I am an accomplished therapist and client advocate with over twenty years of counseling and supervisory experience in the mental health field. I am dedicated to serving individuals that have issues with mental illness, addiction, relationship issues, trauma, and other emotional struggles. Clients report that my work as a therapist and advocate has helped them feel a sense of trust, compassion, and understanding. I strive to provide a safe space that helps clients nurture a different state of mind.

My goal & passion is to value all walks of life & experiences! I know it can be difficult to seek help, the idea of counseling can freak some people out. However, if you're looking here, you're halfway there. The impact of trauma, stigma toward mental health, addictions, the LGBTQ+ community, infidelity can reinforce dysfunctional coping, self-loathing and sometimes self-harm. It can keep people stuck. I understand this on a personal and professional level. Therapy's not easy and not the most ideal at times, but can help if you team up with someone who will earn your trust. I want to help those who want and need support

We all go through difficult times. Sometimes we go through circumstances that put us in emotional crucibles that need to be nurtured, explored and worked through. Are you feeling overwhelmed or dominated by a circumstance in your life?

I specialize working with individuals and families in transition. I also have significant experience working with individuals that have issues with addictions, depression, anxiety, and spiritual conflict.

I have genuine empathy and compassion for individuals, marriages, children and families that are hurting. My practice was established for the purpose of restoring and sustaining wholeness in the lives of all people.

This mission is accomplished in an environment that is grace filled, secure, caring, confidential, professional, and respectful of each person's life journey. I offer my services to all who seek personal and relational wholeness

For two years I worked as a case manager for both adolescents and adults. In the past year my focus has been mostly on working with adolescents directly as well as conducting numerous family sessions in a School-Based Therapy setting.

You are ready for your mind and body to be at rest in this chaotic world and for your youthful, expressive and creative nature to once again flourish.

Hi Everyone! Thanks for taking time to reading through my profile. I help frazzled people get their lives back. I work most often with disconnected couples, restless entrepreneurs, and anxious adults. When I entered this profession, I realized that everyone on the planet needs a safe place to go where they can be completely themselves...and say anything. At times we need to chat with someone who's not part of our family or friend circles, someone with training and skills to navigate through confusing thoughts, emotions, relationships, careers, and matters of faith.

I specialize in treating trauma and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) using the modality of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) with a background in marriage and family therapy.

Lastly, I am certified in PREPARE/ENRICH for premarital counseling. Check out my website for more details at www.tscounseling.com.
