Depression, Anxiety, Relationship issues,... Knowing how to manage life can be difficult and there are times when we feel stuck, unable to move forward. You may find yourself dealing with the same problems over and over. Knowing how to move through these issues takes work, a willingness to change, and an objective eye. My goal is to encourage you and help you get to the core of the issue, to help you identify your blind spots in order that you can move through your situation and make the changes necessary for you to grow and have the life you want.

As a parent of a preteen and a teenage young adult, I understand the joys and the challenges of parenting in today's world. As a psychologist, I bring the knowledge and experience to assist when life becomes difficult.

Not accepting new clients at this time! I believe that many people reach a point in their lives where they feel overwhelmed by life. This could be triggered by the loss of a job, a struggling marriage, family issues, or a personal battle. It can be hard to reach out for help. Sometimes it may feel easier just to withdraw or isolate, mask, or even ignore the problem. I've learned that while these may help temporarily, they don't make the problems go away. The best thing we can do for ourselves is to seek help and guidance through counseling.

I created Ekklesia Counseling Services LLC to address "people development" holistically. There are three areas of expertise that I have combined at Ekklesia to provide more opportunities to more people. 1) Mental Health Counseling 2) Career Counseling 3) Pastoral Counseling. My ideal client is someone that is experiencing transitions in life. Teenagers, college students, employment changes, loss etc.

My therapeutic focus is on helping clients identify and take responsibility for addressing issues ranging from minor life adjustment problems to serious mental health conditions based in brain chemistry deficits. Licensed as a clinical social worker since 1993, I have worked in the behavioral health field since 1979 in a variety of mental health and addictions-focused settings, including inpatient/hospital, intensive outpatient, outpatient, and educational programs. I also have an LMHC and an LCAC. I consider it an honor to work with clients courageous enough to ask for and accept help in meeting life's challenges.

Life can be difficult. A marriage that's just okay. An addiction you just can't quit. A chronic illness that has stolen the life you thought you would live. You don't know who you are anymore and what purpose you have. You want to be able to see the good in life and not dwell on the negative. You want a significant marriage or relationship. You want to work on your addiction and get support where you're at, not where everyone thinks you should be. You're ready to LIVE and learn how to find purpose in your suffering. You want hope. You want to understand YOU better and in return have more fulfilling relationships.

We all are searching for meaning and purpose in the midst of what often feels like an overwhelming and confusing world. I am passionate about helping both couples and individuals reconnect with hope. I believe hope and healing go hand in hand. I specialize in working with couples, helping them achieve a relationship based upon intimate connection in which each partner feels heard, understood, and loved. I help partners identify negative relationship patterns and help them begin to create healthier ways of interacting.

It's an uncertain time in our world today. I offer secure and confidential teletherapy sessions that you are able to do from your own home.

I work with individuals experiencing anxiety and depression and use both a cognitive and dialectical approach to therapy.

Sometimes we get stuck and feel trapped by our experiences related to substance use, addictive thinking, trauma, anxiety, depression and other addictive or high risk behaviors.

I would like the opportunity to help you build up and enhance your strengths, minimize and plan for your limitations, and give you hope and opportunities to make the changes you desire.

I enjoy working with individuals of diverse age groups, from childhood to adulthood. My goal is to empower my clients to deal more effectively with their life circumstances by eliciting insight and equipping them with adaptive coping skills; while utilizing their faith to assist them in the healing process.When working with children, I work closely with the parents to facilitate a team effort in addressing the needs of the child and the family as a whole.

I have experience working with a range of clients; some that are motivated towards specific goals, some that are stressed/overwhelmed by life's circumstances, and some that are struggling with various mental health issues. I have experience working with extensive trauma histories and have done a lot of family work as well. I'm comfortable walking alongside you in whatever your therapy endeavor may consist of.

Life can become overwhelming when it seems there are more challenges than triumphs. It is during those times that it can help to have someone come alongside us on our journey to highlight our strengths and help us build skills to conquer the challenges. I am passionate about working with older children, adolescents, and women who are dealing with adjustment, anxiety, attention-deficit, or depressive challenges, or who find themselves in various stages of self-discovery and life transitions. I also enjoy working with parents to strengthen family connections and with couples desiring to build or re-establish emotional connection.

My passion is assisting individuals and families working through concerns/struggles that at times seem too hard to handle!

I work with individuals & couples. I work with a wide range of issues, such as grief & loss, marital issues, chronic illness, & trauma to name a few. I believe that everyone has their own strengths and sometimes simply needs help figuring out their strengths and working on turning their weaknesses into strengths. I feel that everyone has the ability to change. I won't push you to that next step, but I can help point out the next step towards bettering yourself. More than anything I want to offer you hope, and show you there can be peace in every moment.
