Adverse Childhood Experiences are common. According to the CDC, about 61% of adults surveyed reported they experienced at least one traumatic event before the age of 18. Therapy is one of many tools that can be used to help prevent the long lasting impacts of trauma. That’s where I come in.

"Obstacles don’t have to stop you if you run into a wall. Don’t turn around and give up, figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” Every person has the ability to reach beyond the limits of what is possible, and we only reach these limits by working through them until we go beyond them into the impossible. Each step we take can move us towards achieving those goals.

BrainPower is committed to improving the health and well-being of children, youth, and families affected by developmental and behavioral disorders. We offer state of the art clinical evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment for children and youth with known or suspected developmental delays or disabilities. Our mental health professionals have over 30 years of experience testing and treating children and have graduated from rigorous training programs in pediatric psychology, such as the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. We specialize in treating/assessing very young children and those with suspected diagnoses of autism, ADHD, anxiety, ODD, and severe behavioral concerns.

One of the most difficult things we can experience is in not knowing what comes next. Maybe you feel lost, confused, or broken - that some part of you is missing, and the daily struggle to keep it together for yourself or your loved ones feels impossibly overwhelming. Maintaining the obligations of family, work, and friendships can be so exhausting that it seems easier to avoid them altogether. Maybe you’ve considered therapy before, but thought it was too expensive, time consuming, or worry you might be seen as "weak." But how would it feel to find yourself again? To stop, catch your breath, and learn to find peace among the chaos?

As a therapist, I am most excited to see clients motivated to explore their unknown strengths, widen their horizons, increase their abilities to make informed decisions and lead a life of meaning as they define it. Everyone I have worked with brings to therapy a foundation upon which to grow. Regardless of the problem, an enhanced sense of self is possible. Instilling hope of something better in life is one of my greatest motivations, and assisting others in achieving their goals drew me to this profession.

I specialize in helping those with anxiety, depression, & relationship issues. Whether it is a relational, work, school, or family issue, talking about it with someone often aids in clarity and change. I want to help those individuals/families who are struggling to make sense of the chaos, look for understanding insight, and make those changes that will help them to start feeling more hopeful and excited about life again.

Every hero's journey includes guidance as they are growing and transforming to who they want to become. Your child is a hero that is fighting through uncharted territories in our culture and society and he or she might be continuing to fight battles with depression, anxiety, anger, or ADHD. Through struggle is how battles are won, confidence is created, and heroes are forged but they do not have to fight this alone. If you are searching for new perspective to address behavioral issues, tools to reduce anxiety, or just looking for guidance in parenting then give me a call.

Sometimes therapists are called the "wounded healers" because from their own life experiences they have decided to help people. I am proud to be one of those therapists. I have had a wealth of life experiences and losses and can truly empathize with my clients. I have experience in many areas of Social Work; including housing homeless people, coordinating adoptions, and advocating for pre-adjudicated youth. As a Clinical Therapist, I have worked in Home Based Therapy, Community, Residential, and Addiction. I firmly believe that these varied populations and organizations have enriched my integrative approach to therapy.

Are you feeling run-down, overwhelmed, or numb? Do you feel 'just blah' most of the time? This is such a painful experience, and you are not alone. We are conditioned as children to do and be what we are 'supposed to,' and this can become destructive to our mental health as adults.

“Life is a highway.” A song lyric, but a phrase that can ring so true for many. Life is a highway with twists, turns, hills, and valleys. Cars have extra seats for the ride, so who says you have to go through the journey alone? My goal is to assist you with learning to navigate the twists and turns in life in healthy and safe ways.

Life can be overwhelming sometimes, but you don’t have to navigate your healing journey alone! While making yourself vulnerable may seem scary, it is also one of the strongest indicators of courage. When faced with overwhelming emotions, it can feel comfortable to avoid those feelings; however, comfort and courage cannot exist at the same time.

One of the hardest things is feeling like we have hurt or disappointed those closest to us. It’s a struggle every day to keep relationships and even friendships going smoothly. We often disappoint ourselves, and life hasn’t always been what we hoped it would be. Maybe things look good on the surface but inside we feel like everyone else has it figured out while we barely keep it together. It doesn’t have to feel like this, and I can help you feel better through therapy. While in therapy with me you will definitely laugh, you might cry, and you will see changes in your life that you’ve wanted for a long time.

Are you dealing with issues related to anxiety, depression, relationship problems, or even trauma and abuse? I work with young adults, adult, individuals, and families dealing with painful or intense emotions, everyday problems and issues. Together we develop healthy coping skills to become successful in school, work, home, and society. Additionally, I can offer Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing- EMDR to engage your brain in the problem solving process.

I currently have office hours Mon-Thur 8am-4pm CT. The best way to contact me is via email or text message. When contacting me, you must give your name and phone number in order for me to respond.——————————Does your child ever seem different from others their age? Have you ever had difficulty trying to help your child communicate? Has your child lost what makes them uniquely special? I primarily work with families and children dealing with the symptoms of depression, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, and trauma, amongst many other difficulties they may face. I have helped many families get through difficult times or deal with challenging emotions.

It's easy to feel lost right now and to not know how to navigate life and everything that comes with it. You do not have to have everything figured out because sometimes the best thing you can do is to keep moving forward, but after doing it alone for too long, it becomes harder. Asking for help and starting therapy can be scary. Especially if you have never done it before or had a previous bad experience. My job as a therapist is to help you increase your inner-strength and navigate whatever overwhelming emotions that you are having.
