I help clients understand their symptoms and learn methods of coping. I also encourage clients to create meaning for their experiences and grow as a result. I assist clients in assigning meaning to hallucinations and/or intrusive thoughts so that they can use appropriate methods to take back control, including use of client's spiritual beliefs and practices as well as CBT and DBT methods.

I truly believe healing is not a “one-size-fits-all’ practice. I approach every client with an open heart and mind, acknowledging and honoring one’s truth. I embrace a holistic approach uniquely tailored to fit the needs of each individual client. I focus heavily on understanding my client’s specific perspective on the world and utilize that knowledge to provide the most thorough and compassionate care possible. You are the expert of your own life. It is my goal to provide a safe space for you to turn up the volume on your own intuition, and walk yourself back home.

I can help you create appropriate coping skills and gain more awareness in your life. My goal is to empower you and watch you grow into your highest potential. Together, we can create goals and work hard to reach those goals. All you have to do is try.

Love. Joy. Ecstasy. Awe. In my 16 years of clinical experience, I’ve discovered that we each have far more capacity for these expansive feelings than we often realize. Whether you are struggling to get through the daily grind, or feel ready to fly through the stars, I can work with you collaboratively to shape a life that fulfills your highest dreams, and maybe even soars beyond them! I’m eager to share what I’ve learned about our abilities to break out of old patterns of shame, hurt, and fear into fruitful creativity and communion with the most inspiring aspects of being alive.

I have been in the field of psychology and counseling for 30 years with extensive experience in both outpatient and inpatient settings. I have tailored my private practice to provide a safe atmosphere for adults to address the maladaptive behaviors and difficult emotional states that have created obstacles for them and to move to place where they feel empowered in their lives and relationships. I encourage the client to build on their strengths and to promote self-care and wellness. I use EMDR, a revolutionary trauma treatment as well as a focus on attachment, to treat the lasting effects that difficult experiences may leave.

I work collaboratively with clients to have an understanding of the events & issues in their lives. My approach to counseling includes a client-centered approach establishing a strong working-relationship. There are no "one-size-fits-all approaches" to address all problems with all individuals. As a result, I use a variety of approaches working with clients to meet their goals. I seek to understand the impact of a client's life-experiences, family history, personality, values, etc. on their development and relationships with others. I can work with individuals who have ambivalence about making changes & gain insight into problematic behaviors.

We incorporate relational, person-centered, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness-based, and other evidence-based interventions.

I am a Christian, trauma-based therapist. I work quickly to discover the root issues of the symptoms with which you present, in counseling. While using a Christian world view, my approach to therapy is to utilize EMDR/IFS to heal past wounds, hurts, and traumas that may be impacting you today. We meet clients where they are and integrate spirituality as they feel comfortable.

Are you frequently feeling happiness is just out of reach? Are you feeling overwhelmed and/or stressed-out with the challenges of today?

By applying complementary therapeutic approaches in a non-judgmental environment, we can work together to improve your coping skills, confidence, and self-esteem. I help to empower you through personal development tools and spiritual practices to support overall well-being. Meetup on Saturday August 6, 2022 - 9:00 AM
