I believe it is important for clients to find a counselor that fits their personality. I combine effective research based approaches with a warm, friendly, southern personality.

Life is hard and we all face challenges that can feel too big to handle on our own. Luckily you don't have to walk through these challenges alone.
Let's be real, sometimes life gets in the way of living! There are just time when life is not always the way we want or thought it would be.
People keep saying that you are so strong, but you don't want to be strong and you definitely don’t feel strong. You know you have people around you that love you and also you feel alone. You want to believe that you’ll find yourself again. If you’re losing hope that you can manage all the things in your life, counseling can help!
I work with adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted by anxiety, depression, trauma, or difficult life transitions. Many of the clients I support struggle with boundaries, relationship patterns, shame, or fear of repeating past experiences, even when they’re highly insightful and self-aware.
