My goal is for my clients to feel hope when they leave my office. I believe there are times when folks are lacking the tools to get back on track after they have been derailed by life. I believe healing starts within the therapeutic relationship and I look forward to connecting with clients! My job is to help them on their journey in working toward a healthy outlook and better connections in their relationships. I enjoy working with those who are dealing with grief & loss issues, trauma, relationship struggles, anyone who just need someone who cares.

Life can leave us feeling confused, overwhelmed, disconnected, and full of emotions that we may not understand.

Most of all, you're ready to improve your quality of life and live beyond your struggles and worries.

Hurts and pain leave us feeling shattered, injured, and disconnected from our true selves. You may be fed up with the constant pain from your past, feeling that you will never be happy or normal.

You’re ready to be happy and move forward without the past haunting or hurting you. You’re ready to have and feel peace in your heart, brain, and body. Most of all, you’re ready to know you are enough and that your future can be full of happiness and joy

There can be healing and growth after going through really hard things in life. Trauma doesn’t have to be the end of your story. You can write a new chapter. I am passionate about coming alongside those who are adjusting to life changes and seeking personal growth, as well as helping those who are working through the effects of abuse, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and grief.

Sometimes we need to talk through the struggle. The stress to succeed in our family, education, career, and relationships creates burdens that are too big to bear alone. If you are like most, you often find yourself feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and anxious. I believe therapy is a healthy way to appropriately identify and address the struggles that keep us from our best life. I work with teenagers and adults who are struggling with mood, anxiety, depression, relationships and spiritual issues. I am passionate about helping couples improve their marriages through improved communication, conflict resolution, and relationship skills.

We all experience a multitude of emotions, and, sadly, we aren't always shown the best way to communicate and work through these emotions. Instead, we often try to push them to the side. This can easily lead to difficulties in our relationships, conflict in our families, to us feeling isolated, and asking the question, "What's wrong with me?". I work with children, adolescents, and adults to help them navigate these emotions, understand their behaviors, and find connection.

I want to start by saying that I truly hold a solid belief that each and every human deserves to feel happiness, love, excitement, contentment, and ultimately to achieve their dreams, desires, goals, and best-selves! I implement an integrative approach, with a craving to help. Whether that assistance be with an individual navigating ADHD, a person learning to cope with anxiety/depression, a couple for growth & change, entire family in need, I am devoted to seeking out and destroying the obstacles, strongholds, cognitive distortions, or whatever the “problem” is that is impeding their ability to live happy, healthy, fulfilled lives.

Depression, anxiety, and a sense of being stuck in the 'same old thing' are common themes. Marital is my post masters training area of emphasis. I also offer courses for premarital and co-parenting. Military, Police, First-Responders, Veterans, and their families are populations I specifically want to support. To do this I practice an evidenced based trauma therapy called EMDR that uses the body's built-in processes for digesting maladaptive information.

If you are looking to make changes and see yourself finding a new sense of purpose, please reach out. In today's fast paced world, we often find ourselves feeling completely isolated and that we can't reach out to anyone. From our first session, we will work to identify the habit loops that created our present and learn how to create the future you want for yourself, your friendships, and your family.

I consider it a joy to work with couples, families, and individuals. It is an honor when people allow me to walk beside them in their journey. I believe that each person has great worth and their stories are as unique as snowflakes. Sitting with people in their distress gives me an unparalleled vantage point from which to watch the healing power of secure attachment in the lives of my clients. Relationships provide a safe harbor for our lives and when they are strained or broken, we feel real pain. My approach provides a proven path back to healthy relationships.

Shame is never a motivator. Many of your issues may be rooted in shame that you never even realized. Shame can take on many forms; pressure to live up to other's expectations of us, pressure to perform at the rate those around us seem to be, or pressure to live up to our own impossible standards we have created for ourselves. When these measures are not met, we can feel depleted, discouraged, and even hopeless. Or perhaps we have been verbally told by others (either past or present) they were disappointed in us or we weren't good enough. And we cannot seem to escape these defeating and destructive thoughts.

Have you gone to therapy for years, but still feel stuck? It seems like talking about your life isn't getting you anywhere, and you just want to move forward. You are tired of your mind racing at night when it needs to shut down to sleep. You are easily distracted when you need to focus on tasks at work. You feel guilty when you get angry about the most insignificant things. You want to be the person who everyone sees as cool, calm and collected because it seems those people have peace.

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work effectively together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience in tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of culture, religion, and other factors on each individual.
Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Christian values?
Each person brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of treatment modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition that strongly influences the way they conduct their everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process. For some clients, a Christian therapist is likely to incorporate faith-based principles into emotional healing techniques.
How do I recognize an effective Christian therapist?
Christian therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Christian beliefs and values. They have an understanding of the importance that Christian principles play in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of struggles that can affect daily functioning. Like all effective therapists, a Christian therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of life.
Why might someone feel comfortable with a Christian therapist?
While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic success. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who not only is responsive to questions and concerns but also shares a client’s faith and values. Sensitivity to spiritual matters as well as to everyday struggles can provide a welcome sense of safety and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, both of which support the therapeutic process.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Christian therapists?
The directory of Christian therapists includes professionals who have shared their background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
