I am a strong believer in the power of people to change, if given the right tools and the right amount of support. The process of change can be both exciting and frightening at the same time, and as a psychologist, I work with my clients to help them decide if they are ready to make changes and what changes are the right ones to make. In the end, however, the choice to change is one that only the individual can make, as he or she is the only expert on himself or herself.

I also provide Christian counseling upon request.

Welcome. Are you experiencing difficulties with relationships, children, spirituality, sex, or work? It often happens that many of us need a little help now and then. In my years of practice, I've seen how depression and anxiety can affect people's lives and can cause a great deal of guilt and frustration. Life is a journey, both joyous and painful. I believe that no one purposely tries to mess up their life, however, once caught up in our own situations we often cannot see the "forest for the trees", making it difficult to see things any differently during stressfull times.

My strengths include a warm and relational manner and a compassionate nature along with experience and intuition, I can help people with relationship issues, including, individuals, couples, families and work related problems. I provide support at all life-stages.I am eclectic while taking into account the particular psycho-dynamics of the individual.I also work extensively with anxiety and depression. I studied at the Harvard Mind and Body Institute.

Kardia Counseling & Consulting began with the idea that the healing process is as much about what you feel and think as it is HOW you think about your feelings; the notion that healing, at its core is the repairing of our soul; to be done respectfully, compassionately and with conscious intention. The realignment of our innermost "being-ness" with that of our true nature could indeed recenter and heal us; that our deepest desires for internal peace, blissful coexistence with loved ones and even the contemplation of true happiness is within our reach.

I feel privileged to be a part of the process in which my clients make positive changes in their lives. I consider it an honor to work with all kinds of people and am respectful of the differences that make us all unique. Each person that comes to counseling brings different needs and goals. It is my intention to work with you collaboratively in an environment of honesty, respect and trust in order to foster the real change that you desire.

We all have times of suffering in our lives; it is difficult to walk through those times alone. Having gone through my own healing in counseling, and being a "wounded healer" aids me in being able to help others deal with their own suffering. I worked as a youth pastor for 16 years and in the mental health industry for the past 13 years with adolescents, children, and their families. I seek to help families that are having conflict in their home as well as those having school issues.

I work with adults who need help with relationships, substance abuse, addiction, depression, anxiety, job loss and difficulty making life decisions. Relationships improve when people learn better communication skills Learning to speak so you are heard and understood - and learning to listen so you hear and understand are important to improving your quality of life. We all need somewhere to stay, somewhere to go, something to do and someone to love. I reach out to each individual where they are in that moment. If key parts of your life are missing, we make a plan to help you build the life you desire.
