My areas of expertise
My clientele present a wide range of concerns, with more common issues including anxiety, depression, and ADHD, to more complex issues, such as: PTSD, trauma, addictions, and problematic sexual behaviors.
I am dedicated to helping clients discover the root causes of their anxiety and depression, cope and control ADHD symptoms, restrain and manage anger, recover from trauma, overcome addictions, and redirect problematic sexual behaviors.
My goal is to equip you with the tools and insights for lasting change.
Depression, Anxiety & Anger Management
Depression and anxiety can affect far more than your mood. They can interfere with work, relationships, motivation, sleep, confidence, and your ability to enjoy your life. Anger can destroy relationships and create destructive situations that could cost you more than it feels in the moment.
Therapy can help you recognize the thought patterns and underlying experiences contributing to emotional distress. Let me help you develop healthier ways of responding.
Treating the root cause, not just symptoms
Instead of merely addressing surface-level symptoms, my counseling approach focuses on uncovering the underlying issues that have shaped your life's journey and how you maneuver through it.
Relationship Difficulties
The experiences you've had can influence how you connect with other people.
You may find yourself struggling with trust, communication, intimacy, boundaries, conflict, jealousy, emotional availability, or repeated relationship patterns.
Together, we can explore where those patterns come from and work toward healthier, more secure ways of relating to yourself and others.
Who I help the most often
I find immense satisfaction in working with adults, families, and couples facing complex emotional and behavioral issues.
For families, I help establish productive communication, clear expectations, boundaries, and consequences.
For couples, I foster deeper connection, encourage exploration of differences to strengthen the marriage, and rekindle intimacy in conversations and actions.
Individuals learn to recognize emotions and behaviors, gaining coping skills, organization strategies, life skills, and effective ways to modify their behaviors.
Unresolved Childhood Trauma
Sometimes the past doesn't stay in the past.
Childhood experiences can continue influencing your relationships, emotional reactions, self-image, decision-making, and ability to trust yourself or others.
We can work together to identify the beliefs and patterns you developed when you were young—especially the ones that may have helped you survive then but are creating difficulties now.
Problematic Sexual Behaviors
I also provide specialized therapeutic services for individuals who have engaged in problematic or inappropriate sexual behaviors.
Treatment focuses on accountability, understanding the factors that contributed to the behavior, identifying patterns and risk factors, developing healthier coping and relationship skills, and reducing the likelihood of future problematic behavior.
As a Licensed Sex Offender Treatment Provider (LSOTP), I provide specialized treatment for individuals who require or seek professional services related to sexual offending, problematic sexual behavior, and sexual behavior concerns.
Transformative outcomes for a better life
It is my purpose to help my client experience significant positive changes. Couples establish respectful and deeper communication, learn empathy, grow closer through understanding, and confidently ask for their needs. Families clarify roles, create effective expectations and consequences for children, and foster closer bonds through understanding and positive interactions. Individuals organize their lives, reclaim self-esteem, unpack trauma to heal from pain, and recognize unhealthy coping skills, self-sabotaging behaviors, and destructive choices to build a healthier future.
