I have a special interest in helping family members retain or regain relationships. Problems may arise from addiction, depression, or a variety of other issues. The opportunity to grow and move forward with life can be difficult, especially if you are battling addiction, with or without co-occurring disorders.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 20 years of experience in the helping profession. I provide a safe, non-judgmental experience in my therapeutic approach. The therapeutic relationship is the key to doing transformative work and creating positive life changes. I welcome an opportunity to partner with you on the road to wellness. I have worked in inpatient hospital systems, outpatient, and residential treatment centers. I have a wide range of experiences with clients seeking to start or continue their healing journeys.

Taking the first step to start this journey is something that you should be proud of and know that it takes a lot of courage! I have made the comparison to clients that "finding a good therapist is like finding a comfortable pair of jeans or shoes sometimes you need to try on a few before you find the right fit for you". As a therapist, I am interested in making things comfortable for folks that they can feel safe in the space. I have been in the field for almost 29 years now and still very much adore being a social worker. It is an honor and privilege to witness people grow!

Coming from a military background where I served in the United States Navy for 10 years before being Honorably Discharged, I am very familiar with military life and transition. I do enjoy working with individuals from all different backgrounds and consider myself to be culturally competent. I believe that life, like therapy is about pushing yourself outside your comfort zone, embracing growth learning and developing healthy habits that ultimately makes an individual the best version of themselves.

I specialize in working with adult individuals experiencing trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and relationship issues and couples experiencing conflict or wanting to strengthen their relationships.

Some commonly believed myths about couples counseling are (1) it’s the first step to divorce or separation, (2) a partner is going to feel outnumbered and gained up on, and (3) it involves nothing but tears, sweat, and pain. I am passionate about helping couples heal and rebuild trust after experiencing hurt, neglect, or an affair. I am all about helping couples find their spark again developing habits and communication patterns that help connect them and feel understood by one another. Couples therapy can be fun! Humor lowers tensions and brings a sense of lightheartedness into therapy, reminding us all that we’re only human.
