Are you currently struggling with trauma, grief & loss, a break-up, anxiety, depression or marital issues that continue to cause relational suffering? You don't have to travel these challenges alone & without professional help. It would be an honor to help you find healthy tools to use, while providing you with authentic soul-care with warmth - the goal being some kind of relief and perhaps awakening you to other perspectives that might create deeper or alternate understandings. We all hope for healthier relationships with self, others & God. Please allow me the chance to help you find deeper meaning in your life journey.
My areas of clinical experience are adoption, grief, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, marriage and couples counseling, women's fertility issues, divorce, ADHD & OCPD. I am certified as a facilitator in Prepare & Enrich and enjoy working with couples using Emotion Focused Therapy. I am also trained in EMDR and offer that approach to those with trauma.
I long to help individuals become aware of unconscious material that might awaken an understanding of present inner pain masking as symptoms. A welcoming safe space is provided to attain this. I will walk alongside you in your journey of self-discovery and healing. The therapeutic space is sacred & one that is co-created between client and therapist.

Treatment looks different for each person based on the nature of the presenting issue or problem. The intake session allows for an opportunity to understand the expectations of therapy and/or crisis at hand. This leads to a collaborative conversation about what treatment is most suitable for your unique situation.
