Note: Journey to Restoration is accepting new clients for individual & group therapy........Life has a way of throwing us unexpected curve balls, knocking us down, causing unfamiliar emotions, anxiety, intra-personal & interpersonal conflict, & stress. Have you ever asked yourself, how will I balance all of this? Growing through life without a road map can be difficult. And just as your car requires monthly maintenance, so does your life.

Asking for help isn't always easy. If you’re stuck struggling to move past challenging emotions or life changes, or are having trouble in your relationships, counseling may be right for you. I am a licensed and board certified counselor who is experienced in working with children and adults in school, community, and hospital settings. I view counseling as a collaborative journey in which the counselor and client work together to build a relationship of trust and understanding so that we can effectively determine strengths, support systems, and areas for growth as well as establish goals and work towards mental health stabilization.

I specialize in the assessment and treatment of learning difficulties, including those caused by AD/HD. My approach to academic difficulties goes beyond the limited information contained in a diagnosis. I identify the specific causes of learning problems that can be targeted with academic therapy or accommodations in the classroom. I provide detailed interventions and recommendations that target specific cognitive processes (e.g., working memory, processing speed, planning, organization, etc.), higher level language and comprehension skills, and basic academic skills required for efficient learning. I use the latest research on individual differences to tailor interventions.

Welcome! First and foremost, it is my aim to put you at ease, maybe even get you to laugh a little bit! Making the leap to come to therapy can be nerve wracking. I am here to support, challenge, and guide you on a journey of self discovery. This work can be difficult, but hopefully it is well worth the effort, and who knows, you may just have some fun along the way. With each new client, I like to start out with a thorough intake interview, and a complete mental health history, which hopefully allows me to start to get to know you. From there we can look at your present concerns and set some short and long term goals.

The innovations of our modern world bring new forms of stress while intensifying those which already exist. Hours of the day are spent in grueling stop and go traffic, and to advance one's education or career often requires uprooting from what is known and setting up in a completely new place. People are working more hours than ever before, while cost of living, overpopulation, and globalization heighten the stress of just trying to get by. With change comes the pain of adapting to the way the world is now, often so different from just a few short years ago.

There was a time when you couldn't have dreamed you'd be searching for a couple's therapist. A relationship that was once full of joy, hope for the future, and deep connection, now brings feelings of longing, defensiveness, and criticism. You want to find your way back to connection, but the negative cycle is winning, and your emotional bond is crumbling. The idea of losing the person you love most is excruciating. You need help, where do you turn and who do you trust? Using Emotionally Focused Therapy, an evidence-based approach, I work with couples to heal disconnection.
