Do you have relationship challenges? Have you tried to stop negative habits without success? Has depression affected your life? Are you struggling with anxiety? Do you want to develop positive communication and conflict resolution skills? It is my goal to help you get to the core of the issues you want to address in a safe, professional, and non-judgmental atmosphere.

Counseling can help resolve, heal, and empower you to create better relationships. I provide individual and family counseling, with children, teens, Veterans, and those who struggle with PTSD, depression, anxiety, poor self-esteem, trauma, or domestic violence. I am available through face-to-face or technology assisted counseling (secure computer or phone).

As part of Chenal Family Therapy PLC, I consult with our team of therapists and psychiatrists who specialize in different issues, ensuring that all possible treatment approaches are considered. If we encounter problems outside my areas of expertise, I provide seamless referrals, including testing and medication management. It all begins with a phone call.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. Initially, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. I also use Solution Focused Brief Therapy to help with building solutions rather than dwelling on problems.
