Is there a stirring inside of you? Or maybe a tornado ripping through you? Whatever you may be experiencing, with quality therapy, it can be calmed and affected. There are losses we all have had, shared or experienced alone. Through conversation and visual expression, I can help you feel that you matter, feel less alone, and feel more safe. I provide Healing Through Art, both for individual and group therapy. I find that expressing yourself through art and conversation is sometimes a more direct means of understanding the issue and creating change.

Trauma can be difficult and complex. The path to healing can be as well. Clients who have experienced trauma, but who have a strong desire to overcome their obstacles and strive for a healthy, balanced way of life, relieved of the mounting weight of past experience, are the clients that instill enthusiasm and drive in me. Their needs may range from help processing underlying emotions, dismantling unhelpful thought patterns, or creating goals that align with their strengths. These values and motives make up my ideal client. They want freedom from a negative experience because they know the potential joy of being their fullest self.

Raising children is the hardest and most rewarding job you will ever have. When a child has experienced trauma, transition or is struggling with another concern, it is even more difficult. I work with children and their families to help them integrate their unique experiences in the world. There is hope, help and support for children who are struggling with; trauma, grief/loss, transitions, ADHD, anxiety, defiance, depression, and worry. I believe in the power of play and the ability of children and families to grow towards health and healing.

It has been said that pain in the past does not stay in the past, unless it is healed. Overtime pain, whether physical or emotional, can make us feel more like victims than victors in life. Uncovering the roots of problematic issues as well as identifying behaviors we may engage in that maintain the nagging sense of powerlessness is part of the healing process. As a therapist, my work, is to help clients regain a greater sense of confidence and control in daily life through increased awareness and implementation of life enhancing tools and skills.

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist. I believe in treating the whole person and working to gain a deeper understanding of my clients through exploring impressionable past experiences and dynamics and connecting them to daily life. I believe that we are all a culmination of our past experiences, which shape our current functioning. Sometimes we get stuck in dynamics with ourselves and others that cause issues. It is difficult to reach out, but I believe the power of fully knowing yourself leads to a more fulfilling life.

Each of us has a story. So often, that story is one filled with pain and brokenness. It is my passion to come alongside those who are hurting, journeying with them towards healing. Since earning my degree in counseling ministry in 2001, I have had the privilege of going on this journey with people in various life stages, struggling with a variety of life issues. I seek to minister to the hurt and broken with compassion and integrity, honoring the story they share along the way. In my work with clients, I draw from a range of interventions, all the while valuing the collaborative relationship so necessary for healing and growth.

I began my career as a registered nurse. After working in several areas of medical care, I settled into thirteen years as a psychiatric nurse attending to the care of children, adolescents, and adults of all ages. During this time, I returned to graduate school to complete my master of social work degree. Since finishing, I have practiced as a therapist, in a community clinic, and in a private clinic. Two years ago, I opened my own independent practice and continue with that today. My approach to counseling adults is based in cognitive-behavioral theory, better known as "talk therapy."

Hi and welcome!

I am looking forward to meeting with you to discuss the best way that we can work together to help you overcome stress from the past and present.

I have specialization working with children and families. As a registered play therapist, I am trained to help children express feelings and needs, to build a supportive atmosphere and to aid in the development of coping skills. I provide a venue for children to be themselves and feel safe. My focus is to utilize the child's strengths and the family's strengths to make positive changes. I strongly value the importance of family in their child's healing. I have also had the advantage of providing services to all ages of the lifespan, which has given me invaluable experience.

Whether we realize it or not, our past experiences teach us to adapt to difficult situations. Often our solutions are helpful, but sometimes a strategy we use has significant drawbacks. If we rely on these for future challenges, we can develop unhealthy patterns, feeling stuck with the same drawbacks. Using an approach informed by interpersonal, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioral therapies, I work with my clients to set personal goals and overcome the barriers that have kept them from achieving their vision for their lives. I strive to provide a welcoming environment where clients feel safe exploring their most vulnerable issues.
