Many counselors will treat symptoms that are showing up in your life; symptoms can include feelings of sadness, anxiety or isolation, night terrors, substance abuse including alcohol or drugs, low self-esteem, narcissism, cutting, paranoia, hallucinations, irrational fears, difficulty sleeping, excessive anger, repetitive self-defeating thoughts or behaviors, thoughts of suicide, feelings of dissociation, or a myriad of other symptoms. However, the real problem is an underlying cause that must be determined. CTS utilizes an evidence based trauma therapy model that brings to light the underlying issues contributing to the symptoms.

Let me help you rediscover the joy of being a couple, with each partner feeling fully heard, appreciated, and cherished.

I specialize in children, adolescents and their families. Conflicts within the home, school, or work place contribute to added stress, anxiety, depression and addictive behaviors. Problems adjusting to new family dynamics can be expressed by irritability, anger, or withdrawal. I will work with you to improve relationships between siblings, between children and parents, or between friends and colleagues. If your family is struggling with possible addictions and related issues, I have experience that may help. When you leave the first session, you will have some coping strategies to improve your situation. Take some positive steps towards a better future today.

I believe in helping people put the pieces back together. I specialize in trauma issues, self esteem, depression, sex addiction and sexual trauma.

I treat my clients with dignity throughout the process and facilitate a shame-free recovery.

Be encouraged -- help is available in navigating your emotional, mental and spiritual life. Making that first call to a counselor is often the hardest step.

I am passionate about walking alongside individuals from all walks of life who may be struggling with the effects of physical or relational trauma, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and grief/loss.

I believe that greater awareness, coping skills, and the ability to own our stories are powerful tools for healing. My favorite part about this work is seeing individuals realize their strengths and capabilities.
