We all have a unique story. One that has highs and lows, things that bring us joy, and things that have caused challenges, grief, and heartache. A desire for a life of abundance is written on our hearts. But sometimes our stories include hurdles and barriers that get in the way and keep us from the peace we long for. We often try numerous remedies or try to overcome these barriers on our own. But we aren’t meant to walk that road alone. It is my job as a therapist to create a space of safety, trust, and respect, so that you can explore, unpack, and make meaning of your experiences, and create the change that you want for your life.

“He heals the broken-hearted and bandages their wounds.” Psalm 143:2. To that end, I have been helping people work through grief, depression, anxiety, marriage and parenting issues, co-dependency and adoption issues and have used a variety of approaches to help people find hope and healing for 30 plus years. My commitment to each client is to provide a safe place to heal and grow where you can confidentially express concerns in an accepting atmosphere. I will provide professional services and remain committed to go the distance with you to help you gain insight and knowledge to successfully deal with life’s stressors.

As the parent of a child/teen that struggles with their wounded selves, you have tried everything. The exhaustive interventions that you have tried are going nowhere fast. Throwing in the towel is all that you have left. Your marriage is more daunting than it is invigorating and you keep hitting a wall with connecting to one another. Depression has you stuck in quicksand and the struggle is consuming you. Anxiety has its grip on you and it is controlling your life. You find yourself asking what more can you do? You feel all alone in your struggles and are having more moments of frustration than joy. Asking for help is hard.

That's it! You've had enough!! Life has dealt you something unlivable and you need help. You can't imagine it being easier, different. For a second, try and imagine someone offering support, guidance, and validation to help you process and overcome those difficult moments. Together we can help ease the tension, reduce the stress, change the helplessness, and move toward a more livable existence. With specialty training I help clients achieve this through various therapy tools, like EMDR, talk therapy, music, Play Therapy and expressive art therapy.

I see clients for individual therapy and psychological evaluations. My approach is individualized and based on my clients' needs, personal background, and goals. My therapy approach utilizes cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, & existential modalities, adapted specifically for my clients. I also incorporate positive psychology elements by being person-centered, non-judgmental, & utilizing strengths in developing goals & a plan for treatment. My clients can expect to gain insight into the nature of their difficulties, with an individualized plan for progress and improved functioning.

Our mental health is no less vital than our physical health, but one area many of us choose to ignore. Often, we become out of balance with our emotions, career and relationships. We may lose a sense of control and only hope to numb the pain. Although life can feel complicated, what isn't complicated is our need to feel loved, respected and that we matter. Caring for yourself is a good place to start.

Going to a counselor can be pretty frightening; my goal is to make it as comfortable as possible. I believe that we all need help at times to work through difficult issues in our lives. I count it a privilege to help clients with the stresses of life. Beginning therapy can be a big step toward being the healthiest version of yourself and living the best life possible-no matter what challenges you may be facing. Through therapy, you can change self-destructive behaviors and habits, resolve painful feelings, improve your relationships, and more.

Welcome! It’s admirable that you have taken the first step down the path of continued healing and growth. Although you may have experienced a variety of setbacks that leave you feeling inferior in this world, you deserve every opportunity at achieving your greatest quality of life. I believe implementing a strength-based, client-centered approach allows me to provide individualized care, while supporting personal growth and change.

Therapy or Counseling is defined as "helping people live happier, healthier, and more productive lives". As a therapist I apply research-based techniques to help my clients develop more effective habits and behaviors. I approach counseling as a collaborative exercise; where we work together to resolve your goals.

I work to help clients find harmony and balance within their lives. I work with clients who are seeking support in relationships, help in reducing symptoms of anxiety or depression, and those who would like to unpack past experiences. I have experience working with adolescents/teens, families, and couples. My experience also includes working with those recovering from substance abuse and who have past complex trauma.

Our behaviors are a direct result of the thoughts we have about our feelings. When we don't understand those feelings, our behaviors might not make sense to us. 17 years of working with adolescents in an educational setting gives me a unique perspective when it comes to therapy. I love working with families and adults alike to help them feel better about themselves and create lasting connections. Connection and relationships are what make humans unique and beautiful. Struggles with relationships are often an indication of struggles within oneself. Counseling is an opportunity to work on oneself, heal, so thriving is possible.

Often, those years of struggle are the most difficult, and we need someone to help guide us. Allow me to help you in your journey called life. My goal is that regardless of what is going on in your life, I can provide a safe space filled with hope, understanding, and trust where you can be comfortable in sharing your story. I have experienced working with a variety of people who face different struggles. Seeking therapy can be frightening; however, if you are ready to make a change, I am ready to meet you in the middle.
