Youmake sense in the context of your own story. Many of us suffer from complex trauma which comes from repeated experiences in childhood when we felt helpless or unable to control what happened to us. The way you perceive yourself & the world is a direct result of what's happening in your nervous system: your thoughts, your feelings, your behaviors, your health, your relationships. This often leads to anxiety, depression, burnout, relational issues, & low self-esteem. You CAN heal and reconnect with your most authentic self. I strive to create a warm, comfortable, and safe environment as we embark on your healing journey together.

Providing therapy and working to help patients is my lifelong passion.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process and I use an interdisciplinary approach to therapy and tailor it to each client’s unique needs.

So you've tried therapy before, and it hasn't "worked". You've talked about your problems, they're still there, you're still bothered by your 'stuff' and it doesn't seem like it's ever going to be different. Excellent! Then you're in the right place. We don't just talk about things here, we actually do something about them! Instead of putting a bandaid on it, we're going to dig in and do some trauma work to resolve what's going on. Does that sound like a different approach? Most likely, but I'm a different kind of therapist!

Research shows the connection between client and therapist is the biggest predictor of client change, regardless of treatment techniques used in therapy. Technique is important, but if the client doesn't believe they are heard and understood or that the therapist isn't invested in them, they don't feel confident in the process and maybe don't come back.

I began my counseling profession after hitting bottom in 2001. Coming to terms with my past, littered by multiple addictions and trauma, was not easy. But throughout my own journey of healing, God opened doors I never thought possible. Serving 26 years in the military, I advocated for recovery prior to joining the private sector. I understand the complex intersection of culture, faith, and sexuality. Because of my own journey into healing, I have deep compassion for people in the grips of addiction.

It takes courage to reach out for help and find the right therapist. I believe good therapy starts with rapport building, getting to know you, and listening to your needs.

I incorporate Christian values, psychology, and compassion while challenging you to heal and grow along your personal journey. I value the opportunity to walk alongside as you let go of what holds you back so that you can reach your greatest potential.

These days everyone seems like they have it all together. Meanwhile, after work you crash and burn dreaming of your big ideas with zero oomph and tons of anxiety. You are tired, can’t sleep well, are gaining weight and sex (what is that?). You lost your mojo and I’m here to help you get it back. Remember when you were a complete badass? You know what I’m talking about! You made juggling it all seem effortless. Your motto was ‘you only live once’. But not anymore. he truth is, you are not alone. The rates of anxiety & depression are through the roof! Lack of energy is met with prescription medication that doesn't work.

We Have Immediate Openings! It's exhausting and frustrating when every day seems like a struggle. You have zero energy, you're exhausted, worried and you can't sleep at night. You've tried everything, you want to feel better in the worst way, but just can't seem to get there and you wonder if things will ever change.

My outpatient practice specifically centers on patients who have Autism and one or more additional mental health diagnoses. Studies have shown that over 70% of individuals with Autism likely have at least one co-occurring mental health disorder. At times, the combination of Autism + behavior problems + any mental health disorder makes recovery a challenge. It is my hope that providing treatment for my patients and their families which is tailored to their specific diagnoses combination will help provide the knowledge and support needed for success.

Trauma is any adverse experience that causes extreme emotional reaction: nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety etc. When meeting with me many reach their destination feeling guilty for their response to their unique experience — because its “less than” others. As we begin the journey to health and recovery, I assure all that their individual experience is different and unique. Our goal is to get to the point where you know that your feelings/emotions are not better or worse than another’s, as all individuals have a right to their feelings. No trauma is better, worse, harder or easier than another because it depends on how we react.
