Are you spending an excessive amount of time worrying? Feeling exhausted and overwhelmed? Dealing with anxiety, depression, professional/academic concerns or just generally feeling "stuck"? Are you seeking a safe place to dig into thoughts feels and behaviors resulting from marginalization or trauma? You are not alone! In fact, most of us struggle with some (if not all) of these concerns from time to time.

I believe that treatment should not simply focus on the problems in your life. Effective treatment should also identify what is working or could work and help you take that to the next level. I seek to empower people with the skills, insight, and wisdom to help themselves. I use a collaborative approach to help people increase awareness of where they have been, who they are now, and where they would like to take their future. I utilize evidenced-based treatments to ensure the highest level of efficacy while tailoring the treatments to the unique circumstances of each individual.

I work with adults, couples and families who are experiencing conflict, negative or anxious thoughts, feelings of being "stuck" or hopeless, lonely or insignificant. I also work with individuals and couples seeking infidelity recovery. God has a good plan for everyone but realizing that plan can be difficult today with the myriad of distractions and demands on our time and emotions. Situations like divorce, loss, health, betrayal, and other conditions can compound the struggle. I provide a reorienting, nurturing voice of compassion to walk beside you through those times, to help you appreciate your true self and enjoy life again.

Most of us struggle sometimes. If you are feeling stuck or overwhelmed, I'd be honored to work with you on what you might want to change or accomplish.. It is essential to me to meet clients wherever they are with compassion for their challenges. Often anxiety and depression interfere with how we view ourselves and relate to others. If your moods are influencing your self esteem and relationships, together we can explore options, in line with your personal values, to change what is possible and cope with what isn't....resulting in greater peace, better relationships and more effective function.
