Anxious? Depressed? Angry? Frustrated or disappointed in your relationships? Struggling with daily life challenges or trying to sort out where to go from here? You have taken the first steps in addressing these issues by seeking support as you work toward growth. Using different strategies and techniques we will work together to help you understand the thoughts, feelings and behaviors you are experiencing, and identify your path.

It is absolutely possible to heal from complex trauma. Working with the right therapist can be transformative, and it is my privilege to help you explore the patterns, hardships, or relational issues keeping you stuck. Most of my clients come to me with histories of emotional abuse, difficult upbringings, or toxic romantic relationships. They often feel ashamed and insecure about these circumstances. Unpacking trauma is vulnerable, but the healing is profound. And whether it's your first time seeking treatment- or you've had therapy experiences in the past- I will strive to help you build a more authentic and meaningful life.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapist. I have a Master's in Marriage, Couple, and Family Counseling and a Master's in Early Childhood and Elementary Education, I taught for five years before joining the mental health profession. My experience as a mental health therapist involves working with clients of all ages, from preschool to adults, as well as with families, and couples.

I have worked with children and families for over 20 years. I have experience working with children and families experiencing stress, transitions, divorce, low self esteem, grief, suicidal ideations as well as various other life circumstances. I utilize a variety of techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Bibliotherapy, Stress Management, and Family Supportive Therapy. Beau is my licensed therapy dog who has been through professional training. He only attends sessions if approved by clients. I have worked in a variety of clinical settings and look forward to working with you to help you find peace and happiness.

I believe all individuals carry heavy questions about their life: Why am I here? What am I supposed do? Why do I feel bad? The weight of these thoughts can cause distress in our minds and bodies. All age groups bear these questions, albeit in different ways and expressions. There are not simple answers, yet you can find healing through the universality of exploring your meaning. I believe in your power to heal and your desire to feel whole. I believe you are doing the best you can do with the tools you have. And I will listen and support you, welcome shadows and joys equally, and will encourage you to do the same.

It takes such courage to begin therapy, congratulations on taking the first step! I believe therapy can benefit us all, and I love seeing the positive changes in my client's lives and families as they process trauma, learn new skills and come to understand things in new, healthier ways. I see clients of all ages, but I most enjoy working with teens and tweens, the quirkier and messier the better. Together we can build an alliance that allows them to feel safe and heard, and develop skills that will have life long benefit.

Called a million therapists and none have evening or weekend hours? Frustrated that no one has any openings? Tired of leaving messages and never getting called back? Irritated with being forced to take a lunch therapy appointment only to go back to work wrecked from an intense session? Can't find anyone that takes your insurance at all! Not with us. Never.

As a new therapist, I am eager to embark on the fulfilling journey of helping others from all walks of life. My top priority as a therapist is the well-being of my clients, and I am dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing space for everyone who walks through my door. I want my clients to feel supported and understood, no matter their personal background, race, ethnicity or cultural history.

I am a caring counselor with 15 years of experience working with children of all ages and backgrounds. I have helped kids through life changes such as their parents’ divorce or the loss of a loved one, all types of anxiety, and behavioral concerns such as anger management and ADHD. Treating the child with respect and dignity and meeting them where they are are the heart of my practice. I use play, bibliotherapy, and expressive arts to connect with your child, help them share their thoughts and feelings, and explore coping skills that work for them. Take that first step on behalf of your child. Call and set up an appointment with me.

Therapy shouldn't be awkward. At Servant's Heart Outreach, we offer compassionate, laid back and welcoming counseling that is effective and affordable. We also have in-house psychiatric medication management if needed and we partner with a wonderful physician who works with people to help them find natural solutions if at all possible. Our goal is always to serve you in a way that is uplifting, loving and honorable.

Progress, not perfection. This is a concept that is often hard to wrap our brains around because we have been conditioned to believe that we have to have it all together at all times, but this is not the reality. Healing is a messy process, and it is the baby steps that add up to crossing the finish line at the end. The process can be difficult and frustrating, but so worth it. I want to thank you for taking this first step towards building a better you.
