CALMING THE CHAOS! My life's work is aimed at helping you bring resolution and restoration to your inner and relational conflict. I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families heal from their present and past pain, while working to re-establish order in their lives. I want to teach you how to regain your power and make life decisions that honor your existence and future.

You may be having a hard time focusing and paying attention. You may just want to be left alone or are beginning to become more and more irritable about situations. And yet, no one seems to understand you. You believe that you are getting little support or understanding from friends and family. You are experiencing a great deal of stress trying to figure out how to move forward and hold everything else together. You are not alone. Call me. I can help.

Life is hard at times, particularly if you are a teenager or young adult! I can help with these difficult, hurtful and confusing challenges. Solutions are not always obvious or easily resolved. But, it is possible to make positive changes. Seeking therapy does not mean you are weak. Taking that step forward demonstrates strength and opens the door to new possibilities and change. While scary, change is good! Redirecting energy to the positive rather than the negative, removing toxicity from your life--and yes, even dealing with teenagers-- can be the result of a good therapeutic partnership.

Thank you for taking the first step to your healing and path to wellness. Once you have made contact with me, you and your situation becomes my priority. Rather the problem is within a relationship, work issues, or issues within such as depression and anxiety; my goals for counseling is simply to build a collaborative relationship that will assist you with developing a goal and a plan that leads to and sustains healing and wellness.

You have the power to be great and the power to choose how you want to live your life, but, what good is it to have that power, and not the strength to use it. I know you have seen this across many social media sites, "check on your strong friend", well I am checking on you. Do you feel like you have lost your power? Are you the one always helping others? Have you neglected you? As a working mother, wife, doctoral student, and business owner, I too know this struggle. Let me help you find your power and joy. Don't let the pitfalls of life get in the way of your happiness. Call today and take the first steps towards your healing!

Inspire...the spark that lights the flame. That is my number one goal with my clients. I want to spark something within you. Whether it is to mend a broken relationship, start that business or push through anxiety, I want to inspire you to gain control of your life and situation. I want to help you to help yourself because you already possess the tools to succeed. I have a fun yet direct approach that lends to a warm, inviting, and motivating atmosphere. You've already taken the first step, now let's get you INSPIRED!!!

When you are ready to live, is when I can help. Do you have the WILL to change? Relationships require work and are bound to face challenges large and small. If each partner is willing to address the issue at hand and participate in developing a solution, most relationship problems are manageable, but when challenges are left unaddressed, tension mounts, poor habits develop, and the health and longevity of the relationship are in jeopardy. "Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending." (Maria Robinson)

People come to see me when they feel STUCK. With this, my clients often feel frustrated, sad, empty, anxious and/or angry too much of the time. The complaint I hear a lot is feeling as if the life you want will never happen because the issues you face seem unmanageable.

I am a Christian Counselor, and I use christian principles during my sessions. My ideal client is a person who is seeking guidance to address issues, that they feel will make their life more comfortable; a person who feels they need someone to assist them in finding their peace. I provide education and counseling services, that restore, heal, guide, and direct the lives of adults, young adults, and teens (13-18) I also provide anger management; impulse control; self-esteem issues. Many times a lot of the issues are from the past, and we need to help the client move into the present, which may require forgiveness and letting go.

Are you feeling stuck in a rut, depressed, angry or anxious more days than not? It's not a matter of willpower so please take the first step and stop beating yourself up! We were all created to be loving, connected, and balanced individuals and anytime we are not feeling that way it's because of our baggage. Professionally and personally, I have found that by combining IFS therapy with EMDR, many people are able to revisit painful experiences in a way that allows them to release feelings of terror, shame, and guilt and leave their baggage behind.

I am a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist who works with clients to manage their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in response to challenges, issues, and problems encountered in their life. My treatment focus assists in changing negative beliefs, thoughts, images, and self-dialogue and helps initiate positive thoughts, images, and self-dialogue that promotes the restructuring of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I am a Board-Certified Tele-Mental Health Provider for those who want counseling in the comfort of their home, just as effective as face to face, and delivered through a platform of HIPPA compliance video-streaming.

I believe a person's decision to enter therapy demonstrates courage and willingness to make positive changes. Together with the client, we form a therapeutic alliance that facilitates personal growth and self-improvement. I enjoy working with clients and seeing them overcome obstacles that prevent them from achieving their goals.

Navigating the various streams of life is challenging and scary at times. Making the decision to seek counseling is a step towards taking control of your health and wellness. When a person feels this way, therapy will more likely be the most helpful to them. I strongly believe that a person should be actively engaged and hopeful about the therapy. The most central idea in my work is using the Strengths Perspectives in therapy. The theoretical approaches that I will use are eclectic, based on the major theories of Social Work Practices, the initial assessment, the person's decision for entering therapy, and the most appropriate.

My therapy practice embraces the promotion of mental and physical health and wellness by treating the whole individual and family. I am committed to working with individuals and families to facilitate healing and growth to develop the necessary strengths to overcome life's challenges. I believe that there is always hope and that with the proper knowledge and guidance we can achieve change through the creation of realistic goals. I have a rich and varied range of experiences in the field of mental health having provided counseling services in both inpatient and outpatient facilities.

If you have come to this website, I imagine you already know that something is bothering you. That something may be an uncomfortable feeling like depression, anger or anxiety, or it may be a desired goal that you have been unable to reach, like sobriety or a good marriage. I have been working with individuals and couples for over 30 years, trying to figure out what makes folks tick, and walking the journey with them as they look for new directions, new strengths and new ways to live life.

Are you tired of feeling depressed, stressed out and like you are all alone with no one safe to talk to? Well you have come to the right place. This is a judgement free zone where you can be heard and address your life's concerns. It is very important to me that you know that you are valuable, accepted and cared for before you even walk through the door. I want to help you experience your life to the fullest that it can be!!

¡¡¡¡¡ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS!!!!! It's often difficult to admit we need help in managing our relationships. The mere act of admission requires us to act to change, point the blame, or deny those behaviors or thoughts that are contributing to the disharmony with our significant other. Couples counseling is not about the counselor taking sides, it is about you and your beau identifying what is hindering positive growth and development together.
