Change happens one decision at a time. If you are feeling hopeless, confused, frustrated, stuck, or stressed, I can help. Most of my clients see me because they are experiencing stress, depression, anxiety, or relational/marital conflict. Others see me to gain insight and understanding to a life transition or temporary problem. I provide a safe and warm environment for my clients to feel validated, understood, encouraged, and hopeful. I use evidence-based and goal-directed treatments. I am passionate about working with people to reach their potential and flourish. Therapy within a Christian framework is offered upon request.

*Accepting new clients* Vulnerability. It's a word that sounds all motivating and "Hell yeah!" when Brene Brown talks about it, but when it comes to actually DOING it, it terrifies you. In order to get to the root of what's causing your discomfort, I'm going to ask you to get vulnerable. I'm going to ask you to share your story (no, the real story) with me. But you don't have to do it alone. I want to help you move from SURIVING to THRIVING. I want you to FINALLY start living the life you've imagined. It doesn't have to be "someday". It can be now. And I can help.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents, families, and adults (preschool-age 80+). I am fortunate to have helped individuals over the past 20+ years as they strive to overcome life's challenges and access life's joys. While a variety of therapy techniques that I am trained in can be of value, clients and I select the ones that they find to be most helpful to them personally. I primarily see clients who are experiencing depression, anxiety, divorce, school/work and family problems, ADHD, Autism, childhood issues, and processing past traumatic or stressful life events.

*Accepting new clients* The human mind is a wonderful (terrifying, intense) thing. So this is scary, right? The idea of actually INVITING someone into your brain instead of continuing to avoid everything like you have been. But that hasn't been working. And while it's safe, it's not fulfilling or true LIVING--it's pure survival. And it's probably why you're here. Sometimes, in order to heal, we need to lean into discomfort and work with our shame and resentment. But arriving authentically means we can REALLY dig into the stuff that's been holding you back. And I'm here to walk with you, through it, rather than around it.

**Currently Accepting New Clients.** My goal is to help you function at your optimal potential and live a life that is authentic, genuine, and aligns with your personal values. Our behavior and perception of ourselves is influenced by our individual history, relationships, and how we make sense of our lives. Difficult situations face all of us. Gaining awareness and understanding of our challenges is part of the dynamic process toward change that can occur in counseling. We can work together to help develop skills to help you cope and manage through life's challenges.

Life can be very stressful, and different things may bring someone to therapy. I provide a safe place to explore and learn, as I offer my compassion and support through your journey. I have a lot of experience with stress and/or trauma, as well as relationship issues. I tend to be gentle, compassionate, offer solutions and homework assignments, but realize deep down you have the answers, and are hard wired to heal under the right circumstances. I see primarily individuals and couples due to my schedule being strictly daytime (business hours)

I work best with couples who wish to address and explore issues related to emotion regulation, conflict and distress, personality difficulties and communication. In my practice, I have seen depressed and bipolar adults and people with personality issues or disorders for over 15 years.

You're likely here because your life isn't quite where you'd like it to be. You feel isolated, disconnected and frustrated. You're struggling with relationships. You're finding yourself reliving old patterns that are causing you pain. You've been trying to solve everything on your own but you're feeling stuck. You really need a space where you can talk through ALL of the jumbled up thoughts and feelings inside, because you're starting to feel like a pressure cooker. "I am a failure." "I have nothing to offer." "I can't change." ...Do these sound familiar?
