hard time saying “no” to others, feel like they can’t ever turn their brains off, and sometimes have a hard time expressing to others how they feel. After counseling my clients often feel relieved and empowered to make shifts in their physical, cognitive and emotional lives that often leads to a happier and healthier life. I am trained to help you become more aware of your emotional responses to the challenges life brings and help you recognize problematic relational patterns and new ways to approach difficult scenarios. This awareness will create new opportunities for learning and more adaptive ways of relating to others and coping with life’s stressors. Through the counseling process with me, you can start to feel more connected, capable of dealing with the challenges of adulthood, empowered to make decisions and follow through on plans that reflect your renewed sense of self and purpose.
