At times, we all need extra support and guidance. Seeking help is a sign of strength, and counseling can provide a path toward healing, balance, and a healthier, more fulfilling life.

I am a Counselor with Total Life Counseling. I work with individuals at various stages of life who are navigating mental health challenges, trauma, life transitions, and personal struggles. I also have experience supporting individuals with Intellectual Impairments and other disabilities, as well as the families and support systems who care for them.

My approach to counseling is compassionate, collaborative, and individualized to meet each client’s unique needs. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which help clients recognize patterns of thinking, challenge unhelpful beliefs, develop healthier coping skills, and create meaningful change.

I also utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients process and heal from traumatic or distressing life experiences. Mindfulness practices are incorporated to support emotional regulation, self-awareness, and overall well-being.

For clients who desire it, I offer a faith-based approach that honors spirituality as part of the healing journey. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can grow, heal, and move toward becoming the healthiest version of themselves.
