Nothing has been the same since that terrible event. In a moment, your life was split into two parts: before and after. It's already taken so much from you and affects everything you do. Physically, you're breaking down. Sleep is next to impossible, and you can't remember when you didn't have a splitting tension headache. You're always on edge, ready for the next threat to present itself. You never know how you're going to react from one moment to the next. And the more you fight for control, the less you have. You long for a life of peace, free from the constant despair. But you just don't know how to get it. It feels hopeless.

I use a very eclectic approach in which I am engaged and actively involved in the therapeutic process. I ask lots of questions. I invite my patients to move away from self-judgment and to be truly curious about themselves and their lives. We look together at patterns of functioning, at assumptions about the self, at how the present reflects the past. The goal is authenticity and the path is self-awareness.

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalms 147:3 Good day and welcome!

I have over 25-years of experience working with adults, adolescents, and children within agencies and the community environment. I find it a pleasure to serve families or individuals who are challenged with life stress, grief issues, abandonment, adjustment disorders, depression, and mental health needs etc. Therefore, I strive for quality service to ensure positive results. However, it is important for me to reflect, listen, and communicate to make sure that I have a clear understanding of my client’s needs.

I have 20 years of experience working with children and adolescents in multiple domains. Some domains would include schools, homes, summer camps, after school programs, childcares, churches, and group homes. My passion is working with children and their families to reconnect and build healthy interpersonal relationships. Although my passion is working with children and adolescents, I also enjoy working with single adults, as well as couples. My motto is “It takes a village” and working together as a team to achieve reasonable and practical goals will build a healthier and stronger you/family.
