Taking the first steps towards personal growth can be difficult and you should be proud of yourself for starting this journey! If you find yourself struggling with feelings of anxiety and depression, low self-esteem, trauma, grief/loss, life transitions, anger management, burnout, perfectionism, and stress - I am here to help. It is my goal to make sure that our therapy sessions are a space that feels safe, where you feel heard, and where you are validated. It is my hope that you will leave each session having learned something about yourself and with a game plan to work on outside of our therapy sessions.

I work with clients who have concerns with trauma, anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, anger, grief, loss, relationship conflicts, sexual abuse, interpersonal violence, spirituality, couples and family issues. I work to bring hope and wholeness so clients can live their best life and achieve the goals they desire.

Every person deserves to have a voice, feel worthy, and experience validation. I would like to help facilitate these aspects of your life grow through the development of a positive therapeutic relationship. I will create a warm and caring environment, free of judgments, to allow you to open yourself up to your vulnerabilities at your own pace. Therapy can be used as a tool and a space to allow yourself to gain strength as you face life transitions, familial/relational conflicts, or even job stress. I work with individuals, couples, and families as we come together to find solutions.

Reaching out for help takes a lot of courage and insight. I am here to help. I have worked in the counseling field for the last 20 years in private practice, treatment centers and in Higher Education. I enjoy helping others work through life situations and difficulties to regain their sense of self and worth. I utilize the treatment modality that fits your personality and comfort level. I bring with me a wealth of knowledge, empathy and a belief that no situation is hopeless.

I connect with clients who are potentially struggling to come to terms or identify some of their emotions or experiences, and want to begin to learn how to navigate that.

She works most often utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Family Therapy or Structural Family Therapy frameworks. Morgan considers herself to be flexible, open, and empathetic to every client in the room with the ultimate goal of working collaboratively to fulfill each client's desire for happier, healthier relationships.

Not every therapist is for a client and not every client for a therapist. The Client-Clinician relationship is of greatest importance. I work with a variety of populations, presenting issues, and within different realms of interventions and theories. It is not a one shoe fits all. I meet the client where they are and work accordingly. Now that is not to say I do not nudge gently with a soft challenge. If I didn't I would not be doing my work, nor the service you (and everyone) deserves! I utilize animals within therapy work in sessions.

If you’re looking at this page and considering therapy, that means you are already engaging in a journey towards healing. Recognizing that you are struggling can be really scary. Telling your story to a new therapist can also be a difficult task. Your thoughts, feelings, and journey deserve to be honored and respected. My mission as a clinician is to collaboratively walk with you through whatever hardships you are experiencing in order to accomplish the goals that are important to you. I adapt my approach to best fit your needs, because in my office I work for you and want to focus on what is most important to you.

Do you feel like your worry is taking over? Do you tend to think about everything? Does this sometimes lead you to spend inordinate amounts of time researching only to find yourself paralyzed by indecision or so exhausted you don't have the energy to implement what you learned. I help people manage anxiety because if it has a chance, it will take over! Relationships, kids, work, life can feel like too much even for the healthiest among us. You can find relief, you can get back to a place that feels more free.

I did not arrive here by accident. I was created and birthed to help people. With a background in education, I love to teach. Based on my personal style, I also love to listen. Being a man of great faith, I believe in people and carry compassion. Combining all of that, by listening, asking the right questions, and a dash of teaching (skills, perspectives, and understanding) I am a well-balanced, faith-based, therapeutic professional. I believe families are part of God's plan for the Earth. I would love to be the support you are seeking.

Life is beautiful and messy. Recovery is not linear. And healing takes more than just time. It is our experiences from birth to the present that have shaped us to be who we are. Therapy can help peel back those layers of experiences and allow us to better understand how our experiences affected us and learn how to move beyond the past and reshape our future. Perhaps past trauma prevents you from feeling safe and happy or relationship issues are crushing your spirit. Maybe recent loss has triggered pain that seems unbearable or life transitions are very overwhelming.

My ideal therapy situation is working with a client who is hoping to explore options to resolve circumstances that are causing them pain and discomfort. This will undoubtedly involve personal change, so a willingness to look at self and the courage to take steps to move forward are necessary. Recognizing how difficult this can be, therapy requires a safe and brave space allowing the client to practice vulnerability which leads to openness to change. My person-centered approach places the client in the “driver’s seat”, allowing them to set the pace but with guidance and support to push forward.

Life can feel like a rollercoaster at times. Often we want someone to listen to us and offer genuine support. We provide an environment of active listening and positive feedback and encouragement.
