I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy. When you give yourself the gift of therapy, you give yourself the best chance at a fulfilling life.

How do you create a life full of meaning and purpose when you are experiencing emotional pain, chronically stressed, fatigued, repeating unhealthy behavior patterns, and feeling depressed or anxious? These struggles can be difficult questions to answer and challenging issues to work through when we try to do it alone, suffer in silence, try to numb/avoid our feelings, and become disconnected from ourselves and others. Effective therapy will help facilitate your healing process and help you to discover (or rediscover) a life of meaning and purpose, full of authentic connections, balance, growth, enthusiasm, awe, beauty, and peace.

I work best with clients who are motivated to move toward personal health, wellness and wholeness through purposeful evaluation of their current life situation.

Seeing your kid struggle is one of the toughest things to do as a parent or caregiver. Our children cannot always express their thoughts and feelings through words, and this can lead to frustration and confusion for both parent and child. Children express their thoughts and feelings through play and their toys are their words. When we allow children to play alongside therapeutic interventions, children can tell us so much about what is going on in their lives. Whether your child is experiencing grief, sadness, anxiety, anger, or school problems, they deserve some extra help!

We all face difficult and confusing times. My goal is to assist clients in a confidential and compassionate environment by providing therapy services in the home.

I have been in education for 35 years and served adolescents as a counselor for the past 20 years. My areas of interest include anxiety, panic attacks, grief and phobias that clients often experience. What I find most helpful to people is to provide a warm and safe place to express the feelings and experiences in a non-judgmental atmosphere. I also believe it is important to instill confidence in them. These days it seems the relationship between client and therapist is more important than ever and I hope to build such bonds.

In one's walk towards wholeness and change, there are various barriers and hindrances one must overcome: The prism in which we view life, the messages we received about ourselves from our family of origin, what has happened to us and what we tell ourselves about it, our fear of feelings, and our learned coping mechanisms are just a few. As a Christian counselor, it is my desire to provide a safe and accepting environment in which we can walk and work together to expose, understand, and overcome these barriers.
