For decades, I've helped people find new paths through their life challenges. By developing a deep client relationship, applying complementary therapeutic approaches, my goal is to help YOU uncover your true potential and power to live a life you enjoy. Do you doubt that is possible? Therapy may consist of practicing skills related to social and emotional learning and learning how your beliefs about life effect everything. Uncovering and navigating your life stories - telling those stories over and over - of depression, trauma, anxiety, loss, and stress helps YOU figure out YOUR path. Want to try?

I would be honored to help you navigate your life challenges. I have worked with many adults who are experiencing caring for loved ones, life changes in residence, health and circumstances, as well as those coping with the changes that getting older bring. Many individuals are overwhelmed by these issues and are having a difficult time finding a "new normal." I would be happy to discuss your insurance to see if I am paneled with them.

I work with people struggling with anxiety, depression, adjustment to life changes, phobia, previous trauma, social difficulties, guilt and navigating neurodiversity. Others use therapy as a safe place to learn about themselves. As a sex therapist I work with issues such as inability to orgasm, unsatisfactory erectile functioning, or ejaculation timing; low libido (desire), libido mismatches; painful intercourse; sexual changes due to aging, dementia, and medical condition. Sex therapy is talk therapy focusing on your sexual concerns, behaviors, and history. There is no nudity or sexual contact during a sex therapy session.

I am open to all ages and stages of life and have a special place in my heart for all military and first responders.

My life experiences and personal testimony is evidence of God's ability to restore and redeem. My journey in becoming a counselor has given me an understanding for the need to see others through God's perspective, a holistic view in providing care and compassion, while ministering to individuals using various resources and methods. No one person or situation is alike. The uniqueness to your story requires personal insight while allowing the Holy Spirit to heal the inner person. I use biblically based teaching intertwined with psychological tools, to minister to the entire person: mind, body, spirit, soul.

Therapy offers a place and relationship in which to be heard, to be understood and to experience growth and change. My practice offers opportunities to a wide variety of people for insight and understanding that makes a difference in how life is lived. Therapy begins with the development of a meaningful relationship grounded in compassion, patience and appreciation for your needs and personal experiences.I work with individuals seeking general insight and self-discovery to those suffering from chronic or debilitating issues. My practice involves work with individuals, couples and families.

The power to make positive changes is within us all. The goal of holistic wellness is to "change the lens" and give a healthier perspective for a peaceful and more content life.
