Depression & Anxiety
Depression, anger, stress and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that can be experienced at any given time in life. My goal is to help you effectively deal with said emotions to prevent them from overwhelming you and allow you to control them instead. Through counseling and treatment, you and I are able to restore your motivation, gain a new perspective and begin anew.

If this is not suitable, the parties can remain as a unit the entire time. The process is client -centered.

Military Sexual Trauma/Sexual Assault
As a survivor of Military Sexual Assault, it became my motivation to overcome the anger and hatred that was embedded deep within me that I was unable to obtain help for from any other Mental Health provider in my past, In so doing, I was able to heal myself from the inside out and now am able to do the same for others to assist them in becoming VICTORIOUS instead of having a Victim mindset as I once did.
