About this provider
Clients I Work With
I know life can be challenging and difficult to navigate. I had a client say, "life can be like pushing a pull door!" Does your life feel that way? Are anxiety, depression and self doubt getting in the way of you living life the way you want? Do you wish you had the confidence to get out of bed and feel good, the confidence to face the fear and worry? I want to help you gain insight, perspective and control so you can live a life you feel good about. I want to focus on your struggles today so you can focus on living your life tomorrow.

Beliefs & Lived Experience
I understand it’s difficult being a young person, I’ve been working with them since I was young. Assisting with programs at church, being in leadership with young people, teaching high school and subbing in elementary and working in group homes for abused/neglected children and teens. I focus on who the young person is and what they think and feel.
More About My Practice
Focused Counseling specializes in helping people overcome anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and addiction. We offer in-person and virtual sessions. We will help you reduce anxiety and depression in your first few sessions. During that time, we also teach you the tools needed to help you reduce future episodes of anxiety and depression. We do not believe that you need counseling forever. It is our goal to get you feeling the best you've ever felt, and then teach you how to stay that way. Learn about my dedication to your mental wellness journey. Get in touch!
