Is your adolescent struggling in school? Are you having difficulty keeping his/her behavior under control? Is your child acting differently (isolating themselves, arguing more than usual, avoiding peers, self-harming)? Are you struggling with a divorced or blended family situation? I would love to be able to help you, your child, and your family. I have been working with at-risk, troubled youth and their families for over 15 years. This includes working closely with the school, juvenile system, and medical practitioners, as well.

I believe people can change, because I see it daily with my clients. I believe it because I lost over 130 pounds. My specialties include couples counseling, grief and loss, and trauma. I also have extensive experience working with depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. I know therapy can feel intimidating. Before becoming a therapist, I was a client and worked with a therapist on ways to improve my quality of life. This experience taught me what clients need. I know that the client/therapist relationship is the most important aspect of treatment. The better the relationship, the more healing that occurs.

I love working with clients across the lifespan. I see children as young as elementary school and work with clients/families up into the time of death. I have provided many of these services in-person in a hospital or home care setting while working 9 years in hospice and in oncology programs. Supporting folks during their grief is my specialty, whether due to changes in the life cycle, chronic illness, and terminality. I also personally am a guardian and caregiver for my parent who lives with Bipolar Disorder and advanced Alzheimer's Disease, so I bring several years of personal advocacy and practice experience based on this role.

There have been times in my life where I've looked around and realized that I am not where I want to be and understand how lonely and frustrating that can be. There are many things that get in the way of us reaching our full potential. It may be that we are stressed and unsure how to deal with life experiences or just an overwhelming sense of fear or sadness. Whatever the reason, my hope is to help support and encourage you to understand yourself better and how to best respond and cope with life's emotions and situations.

I enjoy working with persons from all different walks of life. I work with individual, couples, families, and children, but particularly feel a passion to work with persons who are struggling with new transitions in their life such as grief, trauma, divorce, and relationship conflicts. I have worked in community mental health with individuals, couples, children and families with various diagnosis such as ADHD, ODD, trauma, depression, anxiety, conduct issues, and school based related issues. I also enjoy diving into theological conversations leading to liberation, strengthening one's faith, and helping integrate faith, spirituality, and relational health for those interested.

The story of our lives often shape our day to day experiences. As we open up to our story and how we ended up at a certain space in our lives, we begin to see patterns. We begin to see unhealthy ways we have responded to people, relationships that have been less than productive, or events that unfolded different than we had hoped. In order to grow and set a new course, we need to identify the patterns that have lead us here. Therapy is about doing just that - uncovering underlying, most the time subconscious, ways of thinking, so that we can become the people that we want to be.

My focus is to help find solutions for the concerns you bring to counseling. As a licensed marriage & family therapist, I work with couples & individuals. I utilize solution-focused techniques to build hope & create change. I also work from a systemic approach to improve relationships. I have been trained as a Professional Christian counselor & can include those services upon request. However, I respect those who do not desire to include a spiritual component. My areas of emphasis include marital issues, healthy emotions & boundaries. Contact me to find your solutions! PLEASE NOTE: the above number CANNOT receive TEXT messages.

Are you the parent or guardian of a child, adolescent, or teen struggling to cope? Perhaps your child has experienced trauma, perhaps your family is going through a divorce or death, perhaps you have concerns about suicide or self-injury. Maybe you can just feel it in your gut that something is wrong. You worry that their struggle will escalate but it's been hard to connect with them lately and you feel unsure about the best way to help. You want the best for your child and know that finding them professional support is your best bet at helping them—and you! —navigate this struggle.

I feel disconnected and alone. I don't have anyone around that really understands my problem. I don't want to burden my friends and family with my concerns. I'm worried someone will judge me if I tell them the truth. Have you had some of these thoughts? Fear of being judged or burdensome keeps a lot of people from finding the help they want.

Are you feeling depressed, anxious, and not sure where to turn or what to do? Over the years I have worked with individuals who experience depression and anxiety while having gone through emotional, verbal, and physical abuse myself, I am able to empathize and understand those who are dealing with depression and anxiety from life's experiences.

I am looking for a client who is motivated to make changes, may be struggling with depression or anxiety, or may even have some trauma that needs to be addressed. The ideal client would be ready to take the needed steps to make progress.

I specialize in helping those with anxiety, depression, & relationship issues. Whether it is a relational, work, school, or family issue, talking about it with someone often aids in clarity and change. I want to help those individuals/families who are struggling to make sense of the chaos, look for understanding insight, and make those changes that will help them to start feeling more hopeful and excited about life again.

Change your thoughts and you change your world. This statement could not be a more perfect example of how I view this thing called life. I believe that my role is to help guide you in becoming more aware of any barriers that may be in the way of allowing for change and growth. I come from a holistic frame of mind and believe that one can regain balance of mind, body, and soul with just being open to the idea and process of change. In addition to traditional therapy, I also offer Equine Facilitated Learning sessions and Equine Assisted Psychotherapy sessions through Strides to Success as a way to support a more holistic healing.
