I provide a safe and accepting environment to heal from past traumas, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. If you've tried before but things just aren't coming together you know how frustrating it is to not be able to be the real you. At first I'll help you identify where these difficulties come from, followed by learning and practicing ways to manage negative symptoms, and last we work together to resolve these issues at the root so you don't have to worry about them reoccurring. If you are ready, I'd be honored to work with you.

Welcome to the Mental Fitness Group, an innovative private practice focused on achieving mental fitness through exemplary healthcare. Much like physical fitness for physical health, we must practice mental fitness to maintain our mental health. I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with 20 years' experience in mental health treatment and psychological and neuropsychological assessments for adults, women, veterans, and the elderly.

Does life feel like it is too much to handle right now? Life can be hard, stressful, and overwhelming in any given season. Then add a traumatic event and it can seem like game over. Trauma comes in many forms and can wreck havoc on your life and the life of those around you. At times it can feel like chaos is surrounding you. I would love to help you or your loved one to create a safe place for the healing journey to begin. I enjoy working alongside young adults, adolescents, and professionals with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and vicarious/secondary trauma.

It is my belief that therapy begins with a safe and respectful environment where individual and relational needs are compassionately addressed. I work diligently to provide that environment where healing and growth can take place. Together we will work to build a trusting relationship and to identify changes you wish to make in order to support positive growth in your life. With twenty five years in the field of mental health, and as a therapist, husband, and father, I draw from a broad range of life experiences, as a roadmap into my client's world.

I believe that all change begins with the determination to make something different in ones life. Feelings often control the choices we make and cause reaction instead of response to situations. Counseling is an opportunity to do self discovery and look at what needs are to be met. I really enjoy helping others to find behaviors that meet their goals and consider responsibility for what they can change. I am a Christian and will guide others with spiritual guidance if preferred.

If you are struggling in your current circumstances, there is hope! Michael Jordan once said "Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it." It is my joy and purpose to help others find their way through or around their obstacles. I show hope to others in order to help them through those circumstances that bring them to me. If you are ready to make some changes, I am here for you!

Life, it has many challenges, but you don't have to face them alone. I will help guide you through those challenges so that you are able to become a better version of yourself. I work with individuals of all ages and use various counseling theories, including EMDR, on a case by case basis. My goal as a counselor is to support people when facing adversity in life. I work with clients to set personal growth goals and find ways to help them attain these goals so that life becomes manageable and enjoyable.

Everyone has a light within them that helps them brave through hard seasons in their lives. We each have the choice in how we use that light. I have a passion for those who need an advocate that will not just listen but will support their growth to a healthier lifestyle. From different therapeutic approaches, each client is different and not one approach fits all. Just as each person is different, my approach to counseling sessions are grounded in Christian values to bring a safe environment for anyone going through a difficult time.

When life becomes overwhelming, therapy can be a great supplement to the coping skills and support systems you already have. Every client brings an individual set of goals and needs to therapy. In my practice, I have developed a holistic approach to healing. I encourage clients to speak openly and I commit to listening without judgment while providing guidance that is tailored to my client’s specific objectives.
