We are often dealt circumstances that are beyond our understanding and personal control. Many of these experiences distort our perception of who we truly are. My practice focuses on liberation--whether overcoming trauma, shame, eating disorders , self-esteem, body image, or difficulty attaching (codependency or anti-dependency), my goal is to join you in your discovery that change IS possible. Treatment formats include individual process therapy, EMDR, Brainspotting, and experiential therapies.

Sometimes looking in the mirror is hard when the image looking back at you is not what you pictured. Our past hurts and traumas, broken relationships, unhealthy relationship with food, and painful relationship with our bodies leave us broken and weary. I believe that digging into those painful places brings healing, as well as learning how to move into the present. My goal is to help you create a healthy relationship with yourself rather than an adversarial one. I am passionate primarily about eating disorders but also treat trauma, anxiety, and ADHD or any challenges that come along with an eating disorder.

Do you know your heart matters? It requires courage to explore your heart's history with another. And, it's natural to feel uncertain when searching for help with your concerns.

I am a licensed counselor, psychotherapist, and teacher who enjoys listening to the hearts of others.

Life is not always kind. It is difficult to balance all of the demands of life while also taking care of ourselves. It can be made particularly difficult when these challenges seem to require more than we have to give. I believe that we all have the courage and strength necessary to overcome these obstacles, but that we all need help sometimes recognizing our abilities and learning the skills we need. I am a licensed clinical psychologist (AR 19-02D) specializing in diagnostic assessment and evidence based interventions. I invite you to learn more about me and my work at evidencebasedlr.com

I help teenagers and adults manage their anxiety and stress better. There is a level of anxiety that is normal, that everyone feels, and that can even be productive. Then there is the kind of anxiety that is crippling—that is not often understood by those around us and that gets in the way of our happiness. It can keep you up at night, make you constantly distracted, affect your work or school performance, and even make you physically sick. Sometimes it can feel like anxiety comes out of nowhere, leaving you feeling confused, helpless, and desperate to find some relief (even if it's not in a healthy way).

I believe that no two people are alike and that your therapeutic experience depicts your nature and nurture that makes up whom you are today. As your therapist, we'll actively work on developing “good” emotional health; as we explore what has directly/indirectly affected you and has impacted whom you are, today. What I am seeking in a client, is an individual that is motivated for a change in their life. With that, I will need your dedication and commitment to this process. Will this be difficult and challenging at times? Yes, it will be. “Challenges is what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.” J.M.

Nobody is immune to life problems and the toll they can take on our mental health. With more than 10 years experience, I provide professional and confidential mental health counseling services to diverse persons. I do not discriminate based on ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation or personal identification and believe that through connection and compassion we can resolve any problem together. Our problems and past experiences do not define us and our future is not yet written. Help is available and you are not alone. Let's work towards building your life the way it was always meant to be: authentic, fulfilling and empowered.

I have expertise in integration of religion in counseling, both positively and negatively. So I actively integrate clients' Christian faith for those who seek it - in both techniques and goals (cf. spiritual maturity = balance of openness and commitment to God, self and others), while recognizing unbalanced religion is often part of clients' abusive past. So I work with my clients' values and refer out the few who can't work with mine.

Are you motivated to work on your issues, tired of being stuck, and ready to do what it takes to reach your goals? Therapy is a great way to learn new skills and to gain insight about your issues. It allows you to gain the tools you need to begin the healing process. I hope to build a strong therapeutic relationship with you so that you feel comfortable being and expressing yourself in a non-judgemental environment.
