I believe a good counselor works their way out of a job...one client at a time. We all get "stuck" in life from time to time. My goal is to provide you with knowledge, tools, guidance, and support so that you can get "unstuck" and move on. Therapy is not magic...but it works. If you are struggling with emotional, behavioral, or relational problems I would like the opportunity to visit with you to see if I can help.

I work with clients who find themselves repeating the same patterns and cycles, who have tried everything they know to try and have not found relief. My clients come ready to go deep and discover what is and is not serving them so they may make lasting changes. The way you feel today does not have to be the way you feel forever. Sometimes we are unable to see what is standing in our way and in those times, having another perspective, from someone who genuinely wants to see you grow, can help uncover unseen aspects of ourselves and our lives.

It is time for you start being the person you were meant to be. There may be many things that prevent you from getting where you want. However, it's time to start prioritizing your own self-care and live your life to its true potential. Our relationships and our self-perceptions can easily become distorted. We must often take a step back to look forward to the next chapter to get the things we want in life.

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to dismiss the importance of mental health. It’s easy to think of all the reasons not to make yourself a priority. Trying to do all the things without investing in yourself, takes a toll on your body and your mind. If you find yourself tired, numb, irritable, anxious, lacking motivation, or burned out, therapy can be a great place to start. What if you tried investing in yourself for a change?

Everyone needs and appreciates a nonjudgemental and unbiased listening ear. The support and guidance that comes from the nature of counseling is something that everyone desires and deserves.

Allow me to help you walk through the highs and lows. Let's confront the struggles and celebrate the growth along the way.

My goal for the counseling relationship is that you, the client, and I, the counselor, will develop trust with one another, work as a team to define and explore present problem situations, develop future goals for an improved life, and work toward those goals. While my counseling philosophies are informed by a biblical worldview, I will in no way pressure or require you to uphold my morals, values, or religious beliefs. As the client I respect your value/belief system and will ask that you inform how that is incorporated into counseling.

Addiction Therapists
What is the best therapy for addiction?
Addiction treatment will be tailored to the individual. People seeking help for addiction—whether with a psychotherapist, in an outpatient clinic, or in a residential program—should expect to engage in multiple types of treatments, sometimes including medication. For anyone recovering from addiction, avoiding situations in which one has typically used a substance is essential, as is the support of close connections. Since substance use disorders tend to co-occur with underlying mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression, those must also be addressed as part of any recovery plan.
How long does therapy for addiction take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from addiction. Patients and their families should expect the work to last several months, if not longer. Residential treatment programs may be based on a stay of 30, 60, or 90 days, with continuing work after release, but only about 1 percent of people are treated in such facilities. Ceasing use is just the first step; therapy to help maintain abstinence and effect behavior change must follow. The process of recovery, neuroscience has shown, involves brain cells recovering the capacity to respond to natural sources of reward and restore control over the impulse to use. Another definition of recovery is restoring voluntary control over one’s substance use and retaking all of one’s previous responsibilities.
How effective is drug addiction treatment?
Substance use disorders are treatable and remission is achievable for many who seek recovery; by some estimates, more than three-quarters of people who become addicted to alcohol or drugs recover. But that success rarely occurs quickly or on a set timeline; relapse is not only common, but many therapists and clinicians view it as a normal part of the process—not always a sign that a person has returned to addiction, but a signal that their treatment should be adjusted to help them regain control. Overall, research suggests, five years after the end of substance use, one’s risk of relapse is no greater than that of others who had not faced addiction. Other experts believe that complete abstinence is not the only measure of recovery, and that, through effective treatment, many people can learn to control their use.
How can you get addiction treatment for someone?
The most important factor in recovery from addiction is widely understood to be an individual’s commitment to change. For that reason,“interventions” in which friends and family gather to urge or force someone to begin immediate treatment often backfire; even when such efforts do lead someone to begin treatment, they may be less likely to stay than those who are self-driven. Still, family members can play an important role in supporting an individual who seeks help and can take part in family therapy as one element of a loved one’s treatment.
