I believe we all desire to live freely, love fully, be our real, true selves, and become our best selves. I want that for myself, and I want that you. But this earth we inhabit is a broken place, and life is messy and complicated. Relationships can be tricky too. Understanding and managing our own emotions, while trying to live with, and care for others and their stuff, often seems like an impossible endeavor. We all struggle with something or someone sometime, and there is no good reason to face yours alone. Life cannot be done on our own - it is too complex. We need others, others need us, and we all need GOD.

Our many experiences in life shape the way we think about ourselves and the world around us. We use these shaped thoughts to make decisions and form relationships. Many times they are healthy rational thoughts, but at times we fall into an unhealthy irrational pattern that can create chaos in our lives.

Do you find yourself repeating the same unhealthy behaviors and relationship choices? Having difficulty navigating parenting? Struggling with healthy boundaries and self-care? Is your emotional tank nearly empty? Many times, these difficulties correspond to our personal life stories, upbringing, and past experiences. What's your story? How does it show up in your relationships, behaviors, eating patterns, and even your mood? One of my primary focus areas is Emotional Neglect, as coined by Dr. Jonice Webb. Let me help you identify the invisible wounds, or what was NOT there for you during your childhood. Together, we'll consider the connection between emotions, behavior, & relationships.

I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families on a wide range of personal and family-adjustment concerns. Some people have a clear idea of the problem at the outset. Others simply feel troubled and are having difficulty coping with daily challenges. In all cases, I begin with a close consideration of what is known about the difficulty and of factors that may have contributed to its development. In doing so, I encourage a spirit of collaboration in identifying a treatment focus that includes utilization of personal strengths and capabilities necessary to reestablish a better sense of overall wellbeing.
