Tired of struggling and feeling like something just isn't right? Let me help. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist who loves working with people of all ages and cultures. I have experience in counseling individuals, couples, families and groups. I have facilitated both adult and teen anger management groups as well as a parenting group. I am fully trained in EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) for couples and working on my certification for this.

Are you feeling defeated by self-doubt? Anxious and over-burdened by the worries of tomorrow? Depressed because you just can't seem to make any long-lasting changes in your life? These symptoms may just be the "tip of the iceberg" and may be indicative of long-held belief systems that are manifesting after years of cultivation. Don't be discouraged. You're not alone. The human experience is riddled with challenges that can leave us feeling hopeless. We are not meant to do life alone and chances are you already know that because that's why you're here. Let's get started!

I offer individual, couples / premarital / marriage, family, child, and adolescent counseling. The environment is a non-judgmental, safe place of acceptance. I will walk along side and offer ways that can be helpful in managing trauma, stress, and relationships. My goal is to help you access internal resources and make adjustments that can be helpful. My focus has been working with individuals of all ages dealing with a variety of issues, including trauma. I have worked with a diverse population including individuals who are dealing with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, self-esteem, and grief to develop a plan to bring positive changes.

Relationships are one of the most important parts of one’s life. Our happiness and satisfaction in life depend on the quality of our most treasured relationships. I work to help couples and individuals to find healing and recovery from trauma and loss of interest. Many couples work to find each other again with a renewed commitment, equipped with communication tools, and a greater understanding of one another. As a military spouse, I understand how life can throw a huge curve ball and impact your growth as a person and in your relationship. No matter how challenging things may seem, you will have the support to persevere.

Human beings are hard-wired for connection, which is as essential for survival as food, water, and air. When a person is deprived of that connection it creates bondage that can be crushing, robbing us of the freedom we were created to enjoy. My clinical experience includes trauma, attachment issues, adoption, parenting, marriage, family conflict, anxiety/depression, and spiritual formation.

You feel like you’ve grown apart. It’s almost like you’re living two separate lives - and you used to be so close. Now you argue about the same things over and over again. It's so hard to communicate. It seems like you can’t ever get this person you fell in love with to hear you anymore. You never expected to feel so much pain when you first fell in love. But, you do. And you don’t want to feel it anymore. Neither of you do. You both know something has to change. And you cant wait anymore. It's time to do something.

I enjoy working with children and families and am passionate about serving underrepresented communities. My aim is to help clients work through attachment issues, family conflict, academic setbacks, self-esteem, life transitions, and more. Our goal as a team is to focus on learning and building on developing coping skills, promoting positivity and empowerment to enhance motivation, and increasing self-awareness. Let's work together!

My work is grounded in the belief that the human spirit has the innate ability to heal if offered compassion, empathy, and support. Creating an environment where you feel safe and comfortable enough to be open and vulnerable is of utmost importance to me. Building trust and establishing rapport will be done over time, through intentional question-asking and validation. I use a multi-modal approach and pull from attachment theory, trauma-informed care, and somatic techniques in my work with clients. Utilizing EMDR to reprocess negative thoughts about self into positive thoughts is a powerful intervention I love using with clients.

Are you struggling to find your place or purpose within society or in life in general? Are you ready to work on your relationship? Perhaps you are ready to break free from those social norms and are hoping to build your own confident identity? Maybe you are ready to break from the generational or multigenerational trauma that has been normalized in your life?

All of us face challenging events in our lives, and at times need assistance in finding new insights, new perspectives, and new tools to live a satisfying life. When the stories of our lives no longer meet our needs - it is time for each of us to write a new story leveraging the assistance of a trusted counselor.

Feeling down, anxious, or stuck? I specialize in treating anxiety and depression using compassionate, evidence-based treatments (IFS and EMDR). We will work together to decrease symptoms of anxiety or depression, move forward from stuck feelings or traumatic memories, improve relationships, and increase self-compassion. Ultimately we will rediscover your core self — who you really are when anxiety and depression take a backseat.

I have worked in Early Childhood Education for 25 years, which has given me the opportunity to help young children develop social-emotional skills. I look forward to utilizing these skills I've learned to help my clients strengthen their areas of need within the field of mental health.

If you have thoughts such as "People don't understand me" "I feel so overwhelmed with racing thoughts" "I don't feel good enough" I hear you, and you are not alone. Together, we can work to overcome whatever it is you are experiencing.

I want to invite you to awaken to the life you were created for...filled with hope, healing and freedom to live the Bigger Story. When we go through difficult times, it is so easy for our hearts to simply go to "sleep" to protect ourselves from further pain and disappointment. Sometimes it can be challenging to know how to break out of the ways our hearts have opted for the status quo. With 31 years of counseling experience and a passion to see hearts awakened, I offer to come alongside those who are sincerely hungry for true transformation.

Love and Life gets complicated... Anxiety, Trauma, D.V., Abuse, Addictions, Complex Grief, Self Harm, Marriage and Family issues may arise and we become blindsided. Hope and recovery is possible. Empower yourself for change.

I am an enthusiastic, patient, and dedicated therapist. I work with clients from all backgrounds and cultures. I have many skills applicable to typical human challenges like anxiety, depression, and grief. My deeper work involves supporting clients struggling with trauma, identity, relationships, and neurodivergence. Are you struggling with self-esteem? Purpose? Painful memories? Maybe you don't feel like yourself. Maybe there's someone in your life who's treating you like crap and you're ready to make a change. Perhaps you feel like you keep making the same mistakes. I've been there. I see you.

It is my privilege and passion to walk alongside of those who are healing from trauma, abuse, anxiety, and those grappling with spirituality and personal identity. I firmly believe that through respectful, culturally competent and trauma informed approaches, space can be held for you to feel empowered to not just survive, but thrive! In sessions, I often use Internal Family Systems Therapy, and Somatic Therapy to equip and encourage clients to live mindfully in the present while honoring and healing what happened in the past.

YOU ARE WORTH IT! There is hope. I am passionate about assisting couples/families and individuals with finding peace and working towards positive change. I am an integrative psychotherapist, working from a compassionate, strength-based perspective. The foundation of effective therapy is a strong, connected therapeutic relationship. I believe it is my role as a therapist to approach this alliance with warmth and open-mindedness to help provide you with a safe, nonjudgemental space.
