Practical Balance & Understanding, LLC

Someone once said that it’s good to be loved but profound to be understood. Imagine creating relationships with the people that YOU love where you felt not only loved, but understood.  It is powerful to feel that our loved ones understand us, but it is also powerful to have a profound understanding of ourselves.  

I believe that once we have a better understanding of ourselves, we can work to make changes to live a Happier and Healthier Life.

I believe in finding balance. Your balance may look different than someone else’s, and that is OK.  We live in a world of unrealistic daily demands and distractions, and this makes finding our balance difficult.  As we experience life transitions our individual “balance” is ever changing and evolving.

In my practice, I utilize a Person-Centered, Trauma-Informed approach. I believe that our past is part of who we are today, and understanding how our past has affected us, can help us grow for the future.  I believe that Life is a Journey of continued Growth.  I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable exploring this.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor In Training that enjoys working with a wide variety of people.   This includes adults, college-aged adults, adolescents, and children.  I do both individual and couples sessions.
