Oftentimes we seek out therapy because components in our lives are causing us significant distress and disrupt our ability to function effectively and feel happiness. I ask clients who come into therapy to bring with them an open attitude, a willingness to explore their life perspectives and their relationships with others, that they may experience true change and healing. This journey towards emotional maturity often involves a certain amount of discomfort and pain before the healing and change can occur. I provide a warm, trusting, safe space to assist people so that they may continue that journey.

Have you recently experienced the death of a loved one, the end of a marriage or relationship, or a significant life transition that has you wondering how life will ever feel normal again? Grief shows up in many ways in life, and it looks different for everyone. But one thing is always true: grief changes us. Maybe you’re in survival mode: fighting just to stay above water in the day to day. Or perhaps you feel like you don’t recognize yourself: more angry, less motivated, or experiencing emotions that feel completely foreign. Your grief may be so overwhelming that you don’t even know what you feel.

I am currently offering both Telehealth and in-person sessions. I work specifically with clients who have a desire to learn more about themselves, and to increase their experience of vulnerability.

Please note: For your safety during COVID19, I offer online sessions. When in-person sessions are available again, you will have the choice to continue online if you prefer. Are you tired of struggling? Do you find yourself wondering why you can't “just get over it?” Do you hope for a life that is free from negative thoughts and haunted memories? Would you like to actually look forward to your future? There is hope.

It is my hope that clients gain from counseling specific tools they can apply to their lives to feel better equipped in dealing effectively with their life circumstances. I tailor my counseling to the needs of the client, using various therapeutic techniques to provide clients skills such as communication, emotion management, coping, parenting, etc. I incorporate an educational component, presenting information to enhance knowledge regarding various issues that clients face. I often include homework to make use of the time between sessions. When desired by the client, I approach their circumstances from a biblical perspective.

I work with clients who find themselves struggling with perfectionism, self-esteem, anxiety, and spiritual identity. In my work, I utilize an integrated and holistic approach that promotes a uniquely tailored therapeutic style to each client based upon their own individual needs, experiences, and goals.

I believe that each of these influences who we are as individuals, who we are in relationships, and how we interact in the world.

I provide counseling services to women and small groups in recovery. Areas of special interest are supporting women with issues related to trauma and betrayal, grief, spiritual growth, and life transitions.

I believe the purpose of therapy is to support people in gaining personal insight, understanding of others perspectives, and integrating this information while planning new and improved responses and courses of action. As we are able to discover and express our hidden emotions and create new relational responses we then have the potential to change a distressed and rigid relationship into a more secure, safe and satisfying one. My commitment is to devote my full attention to you during our time together and to work with you as supportively, competently, responsibly, and professionally as I am able.
