I have 21.5 years total clinical psychology experience working with children to older adults. I have worked in a military outpatient setting as a mental health provider for 10.5 years, half of that time as an active duty officer, and have received annual training in police psychology for 7 years.

Are you a veteran or family member seeking direction, I can help. Individual, couple and group sessions are available with hours that work for you. Sometimes life can bring us to our knees. When it does, I've found, it's important to have the right support system. Learning how to look at painful experiences differently and live a value-based life can mean the difference between existing and thriving. Personal experience has shown me that a change in perspectives, and developing new skills, have the power to transform our pain into a powerful life experience.

When people have experienced trauma, losses, stressors, and difficulties in relationships, they sometimes struggle to find hope. When relationships with friends, children & family are confusing and challenging, many feel isolated. You may judge yourself harshly instead of practicing self-compassion, leading to feelings of low self-esteem. In addition to meeting the needs of people struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and family conflict, members of the adoption triad will find a safe space here to explore their story and prepare to meet the unique needs that encompass adoption.

Do you find yourself feeling mentally or emotionally overwhelmed? Are you going through a life change that has you wondering what "normal" even means anymore? Have you felt missed (unseen/unheard), lonely, disposable, or unwanted by others (or yourself)? Are you struggling with self-worth, personal identity, and meaning-making? Are you having difficulty navigating the pressures that come with cultivating healthy-wholehearted relationships? What would it be like to feel yourself authentically as well as a genuine connection with others? When you envision your best life, what would you need to change to make that your reality?

You can tackle the next stage of life, anxiety, relationships, and spirituality with the help of a therapist.

Let me begin by thanking you for taking the difficult step of addressing your or a loved one's substance abuse problem. I have 30 years of experience in substance abuse and the counseling there of. I have a public and private background in the field, having worked for non-profit rehabilitation facilities, private practice and judicial drug court systems. Through individual counseling, assessments/evaluations and compassionate caring I have helped hundreds find their way back to a normal happy life. Let's start that journey together today.

Life is hard. Sometimes we find ourselves trying to find happiness based on how other people define what happy should be. This can cause anxiety, depression, feelings of being lost or like you're not enough. Traumatic events, personal experiences, and life in general guide how we see the world and everyone's view is unique. How do you define happy? Lower anxiety? Less depression? Improved relationships? Maybe you haven't figured that out yet. That's where I can help.

The pressure to quickly achieve your goals have you overwhelmed. A few thoughts flow in and out: "I'm a failure", "I'm not enough", "everyone is judging me". You attempt by starting the day with enthusiasm. Yet, soon find yourself shifting from forced enthusiasm to doubt, shame, and restlessness. Your fatigue makes seemingly impossible to think clearly or address responsibilities. As time passes, you have sleepless nights, meaningless relationships, and self-doubt. Overthinking steals the slightest calm you may have had. Forcing yourself to 'do better', leaving no room to learn who you truly want to be.

When you need help with difficult life challenges, important changes, loss, illness, or moving forward with personal goals, I provide the right support, tools and guidance to help you effectively. My mission is to enhance your ability to live a life of purpose, creativity and optimum health. Using a positive and optimistic approach, I support a process in which your innate wisdom is powerfully engaged towards resolution and healing.

These past few years have brought a global traumatic event to the doorsteps of our lives and hearts. Whether this feels new to you or deeply familiar, your story and experience is worth attunement and care. I am passionate about seeing redemption come in the lives of children and adults who have experienced trauma and loss. Events in our lives fragment our hearts, minds, and bodies, and we are in need of repair- both with ourselves and each other. I see children, adults, and couples, and I have extensive training in trauma and abuse. I see clients for a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, grief, and loss.
