My goal is to provide supportive, empowering counseling that enables clients to reach their potential. I believe human potential is limitless, but we are often held back by our own self-limiting beliefs. Self-defeating narratives are often accompanied by anxiety, depression, addiction, low self-esteem, etc. I assist clients in examining any false narratives that may be holding them back, while also exploring new, more effective patterns of behavior. From this new vantage point, clients see from a place of greater clarity, and are better able to make clear decisions how they want to move forward.

I welcome you and aim to make you feel at ease as I offer professional guidance using research-based interventions in a confidential, non-judgmental atmosphere. Whether you are seeking to improve interpersonal relationships, find greater fulfillment, overcome addictions, depression or anxiety, I can help guide you in the most effective personalized approach. We all experience situations in our lives when we may need professional support as we face obstacles that seem overwhelming or too daunting to overcome on our own. I believe no problem exists without both a solution and a potential positive outcome.

Now offering teletherapy sessions in Arizona, Washington & North Carolina. Relationships can be challenging, particularly the ones that are most important to us. We want to feel known, connected and loved but often end up hurt and lonely, stuck in patterns which aren't working. Relational pain can show up as anxiety, fear, depression or grief among other things. I have extensive training in Psychodyamic and Family Systems Therapy. I have also learned directly from masters in the field of Couples Therapy: John & Julie Gottman and Phil Ringstrom to address these very issues.

If you are dealing with anxiety, depression, or burnout right now, know that you are not alone. Life can be very stressful at times. You should be proud you have finally decided to take the courageous (and I’m sure anxiety provoking…that’s perfectly normal) step to reach out for help. All of us get to that point where we need someone to come alongside us to help us feel better. I would be honored to take that next step with you. I can provide therapy from a Christian perspective for those that want this. I also have experience working with pastors and health care workers dealing with burnout.

Authenticity is a key component of my life philosophy and my therapeutic treatment philosophy. Being real, genuine, and vulnerable are critical components of any healthy relationship be it with yourself or others. People are often too quick to condemn themselves and struggle to realize their own potential out of fear. There is no judgment here. No right or wrong ways, no lanes to stay in. Only you and your needs. Whatever it is that you are working through or need to work through you do not have to face it alone or suffer in silence anymore. I am here and as a natural-born healer.

If your child is struggling with emotional outbursts, low self-esteem, or behavioral challenges, I understand how overwhelming it can be. But there’s hope—and there’s help. As a parent, it can feel like you’re running out of options and patience. But you don't have to face this alone. At Ragamuffin Counseling Services, we specialize in brain-based, trauma-informed play therapy to help children navigate their emotions, improve their behavior, and develop a healthy sense of self.

Yes, it is crazy “out there” and sometimes the “crazy” within makes it difficult to discern where one ends and the other begins. “It’s overwhelming, I don’t know why…It wasn’t always like this.” “I find myself frozen in the middle of it all wondering where I fit in, what’s it all about?” “Why am I here?” “I don’t know who I am.” Let’s talk…using a variety of therapeutic approaches together we can move through and process the events, situations, experiences, etc. that have you immobilized. I believe in treating the whole person and employing different therapeutic modalities based on what aligns with you and your needs.
