My belief: when one door closes, a window opens! Everything happens for a reason, but often, we have trouble understanding why!

Helping you find your personal strengths to create your happiest self!

I approach therapy with compassion, awareness, and work to create a space for you to process through your identified needs and goals. In this field it is a privelege to walk alongside those experiencieng depression, anxiety, loss, trauma, boundary issues, and relational difficulties. I work with adults, couples, families, young adults 18+.

NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME. Our lives are made up of moments, both pleasant and unpleasant. The unpleasant moments don't have to overshadow the pleasant ones. My job as a therapist is to assist you in identifying your goals and help you find ways to achieve them, offering support and validation along the way. Life is a journey, not a destination.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, relational issues and single sexuality struggles. My desire is to help my clients grow emotionally, spiritually and behaviorally from a Christian perspective. I have a passion working alongside individuals who desire to bring new life to themselves and their relationships and help them experience healthy growth. I also specialize in assisting individuals, as well as singles, in sexuality concerns and struggles from a Christian framework.

Making a decision to share intimate details about your personal challenges can be a difficult decision, but if I'm honest, we have all had challenges. Our challenges come to empower us, strengthen us, and to place our lives in order. At "Empowered To Live Counseling" I would be honored to join you and share in discovering the wisdom and strength that lies within you.

I love working with children and their families. I have experience working with abuse, neglect, anxiety, depression, and attachment problems. I use a wide variety of techniques with the individuals I work with.

I believe that everyone is on their own personal journey. There are times along this journey when we feel overwhelmed by pressures surrounding us. My goal is to join with you, and through individualizing treatment find a calmness in the storm. Parenting is one of the most rewarding and challenging task you'll have the opportunity to experience. There are times when the joy of parenting has eluded us. I partner with parents and children to regain this joy and experience the amazing blessings that these relationships can bring.

My philosophy of therapy is holistic, meaning I believe people are made up of many parts (mind, body, and spirit) and interact in many different environments. These parts are not independent of one another but work together. I am a Christian. I believe we are created for relationships. We know ourselves in the context of our relationships. Healing occurs through restoring relationships and refining our interactions within those relationships. My approach to therapy is from a systemic perspective. People work in relational systems and each person in the relationship is important to the balance of the whole system.

In these times of difficulty, I am offering to talk virtually with individuals who are struggling with coping with life's changes. This can be a one time consult or short term coaching. I also have 20+ years experience evaluating students (ages 5 to adult) for ADHD, dyslexia, learning disabilities, giftedness, and developmental delays--having tested over 4000 individuals. I take a conservative approach to making and treating diagnoses, focusing on determining how the student learns best and giving practical suggestions for parents and teachers.

The therapist-client relationship is unique and powerful, carrying with it the potential for profound meaning and change. I am continually humbled and inspired by the strength and resiliency of my clients. It is my goal as a therapist to meet you where you are at in life, join you in your healing process and help you experience a new relationship to yourself and to those in your life.

Do you feel you are being heard? We all have times where we need to work through the "stuff" of life and I believe it is so important for you to be able to share your story. I will collaborate with you to form a treatment plan suitable to your specific needs. In our sessions, I will provide client-centered, evidence-based therapy. As we discover your strengths and improve those weaknesses (and we all have them) a sense of healing and being able to move forward becomes a reality.

Do you feel overwhelmed, hopeless, and like your world is crashing in? Your mind filled with negative thoughts? I'm never going to be happy. I'm never going to have the life I want. Are you stuck and feeling misunderstood? Is it as if your relationships are on the brink of disaster and you cannot figure out which way is up or how to take a step forward? If any of this resonates with you, you are not alone.

SHORT TERM OR LONG TERM TREATMENT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE. Are you looking for a safe place to talk/vent to someone OR short term guidance to living a healthier mental and physical life OR are you looking to really dig into the root of your mental health symptoms to resolve your current and past struggles? Any of these options are open to you while working with me as your therapist. We can work towards assessing your needs and your goals for therapy and come up with the plan that would benefit you currently in the stage of of life and desire to change. Christian counseling is available to those who are seeking this as well.

Do you feel like all the pieces are falling apart? Have life transitions caused you to feel completely unsteady? Are you experiencing an inner battle where who you are and who you wish to be, are in conflict? Do you carry shame, trauma, and secrets so deeply and feel unsafe exploring and healing these parts? Do you live an alternative lifestyle (LGBTQIA, Poly, Kink, BDSM) and do not know where to turn, to process the dynamics of your relationships, passions, and trauma? Is living life authentically a goal you wish to achieve? Can you imagine loving yourself completely as you are, without concern for how others view you?

Hard things happen in all our lives. Some by our own choosing and some very much not. In any of these moments, we often need someone else to guide us through as we rediscover our own strengths. I believe that therapy is a great step no matter how large or small you might consider your reasons for considering therapy.

At times, stressful situations can cause anxious or depressive thoughts, or a negative view of self, which can impact your outlook and how you are interacting with others. You may feel overwhelmed and need assistance in working things out. Reaching out can be difficult, however, taking that step can lead to real opportunities for growth and acceptance. Therapy can be helpful in dealing with many issues, such as: low self-esteem, relationships and emotional boundaries, grief and loss, career changes, or caregiver burnout.
