Hello and thank you for viewing my bio. There are many reasons to enlist a psychotherapist or counselor, including seeking a better understanding of yourself, following a path of self-discovery, looking for hope and support, or stepping more powerfully into yourself to live the life you wish to have. Since our relationships are so core to engaging our biggest selves, talking with a therapist can often help identify our personal patterns of relating in a way that may help us begin to enjoy more satisfying relationships.

Stepping into counseling with you is a privilege. As a licensed professional counselor, I find counseling to be an invitation to listen and empathize to what is going on in your heart, your head, and your world. When these don’t align, there is an incongruence that rattles our inner world. My desire is to assist adults, adolescents and children 6 and older, to find peace. I enjoy all ages because of my work with children & adults for 15 years. I served 10 years as a Children’s Pastor, and I continue to believe that every age is important. Therefore, I chose to pursue counseling to help every individual pursue healthy mental health.

Current openings: Weekly reoccurring Mondays 1 pm, Tuesday 2 pm, 3:30 pm, Wednesdays 11:30 am, 12:30 pm, 1:30 pm, 3:30pm As a veteran, one of my primary interests is that of free will. It is my own personal belief that addiction, trauma, and other mental health issues either subvert or inhibit our free will as well as our own personal development into an authentic individual. I draw my tools from many different therapeutic approaches which include Bowen, narrative, CBT, solutions-focused, EFT, and existential models.

I invite you to take the next step with me in your unique journey toward wholeness and healing. My specialties are treating trauma, anxiety, depression, and anger.
