I have been a counselor for over 17 years. I have worked in a variety of settings including inpatient, outpatient, jails/prisons, community mental health agencies as well as private practice. I have worked with virtually every type of client with every type of problem.

Private counseling practice focusing on individual and family counseling for depression, anxiety, trauma, women’s issues, and neurodevelopmental disorders. Parent training and consultation offered for parents of children with behavioral health concerns.

I am a clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience in private practice and inpatient settings. I see psychotherapy as a journey of self-discovery and self-understanding with the goal being to liberate the individual from those conflicts and difficulties that limit their happiness, well-being, and fulfillment.

Relationships are hard. Family relationships, romantic relationships, friendships, nobody knows how to do it perfectly. However, these relationships impact us daily and change the way we relate to the world around us and live our day to day lives. Taking care of these relationships and ourselves is imperative to our wellbeing, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside you as work toward your goals. Clients say that I am inviting, non-judgmental and attentive. I tend to be assertive but gentle and my goal is to ask appropriate questions, provide education and thought provoking discussion in order to work towards your goals.

Everyone is unique in their own way with their own needs and purpose to fulfill. With life having many challenges, so we begin with a goal to live each moment with sincere and serene grace, to laugh about at least one thing every day, and to love with passion and compassion. There is always hope for renewal and a bright future so long as we focus on our goals.

Life can be rough, and sometimes we need a little help getting by and coping. I have always been led to help people, and have found my calling in counseling people through their trials. I have worked with individuals of various ages and issues. My goal is to help you build coping skills to get you over the challenges in your daily life and return to a sense of balance and serenity.

As people, we all continue to grow and learn throughout our lifetime. Counseling is just that, growing and learning more about yourself and how you relate to others and the world. If you don't know who you are, I would love to explore that with you. I am a strong believer in equality and in affirming who you are; your values and beliefs. I believe in celebrating and honoring our differences. Everyone struggles from time to time and my passion is to walk along side you and offer you the support you need.

Ages 18 and up: Seeking a therapist can be an uncomfortable process especially when seeking Christian counseling. There is often a fearful voice in our heads saying, "What if she judges me when I tell her what's going on?" Creating an environment for you to process your thoughts and feelings without judgment is my goal. There is no one who is better in God's eyes than anyone else. Every one of us has done things that we regret, and our life journey is not about the fumbles, but about the recoveries and finishing strong! I am also a supervisor working with LPC-Associates learning how to help from a healthy, biblical perspective.

I love doing therapy with adolescents and adults who are striving to become their genuine selves. You will be treated with the utmost care and sincerity. I will listen to your fears and concerns while taking the time to build trust. Rapport is an extremely important part of our relationship, and I want you to feel supported in your purpose. If your self-esteem is lacking or you are feeling like you don't fit in, I will walk beside you as we build your belief in yourself.

I am committed to helping children, teens and their parents experience "less stress and more success" by offering client-centered counseling, including play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, short-term solution and stress-management/mindfulness and therapeutic parenting support. I have been in practice for over 25 years and delight in helping clients recognize and affirm their unique strengths and find positive, creative solutions to overcome the challenges they face.

My therapeutic approach focuses on assisting you to explore, understand, and develop effective strategies to change life situations that cause trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions. I assist clients to be heard in safe, emotionally secure setting with a personal therapeutic connection. Improving your quality of Life is the goal. I specialize in identifying the inappropriate stress coping techniques we use in dealing with daily life stress. Understanding and changing these behaviors results in a healthier, positive, and growth oriented life.

I enjoy working with clients that are motivated to see change. Perhaps they have felt stuck in relationships that they value or struggle to set boundaries. I specialize in working with adults on relational dynamics of all kinds including marriage, friendship, work, and more. My ideal client is interested in making changes in their own contributions in the relationships in order to see change in the systems that are a part of their lives. I love working with individuals, couples, parents, and anyone that is interested in learning more about themselves and how they operate in hopes of making positive change.

When in our pain, the survival skills (self-preservation) that we have developed kick in and often they are skills that can continue to cause us pain. Particularly when we are relating to others. Through the utilization of Restoration Therapeutic Model, we will work together in learning how to move from pain to peace in your life. Let’s explore those pains together, discover the truth about you/who you are and how you can differently relate to individuals and situations that life brings.

Every stage of life presents unexpected challenges. You deserve to work with someone well prepared to help you address them. What you have already lived through demands it.

Are you struggling with sexual behaviors you've promised yourself you'll stop? Has your porn use become a source of frequent fighting in your marriage?

I love to work with young professionals, parents, blended families, adults, and older adults. Common topics that we work together on in counseling are anxiety, depression, managing ADD/ADHD, learning differences, family conflicts, healthy boundaries, and how to live life fully!

If you find the best side of you is sometimes fleeting and you can't recall that part at will, I think I can help. You might manage to be yourself all day, but have a chronic feeling there is more possible, because you've seen "more" of you. We start by getting clear on what you'd like to experience more in your life right now: happiness? Confidence? Peace? Your old self? Freedom? Appreciated? Next, we figure out what gets in the way of connecting with the best side of you. Psst! Its not your past, or your circumstances or something wrong with you.
