Whether you're hoping to minimize anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, desire to explore and improve your past or current relationship patterns, need assistance navigating a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder during or after pregnancy, I offer you support, help and guidance in going from where you are to how you want to feel.

It is possible to overcome both past and present difficulties. I believe that our past influences our present, and looking at the past, even briefly, can help us understand how we got to where we are today, which can help us start the healing process. Healing takes place when we move from the past and begin work on ourselves mentally, physically, and spiritually. In my quiet and calm manner, I will listen to you without judgment and guide you through the healing process to reach your full potential and live the life you want to live, even if you are unsure of what that is yet. I utilize a Christian perspective when requested.

I would be honored to hear your story regardless of what stage of life you are currently experiencing. I believe it is important to understand one's story in the context of their relationships and family patterns. Using a strength based approach, I will assist you in finding support and healing as you change and grow through life's changes. I also promote early intervention with children. Play is the language of children and is used to promote growth and development.

Reaching out for help is the first step towards meaningful change. I work with individuals, couples, and families to help resolve distress, remove barriers, and improve relationships. Working with clients I employ systemic, structural, and experiential perspectives with an attachment lens. Extensive life experience tailors my approach towards being a good listener and approaching transformation with confident gentleness.

You deserve a therapist who genuinely cares about you and what you're going through.

Are you feeling frustrated and misunderstood by your partner? Do you ever look at your partner and feel like you may be on the road to divorce? Do you ever feel like no one told you how hard it is to maintain a relationship or how to make a relationship work?

As my profile states, I am unable to start with new clients at this time- Sometimes people miss that when they message me and I want to be clear! The people I enjoy working with most are the ones who aren't sure therapy is for them, or haven't had great experiences in the past. I get what it's like for therapy not to go well. Maybe they're nervous I'll side with their spouse. Maybe they're worried it'll be too much too fast. The best part of my job is discovering the unique stories of each person who comes into my office, then developing a relationship to support their progress towards a more comfortable, resilient way of living.

I truly believe that all human beings have the ability to be mentally well; however, I recognize there are life experiences that can affect the human spirit deeply, guiding you to believe you are damaged, unlovable, or mentally unwell. It is my passion to guide people back to seeing themselves and life through a more positive lens where hope can be awakened and where peace, security, contentment, and joy can be found. I believe all people are affected by life's hardships differently, however we all have one thing in common: the ability to be well.

I also tell my clients that I might have certain insights by looking at patterns, behaviors, and habits they don't realize are present. Sessions via computer and phone offered.

My goal is to provide you a safe, confidential space where you genuinely feel supported and heard as you to navigate through challenges you are currently experiencing.

As a therapist, it is an honor to be part of another person's process in understanding their personal worth.
