I am a 24-year educator and football coach who has brought all of those skills to counseling in order to help people. It is my life's mission to help those who are overwhelmed with life and cannot cope with the stress. I want to help those who live and work hard and sometimes (a lot of the time) take work home with them (you know who you are). I can bring you to better balance, and better life satisfaction.

Treatment Approach
- Adlerian Therapy Focuses on understanding a person’s sense of belonging and purpose. It helps people overcome feelings of inferiority and create healthier relationships.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.
- Light Therapy (Phototherapy) Uses exposure to bright light to regulate mood. It is best known for treating seasonal affective disorder (SAD).

Pharion Counseling, LLC is a therapy group that prides itself in the strong therapeutic alliances it creates with clients. When trust is established, the client is always at the center of the planning, nurturing and implementation of stress relieving therapies that bring the clients to a "better self." We will be "partners" in this better self!
I have always believed that focusing on self improvement and constantly working with the client towards becoming their "best selves" will ultimately bring them to a better understanding of how and why their brain works. When a client understands how their brain works, they can start calming their anxieties, lessening their depression, relieving their grief, and best of all - lowering their stress!
Clients take advantage of different levels of programs: weekly, bi-monthly, monthly - and all levels of attention are designed to both educate the client on the therapeutic process, and also progressively direct the client towards better help through their best selves!
