My approach to helping my clients includes providing a safe emotional space, empathy, understanding how thoughts impact our feelings and behavior and implementing mindfulness to promote positive change. Whether it is individual therapy for yourself, couples therapy to strengthen a relationship, or family therapy to make home a healthier emotional environment, I can help you work through issues that may have been simmering for years. Even small changes in thinking and perspective along with learning appropriate communication and life skills can make a joyful difference.

As a parent, I'm sure you already know that little kids can come with some big challenges. From temper tantrums to power struggles, between dealing with hitting, kicking, screaming, crying - all of these things can leave you overwhelmed and at your wit's end. Or, maybe things are fairly peaceful between you and your child, but you want to make the most of those precious, early years and strengthen the bond the two of you already share. Or, maybe all of the above! When it comes to tackling the mental health problems of the preschool years, I can help you and your child get back to what really matters: playing, growing and learning.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety and panic disorders and mild to moderate OCD, as well as trauma and depression. My experience tells me that these conditions are highly treatable with the right approach. My primary method is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which is a proven evidence based treatment for these problems. I am also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Cognitive Processing Therapy for the treatment of trauma. My style is direct, supportive and goal oriented with emphasis on what the client wants to work on. I use humor as well!

We are all presented with challenges. Do you wish for a more satisfying life? Do you wish you could more easily use your potential, feel better about yourself, feel less stressed, and meet your goals? Then my services could be for you.

As a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist, I work with individual, couples, and families seeking therapy who may be going through grief, depression, anxiety or a distressed relationship. In our therapy sessions you will be able to speak openly, honestly in a non judgmental safe environment. The modalities used in session are the Gottman Theory, Solution Focused, CBT and EMDR for clients who experienced trauma. For couples seeking Pre Martial Counseling I am a certified Prepare/Enrich Facilitator.

I am passionate about helping individuals manage their mental health so that they can experience peace in their lives and relationships. I received my doctorate in family science and a master's degree in marriage and family therapy from the University of Kentucky. I have a strong background in improving mental health and well-being in the context of relationships. Many people define themselves and their family members in a limited way, often forgetting the vast potential that each person embodies. Each person is different, with a unique background and set of circumstances. Therefore, therapy should not be "one size fit all."

Self compassion is vital for change. My goal is to help you master this difficult skill to help support you in loving and being your best self. With over thirteen years in the mental health field and almost a lifetime of focusing on personal growth, I have learned the hard way that no change comes without having a positive relationship with yourself. If you are willing to commit, I can help you develop that relationship with yourself and alter any unhealthy thought, behavioral, or relationship patterns that are keeping you stuck. Together we can tap into your intuition, use your strengths and cultivate skills needed for growth.

Every person is unique in their own way, and so are their problems. Therapy is a special journey for every individual and couple. I am here to successfully guide you through the process. I strive to help individuals and couples break free from their feelings of despair, dissatisfaction, and dismay and gain or regain a sense of control, peace, and wholeness. My philosophy is to work jointly with the client and identify the best strategy to meet their present needs.

I am fortunate and profoundly grateful to have found my passion (which also happens to be my career) in supporting people across the lifespan - children, teens, adults and families through struggles and challenges due to chronic medical conditions, anxiety, trauma, grief, parenting that our lives and our chaotic world present. I use an eclectic approach rooted in neuroscience and relational neurobiology to meet you where you are with what works for you.

Are thoughts of retirement or making career changes bringing up fear and angst for you? Have you recently become a caregiver for a loved one who is struggling with a chronic illness or have you been diagnosed with a life-threatening chronic illness and are still coming to terms with it? Are you struggling with a relationship loss or a death loss? As we go through life we undergo so many transitions- some planned and some unplanned. If you need a safe space to explore how these transitions are affecting you then I may be the professional for you.

Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. I offer a safe and comfortable environment to identify and relieve obstacles or distress by providing tools to progress toward self-actualization and build healthy relationships. As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life

My goal is to help you understand the current way you view your life, relationships, and identify a healthier balance. I began counseling 20 years ago as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor working with individuals to help them overcome physical and emotional challenges in the work place. Helping clients achieve these goals shifted my journey towards Marriage and Family Therapy. Sometimes, we find ourselves in a difficult place, possibly feeling overwhelmed, experiencing an addiction, or struggles within our relationships. I want to work with individuals towards creating a more authentic and spiritually wholesome life for themselves.
