Life is meant to be enjoyed, not endured. If you lack satisfaction in your life, counseling can help. I have a passion to see individuals live to their full potential with peace of mind, purpose in action and joy for everyday living. With over 15 years experience in counseling, education and pastoral ministry combined, I offer an educated perspective on many life issues. I am a trained in many trauma based and relational/family approaches to wholeness. I have extensive experience in working with teens and their families, couples and women's issues especially trauma, anger, emotional regulation, anxiety & depression.

I am continually amazed at the ability of the human spirit to heal. A traumatic event or the build-up of everyday living can feel overwhelming and you may become disconnected from the person you used to be. You sometimes find yourself coping with life in ways you never would have expected. Recognizing that your coping skills are no longer able to manage your stress is the first step. My clients work to rediscover, and often discover, the person they were meant to be. My joy comes from witnessing my clients move from being stuck to living fully.

My passion is to see people experience the healing, transformation and restoration that they desire and deserve. I understand that by the time most individuals seek counseling they are feeling desperate and stuck. My goal is to meet you with empathy, genuineness and understanding while assisting you in realizing your strengths and the resources needed to achieve your desired therapeutic goals. I offer validation and perspective while encouraging your self-awareness. No feeling is final and present pain can become a catalyst for transformation and growth.
