If you are having difficulties and would like some support, I would like to help. I work with a broad range of issues but have a great deal of experience working with people who have experienced different kinds of trauma including childhood abuse and sexual assault, depression, anxiety, and relationship concerns (romantic/social/family). I also have interests in working with issues related to identity in a minority population (racial/ethnic, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious). It is important to me to provide a safe, accepting, and multiculturally competent environment for my clients as they explore challenging issues.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Registered Play Therapist and certified AutPlay Therapist. I have over 15 years experience working with traumatized children and their families. My passion is working with children and young adults to help them learn positive coping skills, manage emotions and have healing. I will provide a safe, nonjudgmental and confidential environment while meeting you where you are emotionally and mentally.

Are you feeling like you aren't yourself lately? Maybe you're wondering why everything seems like so much effort or you don't find joy like you use to. Or perhaps anxiety is keeping you from living the life you want. Maybe life has thrown you one too many curve balls and you're feeling overwhelmed and hopeless. You may feel alone in your experience or feel stuck, perhaps believing you are a failure, unlovable, or unworthy. Self-doubt, sadness, and anxiety are part of the human experience. Our reactions to those thoughts and feelings; however, can lead to overwhelming distress.

I have worked with individuals and couples for over 35 years. Some of the problems I have helped clients to solve are: communication, infidelity, trouble with relatives, "falling out of love," selecting a mate, lack of commitment, parenting, pornography, verbal abuse, and blended families. I help individuals and couples to increase intimacy, build trust, and improve satisfaction with their relationships. I also see clients for mental health issues, such as: bipolar, anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD (child & adult), and OCD. I describe myself as a Christian Counselor. PersonalIy, I seek to live a biblical lifestyle through faith in Jesus Christ.

Do you feel like you have no power in your life? Do you take responsibility for things out of your control? You don't have to do this alone. I want to help. I work with people from all walks of life on concerns ranging from adjustment and self-discovery to severe trauma and depression and everything in between. I use support, insight, and perspective to empower you to make positive changes in your life. Whether it is helping you to find new ways to cope with old pain, gain awareness of and alter destructive patterns, or getting a new perspective, I can help. You deserve happiness.

I am passionate about adolescents and young adults! I have experience and success in helping teenagers with anxiety, depression, self harm as well as the daily drama they face whether at school or in the home. I also work with young adults battling life's stressful times whether it be starting college, choosing a career, or navigating relationships. I especially love helping these young adults overcome anxiety and the uncertainty of life at this stage.

Life does not come with an instruction manual. We often ask ourselves, “Where do I go from here,” and that’s okay! It can be challenging to navigate life's curveballs because we don't know how or we don't feel like we deserve to find healing. Each person’s journey towards healing is different, but everyone deserves a space where they can begin that journey.
