Clients often comment: "who can I trust with my private feelings and thoughts?", "Who will understand me in what I am going through?", and "I feel so alone." My comment to you is to consider counseling. It is safe, and non-judgmental setting, the Client-Therapist relationship is established and encouraged, and it is a platform that provides emotional and social support, as well as, external resources. I encourage you to seek counseling from a credentialed, licensed mental health professional. Let me help you navigate through your journey to gain confidence and be a better you.

I am licensed in Washington State and Texas and can work with you online if you reside in either state. If aspects of life have been feeling too difficult for too long, help is available. Coming to counseling takes courage. It's important to find a therapist who is a good fit for you. My goal is to establish a safe haven where you can increase your comfort and satisfaction with yourself and your life. I work with adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, life changes, work and relationship stress, aging, traumatic experiences (recent and childhood), mood disorders, and loss. Together we can craft a pathway to positive change.

Feeling alone and nervous in a relationship that once brought you excitement and joy? You may even be on edge to share your thoughts, feelings, and desires for fear of rejection or a big blowup. Sometimes we even lie to ourselves because we don’t want to deal with the uncomfortableness of it all. We feel like we have to keep it together for us, for our children, for family.

Are you feeling alone and misunderstood? Do you often find yourself seeking ways to have better relationships, reduce emotional strains such as anxiety, stress, and depression, heal from suffering associated with a loss, or try to adjust to life’s changes so they don’t feel so overwhelming but nothing seems to work? There are things from your past that you are struggling with that have been weighing you down and keeping you from moving forward or enjoying life. My passion is to work alongside adults to help them adjust, heal, and overcome challenges so they can feel empowered to build the life they want to live.

My approach to therapy is to provide clients with empowerment and encouragement to conquer their problems by providing copings skills, processing and understanding emotions, and supporting them during difficult times. My hope is that clients can expect to leave a session feeling like they have someone they can trust and open up to. They can also expect to have more tools in their coping skill toolbox.

There are seasons of life that can feel so overwhelming you no longer know how to cope; or perhaps you feel that coping itself has always been a challenge. Whether you are experiencing those struggles on your own or in the context of a relationship, you are not alone and there can be relief. It is my personal and professional belief that we each have a sense of what we are striving for, but sometimes in life we are challenged with daily tasks and stressors, perhaps even traumas, that distract or discourage us from focusing on our values and overall well being.

I am committed to helping teens, young adults, individuals, couples, marriages and families to reach their fullest potential, by providing the tools necessary to survive and thrive in life's struggles and challenges.

As therapist and client, we can work together to see these changes impact your life in a way that produces resolution and restoration. My goal is to reach marriages, and to restore families. My mission is to build bridges one family at a time.
