Firstly, I want KNOW YOU. It's been shown time and time again that the most important indicator of successful therapy is the relationship between the client and the therapist. I believe my strongest attribute as a therapist is my ability to connect! Therapeutically, I enjoy implementing a solution-focused perspective that takes you away from hyper-focusing on problems and instead focuses on instilling hope, goals, and walking toward the life you want! I also use Gottman for couples, CBT, Narrative, EFT, ACT, and person-centered.

I enjoy working with individuals who are trying to better themselves and grow through hardships. Are you having trouble adjusting to life changes, feeling stuck, or experience a general lack of meaning in life? Do you experience anger, stress, anxiety, depression, or struggle with self-esteem? Do you have concerns you feel powerless to overcome, feel overwhelmed by how much you need to accomplished daily, or get bored with the monotony of the day to day grind? Do you lack confidence in your performance or just unsatisfied with your current situation? I might be able to help!

Life can be difficult at times and I meet each client where "they are" in life without any judgment or criticism. Stress and anxiety can come in many forms and many ways, which can lead to feelings of being "overwhelmed." All trauma is different and each client has a different response/reaction to the same experience. I work with ALL families, couples, and individuals in processing, understanding, and learning to cope on their journey through life.

Currently accepting new clients and EMDR trained. People I help want to feel better quickly and my goal is to help you feel better as soon as possible so that they can move on into your better life. People have reported our work together has been invaluable in providing relief to past trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, family struggles, problems with marriage and relationships, sexual issues, loss and grief, issues related to age and life transitions, LGBTQIA+, social justice and race issues, military veterans and first-responder issues, and historical and multigenerational trauma issues.

The door of change and opportunity is open to you. Anyone can forget this simple statement in stressful times. I am a professional who values helping others move forward in life. If you, or someone you know, are in need of supportive counseling related to life transition, marital concerns, addiction recovery, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, eating disorders or stress reduction education, I would like to assist you. I have a diverse background with over 25 years experience. I work regularly with individuals, couples, families and groups. For the past eight years I have worked as an International Consultant with military personnel and their families.

Sometimes we go through seasons in life, or have a painful event, that can lead to cycles of unwanted behavior and difficulty in relationships. The root cause may be trauma, PTSD, couple and family issues, or difficulty stemming from anxiety, ASD, ADHD or other neurological changes. At the core, therapy is a collaborative process meant to provide space to learn new skills, honor your needs, rebuild safety, and regain control of your goals. Using integrative methods, I encourage clients to gain self-insight, utilize somatic experiencing, and develop inner healing skills.

At MRL Counseling LLC we strives to provide clients a safe, calm, open therapeutic environment. We tailor the therapeutic treatment of our clients based on their current situations and their desired directions in life. Some of life's transitions can be difficult to cope with and treating those transitions may be the key to a happier way of life. Whatever the case may be we all need help, and somebody to talk with at times during our life's journey.

This modality will allow you to feel comfortable, work on yourself, and share as you need without feeling overwhelmed or insecure.

Currently Not Accepting New Clients. Acceptance and Change. These two things seem like complete opposites don't they? Carl Rogers believes "When I accept myself, then I can change". We spend a lot of time hearing and believing that we, they, it needs to change to be "better" or "different". This creates a sense of loss, poor self esteem, depression, anxiety, and conflict within ourselves and with those we love. I believe when we accept others, family, loss etc, then change can happen within that as well. Therapy IS about change; learning new skills, stopping habits, doing life differently.

Do you feel frustrated and unhappy? Perhaps you feel that you have tried everything and you don't know what else to try. Take heart. Most people don't seek counseling until desperation has kicked in. I can give you the opportunity to talk with someone who has an unbiased view. I have 30 plus years in the medical and counseling field. Perfection is not an attainable goal, flaws are human and everyone has them. I use solution orientated therapy to help you fall in love with your true self.
