It takes courage to ask for help. As your therapist I will help you become comfortable with increasing your self awareness and learning what you can do to have a more fulfilling life.

In a world where we often have to shrink to fit in or hide parts of ourself that make others uncomfortable, my hope is to provide the safe space you need to be your true, authentic self. Being open about your life can be a very scary thing, but I believe there is beauty in being vulnerable and that true healing comes out of vulnerability and connection. The good news is, you do not have to walk through that discomfort alone. Regardless of what brings you to therapy, I hope that we are able to create a sense of peace through our work together.

Clients seek treatment not only to make a connection with someone, but to see concrete changes in their lives. You’ve made the first, BIG step by asking for help. Being vulnerable can be scary, but it is absolutely necessary to overcome the challenges that we face. Whether you’re struggling with a recent trauma, an unhealthy relationship, or just feeling anxious and/ or depressed, I would absolutely love to help you on your journey towards finding the best version of yourself.

Sometimes trying to feel better feels hopeless. No matter what you do or try, your anxiety just won't go away. The depression keeps hitting you like waves in the ocean, coming up over and over again. Or maybe it's one of your most important relationships. You just can't seem to figure things out with your partner. No matter what parenting technique you try, you just can't seem to get through to your teenager. I don't know exactly where you are at today, but I do know how it can be intimidating to ask for help.

I want to hear your story and help you work through any hurts burdening you. Life is difficult and we have seasons where we need someone to journey with us. I will be a person who will give you unconditional care yet also try to help you broaden how you are seeing your story. A slight shift in perspective can make a great impact on your understanding of a problem and how to work through it. We will be serious and we will laugh together. Sometimes we'll laugh at each other. Keeping one's sense of humor is very beneficial in difficult times. I look forward to meeting you and seeing you grow into the better person you want to become.

Choosing therapy requires great courage! I consider it a privilege to walk alongside those seeking growth and healing through the challenges of their lives while they seek what it means to flourish. Everyone can benefit from having a safe, supportive, unbiased space where they feel completely seen and heard.

Are you suffering from anxiety, panic, OCD or depression? If so, you deserve to feel better and you CAN feel better with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is scientifically tested and is proven to produce lasting relief. Many therapists claim to use CBT, but at Freeman-Burchfield Institute we passionately pursue excellence in our application of CBT. Mastery is our goal. We not only practice CBT but as fellow humans we too have seen the impact CBT has had in our own mental health and relationships. We believe that regardless of how mild or how serious the issue CBT is for every brain!

I work with children (10+), adolescents, adults, and the geriatric population providing individual, play, & relational therapy along with parent education with biological, foster, and adopted children.

His focus is helping to calm anxiety when he senses it by being present and tranquil.

My life feels like chaos! How can I get past my past? How can I save my marriage? How can I achieve my goals in life? These are common issues that bring people into counseling. To borrow a quote from coach Wooden "although there is no progress without change, not all change is progress." Getting started can feel uncomfortable at first but usually as you proceed most people are engaged, energized, and feeling the benefits. My style is such that it does not feel like therapy--rather someone you know who has been down this road as well.

I believe all individuals carry heavy questions about their life: Why am I here? What am I supposed do? Why do I feel bad? The weight of these thoughts can cause distress in our minds and bodies. All age groups bear these questions, albeit in different ways and expressions. There are not simple answers, yet you can find healing through the universality of exploring your meaning. I believe in your power to heal and your desire to feel whole. I believe you are doing the best you can do with the tools you have. And I will listen and support you, welcome shadows and joys equally, and will encourage you to do the same.

Hi there! I’m so glad you’re searching for the support you need and deserve. As a therapist, I believe that you are the expert in your own experience. I love working with clients who are willing to do the hard work of digging into the emotions and beliefs that keep us stuck in cycles of stress. My biggest passion is helping clients dismantle shame. I am a firm believer that we have all been directly affected by shameful messages about food, our bodies, and our sexuality, and I want for everyone to be able to experience freedom in these areas.

I believe in creating a safe place is that allows opportunity to build trust and connection. Openning up can be scary, stressful and difficult. As you to learn skills and self understanding you increase confindence as well as success. Changing thoughts and perspective will allow you to gain control over old fears and habits. Life experiences, big and small, can leave scars on us which can be labelled as anxiety, depression or trauma. Traumatic events such as accidents, illness, abuse or major loses can create a sense of numbing or shutting down that make it difficult to experience happiness or even relaxation.
