It has been said that control kills correction and comparison is the thief of joy. If you have been struggling in life to find happiness, to reach your full potential, or just feeling as if you are not living your best life, the time to begin your journey toward the best version of yourself is now. Using a variety of counseling approaches in a judgment free atmosphere provides for the best possible outcomes from therapy. Whatever your concerns are today, I will meet you where you are as we walk through life’s challenges to improve future outcomes.

You are emotionally and mentally exhausted; and ready to throw in the towel. You and your spouse rarely talk to each other these days. And when you do talk, it is nothing more than shrugs, one-word answers, spiteful words, and bored eye rolls. Mortgages, finances, kids, college expenses, retirement - all these subjects cause friction and have created walls between the two of you that feel insurmountable. To the outside world you appear as a "put together" family; but inside the walls are crumbling and you feel a shadow of your former selves.

I have a passion with working with individuals working through multi-facets of life issues including mental illness, stress and anxiety, trauma, marital and relationship stress, self-identity related issues and regulating emotions. I have a passion with helping individuals work on goals including regulating emotions, impulsivity and trauma while increasing self-confidence, quality of life and improve connectivity and intimacy in relationships. I value my Christian faith and offer an option for a focus on Christian principles to be incorporated in the counseling process for those individuals who share similar beliefs.

Looking for a therapist to help you get from where you are to the better life you seek can be overwhelming and confusing. I believe YOU are the expert on your life, and when you choose to work with me I respect and listen to you. I have had training in powerful, up-to-date approaches that bring about fast and effective relief for many problems, but nothing is more important than learning from you and working with you to make things better.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, and anger? Are you unhappy in your relationships? Discover what patterns of thinking and behaving are keeping you in this rut. Explore what fears, anger and emotional injuries are keeping you from being your best self. Together, we can address the symptoms that are manifesting so that you feel better. You CAN change the way you feel. I connect and build rapport with clients who have not had much success in therapy prior and focus on building a trusting, therapeutic relationship. Call me to see if I am the right therapist for you!

A basic theme in behavior can be viewed as a directional thought process. If we think it, believe it, we can become it. This thought process can apply to how one handles a problem. There are times that problems interfere with daily life in such a way that it grows into an overwhelming place of emotional discord in our personal and/or professional lives. Stress, anxiety, depression, and premarital/marital issues can be metaphorically high on the Richter scale for mental health therapy. These factors can also be connected to deeper issues related to human behavior. Welcome services are provided for individuals, couples, and families.

Life is a series of transitions that feature successes and challenges. Whether you are dealing with a relationship conflict, birth of a new baby, career change or loss of a loved one, the ultimate goal is to reach a healthy and fulfilling life. I would love to accompany you on your journey and help you with reaching your goals and experiencing a fulfilling life.

Stuck? People-Pleasing? Burnt out by life? Almost like no matter what you try to change or improve, those wheels just keep spinning, and you are exhausted. My ideal client is someone who is just ready to feel better. You may not exactly know what is going on or why these feelings are coming up all of a sudden. That's okay! You deserve someone who will collaborate with you no matter what you are dealing with. I believe connection and authenticity is the most vital part of the therapy process. Therapy is not just for fears and tears, but laughter and smiles too :) Let's tackle this together! (I hope you enjoy analogies!)

My practice is highly specialized using evidence-based methods that help couples, families and individuals. I am certified by both the Gottman Institute and the International Center for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy to help couples. I also work with individuals experiencing the challenge of depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, parenting issues or those needing to improve their relationships with the important people in their lives.

I am informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a basis for emotional processing and behavior change. I am deeply committed to respecting each person's individual experience and work to identify tools and interventions that fit the needs of each person. I believe in an integrative health model exploring the mind, body and environment. I believe that exploring the use of mindfulness techniques can have powerful positive effects with individuals who are open. My aim is to support individuals into awareness of their personal strengths and to encourage growth and healing from within, despite the external circumstances.

I welcome all clients to share the space with me, but I have experience working with those struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, and OCD. I enjoy working with people who are looking to create a change in their life or those who are seeking to explore more of themselves. Additionally, I seek to make my space a comfortable one for those are LGBTQIA+ and love working with clients on topics related to their gender or sexuality.

Through out the journey of life we are faced with obstacles and challenges. We might find ourselves struggling with broken or dysfunctional relationships, childhood trauma, illness or the death of a loved one. There might be times in our life in which we feel anxious, depressed even hopeless and we don't know where to turn. I am passionate about helping people find the inner peace and fulfillment we all seek by assisting you in acquiring tools for self-growth, for reducing anxiety and depression and for improved relationships. The process can be extremely rewarding and life changing!
