My goal as a counselor is to create a supportive environment in which the clients can explore their emotional needs and overcome barriers that limit their full potential.

I offer counseling sessions for individuals, couples, and families in the following areas; Depression and Sadness, Codependency, Anger Management, Anxiety and Stress Communication issues, Arguments, Trust issues, Loneliness, Emotional intimacy, and Self-esteem issues

Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. Whether you are looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you are just ready to move in a new direction in your life, we are here to help and look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

You probably already know at least some of what you wish were different in your life. Often the things we wish were different we have wanted to change for months, years, or even decades. Counseling often has a balanced focus on helping you learn how to cope with present day symptoms while at times looking back to become free from old patterns of responding. Those old patterns that at one time may have been necessary in order to survive, now may be the very thing limiting your ability to thrive and realize your potential.

Feeling stuck is discouraging. Low self-esteem, worry about the future, and wounds from the past can hold us back from the freedom we crave to truly live and become 'unstuck.' Moving into that freedom requires both trust and a commitment to change. Change occurs as trust develops between a client and a compassionate therapist who serves as a guide through a journey of self-discovery and transformation. IHCW is a community is which pain and suffering meet hope and healing.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, it is my passion to walk along side my clients in difficult situations and help my clients to find hope. Life can become difficult, I help my clients in finding insight, support and manage situations that feel unmanageable. My approach is personal and unique to each of my client's personality and situations.

Many people experience feelings of anxiety about the future, struggle to find the motivation or energy to successfully face current problems, or feel misunderstood by others. Having support in the process of adjusting or changing your patterns of thinking and actions can help you fulfill your aspirations and enjoy greater happiness. I will help you work towards aligning your hopes and goals with productive and healthy ways of thinking and acting. My therapeutic approach allows you to identify and build upon your strengths while developing new skills and strategies that foster hope and help you face life challenges more effectively.

Every journey is unique. At different points we all can use a helping hand to bring or restore hope.

I am passionate about journeying with people as they find health and wellness.

I believe that trauma affects all parts of our being- mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. Therefore, the healing process also needs to involve all parts of our being. Attachment wounds, abusive relationships with themselves and others, specific traumatic events, losses that need grieving, generational trauma and high conflict functioning in families affect how we view ourselves and interact with the world. Gabor Mate said it best, “ We may not be responsible for the world that created our minds, but we can take responsibility for the mind with which we create our world.” Look below for the current groups I am offering!

Hello and welcome! Life can be messy, are you feeling "let down", disappointed, or maybe just plain "fed-up" in certain areas of your life...feeling like a change for the better is long over-due? A renewed and inspired life is obtainable. Seeking counseling is a sign of strength and entering this collaboration is an act of service to yourself. The therapy relationship is powerful way to overcome problems that leave you feeling helpless or alone, just the challenges in ordinary everyday life can sometimes be overwhelming.

I have a heart to serve individuals going through difficult times in their lives. I work with clients facing depression, anxiety, anger, post-traumatic stress, and adjustment disorders. Individuals and families find encouragement and support while facing grief and loss, separation and divorce, abuse, and other stressful or traumatic events. They find healing from past pain and hope for a better future through the therapeutic process.

Do you feel disconnected from yourself and your feelings, possibly due to trauma? Do you lack understanding of the cause & need education on how the brain responds to trauma? Do you have relational issues or anger management struggles that lead to addictive behaviors? Do you struggle with self-worth issues and feel tired, frustrated, and confused? In therapy, you will learn to identify trauma responses, build tolerance for difficult or uncomfortable feelings, & utilize various coping skills & grounding techniques. Gain confidence, take risks to address complex issues & learn how to create healthy boundaries for relationships.

Suppose you returned home one night to your "empty" house on a corner to find the door smashed open, and sounds of someone inside and things falling on the floor. Afraid, you walk around the corner where your neighbor then tells you she saw smoke coming from your window and the firemen are inside finding the cause. Your attitude toward the intruders completely changes when you understand their purpose. I give clients similar insight about the problems hurting them and their relationships. It's tragic to suffer and to fear solvable problems because you don't understand them.
