"I believe that everyone needs at least one person in their life that "breathes life" into that person. Just as we need air to breathe, we need affirmation, understanding and connection--especially when dealing with our most intimate issues. Before we can bare our soul, we must be able to trust someone. I would like to be that someone for you. I work with individuals and families that struggle with many different issues such as school, work, relationships or crisis's of faith. I have a special interest in working with those who have endured traumatic experiences - adults or children.

Hello! I’m so glad you’re here. One of the most difficult parts of finding a therapist is finding a therapist that clicks with you. That’s part of the reason why I offer consultations prior to booking a full session with me! You and I both want to make sure that I’m someone that can help you in this walk of life that you’re currently in. I believe that every person is going to go through seasons where they need someone to meet them where they are and allow them to be vulnerable about their needs. I want to be able to be that for all of my clients while also giving them tools for growth.

My practice is centered around the belief that problems can over take us at any moment large or small; asking for help is not a display of weakness but a sign of strength. I am personable and straight forward with therapy clients. I view individuals from a family system perspective, understanding how an individual experiences their world is important in understanding how to help them locate strengths to move forward. I have worked with many people seeking help with career transitions, anxiety, depression, marriage difficulties, divorces, loss of a loved one and the grief that follows.

Are you an individual that needs to prioritize your mental health and well-being? Daily challenges, stress, chronic pain, PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief, and the unique struggles that come with aging can be overwhelming. Come share with me a safe and empathetic space to express your thoughts and feelings as I guide and support you towards emotional (the ability to cope with and manage emotions) and mental (the ability to think clearly and make good decisions) healing. My goal is to help you navigate life's complexities, foster personal growth, and encourage self-care reaching the goals you set and the positive results you desire.

Anger, irritability, meltdowns, continued sadness, and moping, constant “I don’t know” responses to questions are only a few of the things that get under our skin as parents. But there is more to a child’s behavior than meets the eye. I partner with youth, their parents, grandparents, and childcare givers just like you to find answers, offer hope, and build a toolbox of skills and resources that helps you cope in a more behavior-changing way. I create a safe place to talk about the ‘why’ underneath the ‘what’ of behaviors you see and in understanding the ‘why’ then a better course of action can be outlined.

Addictions and Biblical Counseling are a series of powerful tools that profoundly improve relationships. Biblical Counseling utilizes the Sacred Scriptures, Conflict Resolution, and Mediation as conduits in understanding and resolving chaotic, dysfunctional, mayhem filled and toxic relationships with others as well as yourself. Addiction Counseling approaches the addicted person therapeutically with empathetic, sympathetic care, and compassion. With decades of experience as an Addictions and Biblical Counselor, I offer a variety of approaches that will assist you in succinctly eradicating present emotional and social discomforts.

Are you tired of putting effort into people and problems that require more energy than you have and it's still NEVER enough! Does your involvement lead to the loss of your identity and often leads to a bad situation getting worse?! Now it's you who goes to bed depressed, wake up anxious, and feel lost because you've given everything you got! Living, loving, and supporting yourself or others is not suppose to be exhausting or one-sided. One-way streets have to end somewhere. I can help reroute you to Restoration Ave. where you will find the Recovery Inn and Suites! Our mission is Changing Hearts and Restoring Hearts Trust (CHART).

Journeying this life can bring challenges and trials that could be eased or comforted through self-discovery, self-compassion, reaching personal goals, and strengthened relationships. I would be honored to walk alongside you, and/or your family, as you strive to be your best self, whether that be through healing and restoration, or through the development of boundaries and inner strength. Counseling brings an environment where you are accepted for who you are and where you are. It is my desire to create a safe place for you to explore your healing without judgment but through therapeutic connection and an abundance of compassion.

Are you ready to do the hard work of change? If so, let's get started. I'm not the kind of counselor that utters a few "uh-huhs" while you talk for an hour. I will challenge you and support you through the process of change and goal seeking. I'm much like a coach, teacher, learning guide, and honest friend. My straightforward Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach will teach you how to confront beliefs and behaviors that aren't serving your goals and objectives. I will challenge you to explore new ways of thinking and believing while giving you tangible skills and tools for your journey.

It is vital for each client to feel comfortable with their counselor. Therapy works best when it is open and honest so that trust is built within sessions. The client and counselor work together as a team to find the problems, set goals, and put effort into the solutions so that the client can grow into who they desire to become.

Are you feeling hopeless, helpless, and overwhelmed? Do you feel as though no one understands you? Are you struggling with your relationships? Do you feel as though you just don't fit in anywhere? Are you stuck and don't know where to turn? My passion is to encourage and walk alongside you in your journey to a more peaceful and productive life. My goal is to help you find happiness, to be content with yourself, and to learn how to love and appreciate the unique person that you are.

My ideal client has hope, a feeling of expectation and a desire for a certain thing to happen. Be encouraged. There is hope for that change you have been longing for. With 20+ years of experience in the fields of counseling and education, I delight to join you on your journey of change. I work from a trauma focused model, striving to resolve deeply disturbing experiences, restoring lives that are shaken by events and personal challenges, reestablishing connections and attachments that you were created to enjoy.

Therapy is a powerful choice of self love and care. Living with unprocessed pain and change can block your clarity and freedom to pursue inner peace, life-giving relationships and living out your true worth and identity. My aspiration in the therapeutic relationship is to be a safe, empowering place to process life honestly. As everyone has physical and financial health, we also have mental, emotional and relational health. Our resources are invested in exterior aspects of our lives, so it is important to make as much, if not more, investment toward the inner self which affects every other area.

My therapeutic philosophy involves utilizing a holistic approach incorporating Gestalt and Adlerian therapies. As a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in athletes, children, adolescents, and young adults, I frequently work with clients experiencing issues related to poor sport or school performance, life changes during adolescence, life transitioning from college to career, parenting issues, sibling relationships, and divorce family transitioning. Topical issues may include low self-esteem , ADHD, transitioning from athletic identity, peer relationships, anger management, self-mutilation, eating disorders, and self-empowerment. A fundamental element in my approach is establishing the therapeutic relationship through rapport and building trust between the client and the therapist.
