As a Psychologist, I am committed to helping individuals, couples and their families live life to their fullest as God intended! I believe that much of counseling is helping people see the price they are paying to protect themselves from past pain. That cost; joy and fulfillment.

Sometimes we can find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or alone. Therapy can help you navigate making changes to achieve a more fulfilling and joyful life. I will work with you to identify and work towards your goals by highlighting your strengths and encouraging personal growth through encouragement and constructive feedback. I am passionate about supporting my clients in building healthy relationships, especially with themselves. I provide clients with a compassionate space in which they are able to comfortably explore their concerns.

My therapeutic approach is incorporating interventions and strategies from CBT, Play Therapy, and other modalities. I utilize a strengths-based approach and provide a non-judgmental stance within the treatment that I provide. I promote creativity within sessions and value holding a strong rapport with my clients throughout treatment. By building a trust with clients, progress can be made from healthy communication. I incorporate emotional identification and regulation within my treatment. My treatment is custom to each client and family's needs as each child holds different strengths and areas of improvement.

My individual and group services focus on adults and adolescents struggling with substance use issues, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, stress reduction, and transitional/life challenges. This is not stuffy therapy.

Being human is complicated. Together, we’ll find the peace of mind you're looking for, and we’ll restore, repair, or rebuild your relationships. We’ll practice empathy, vulnerability, and engagement. Sometimes, life can feel like a series of constant transitions and detours, and even positive changes can feel unsettling, while we also feel desperate for meaningful change. Daily life can feel unmanageable or unendurable, and if so, we'll shift things to make life easier. With empathy and enthusiasm, we’ll work together to create the sustainable change you're looking for.

Many people need more from their relationships, their work, or their every day life. If this is you, you are not alone. Let's work together to untangle the complexities of family experiences, trauma, and those "stuck" feelings. We'll craft a personalized plan for your growth, focusing on your needs every step of the way.

My focus is on non-judgmental, positive personal strength and resilience in resolving conflict and trauma. I work extensively with individuals who have experienced trauma in their childhood and adult lives and subsequently live with residual traumatic stress disorders, anxiety, and depression. I also best assist people afflicted with mood disorders, including bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, panic disorder, social phobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder,and health problems e.g. chronic pain. A significant aspect of my practice is relational therapy; marriage can be far more demanding than either partner. My goal is to live in the present intentionally, and happily.

We are living in challenging times where we can benefit from support. With a caring interactive approach I help clients unhook from past emotional habit patterns to create more fulfilling relationships and a happier life. --Through a greater sense of self-awareness, release of past pain, and application of technique, clients can: *Overcome depression, anxiety and low self esteem to express greater confidence and creativity *Reduce anger and conflict to improve communication and build stronger relationships. *Heal past issues, fears, hurts, and mistrust to achieve true intimacy and commitment.

My therapeutic style is a holistic approach of understanding the mind, body, and spirit connection by incorporating Internal Family Systems (IFS) strategies when necessary. I foster self-awareness and motivation within my clients, and support emotional understanding, which allow you to manifest growth and change. I am transparent and will appropriately self-disclose to help you through a “stuck” place and gain valuable insight into yourself. My work demonstrates a passion for people and their healing journeys, and I will support you in making a connection with yourself while restoring joy to life’s wonderful gifts.

I am excited to work with individuals who are ready for change, whether it is managing anxiety, improving relationships, developing practical self-care skills, or even figuring out what the next step is!

Have you noticed a change in yourself or a loved one lately? It can happen to all of us. Worry, stress, negative thoughts and fear have a way of weighing us down and holding us back. But, you deserve more. In this ever-changing world it's important, now more than ever before, to understand what to pay attention to and what to let go of. However, with so much uncertainty surrounding us this can be a challenge. Let's talk. Together, through a proactive and strength-based approach, we will explore how you can regain the power and control needed to address and remove the mental barriers that are holding you back.

I strive to support and guide my clients in navigating their social and emotional wellness journeys. I use a compassionate strengths-based, person-centered approach focused on nurturing the mind, body, and spirit. My primary specialties focus on anxiety, stress management, self-esteem, women's issues, and perinatal support. I utilize a trauma-informed, mindfulness-based, client-centered and cognitive behavioral therapeutic approach.

My mission is to create a climate that empowers my clients to deal with any problems they are seeking treatment for. I believe that every client enters treatment with his or her own unique problems and strengths. Therefore my main focus is treating every client with a non-judgmental accepting approach.

Lots of people feel stuck and aren’t sure which direction they should go. I know it can often feel difficult to take the first step and start therapy. Some may find it scary or believe there is not enough time; but the truth is, when we need to focus on ourselves the most, we often find ourselves prioritizing others- our children, friends, family members or loved ones. Some of us can pour ourselves into others and get lost in them, but at the same time we also need care. There will always be perceived barriers to slowing down and meeting our own needs. Your needs are important. Please take time to focus on yourself also.

My approaches include: 1) working toward understanding how your life experiences have come together to bring about your current thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and life circumstances; 2) using concrete and structured homework assignments to help you achieve your goals, resolve relationship issues, find greater happiness, and develop greater control over anxiety, depression, or anger; 3) discussing philosophical and existential aspects of life as they relate to your concerns; 4) providing support and empathy when life brings you hardship or pain; and 5) helping you to articulate your needs, desires, and goals, and to develop plans and solutions to help you satisfy them.

I have experience working with children, ages 11 and up, families, and adults to address trauma, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, stress, and parent/child conflict. My professional experience includes in-home behavioral health therapy and crisis intervention in an emergency room setting.

Trying to ‘do it all’ can be exhausting. And, even while feeling successful, it’s easy to get worn down and feel like we aren’t living as fully as we’d like. Life is hard and relationships are complicated. You deserve the opportunity to find happiness and fulfillment. Therapy creates an opportunity for you to take time for yourself, to think through what you want to be different, and to fix what’s not working. For years, I have worked successfully with individuals, couples, and families to help them increase satisfaction and reconnect in ways that they’ve been missing.

Life can be a series of ups and downs. I believe that learning to find space for both is key to navigating life’s journey. I find true joy in helping individuals navigate the in-between while gaining understanding of the twists and turns. A strong therapeutic relationship is essential to a human beings’ growth and discovery through the therapeutic process. That is about meeting others in the field of honesty and vulnerability, connecting beyond what is said and sharing what is deep within. My goal is to create a safe space where exploration and growth are possible.
