Do you struggle with a relationship? My specialty is with couples! I love to talk to couples, and our sessions are fun and encouraging. Couples generally find they start enjoying their life together once again. If your significant other won't come, why not come along by yourself? Just a few things you can do may change your relationship completely. Hope is around the corner!

I understand that while we are all under construction, doing the work alone can be burdensome. I like to come along side my clients in the process of building a better tomorrow.

I have a passion to help people overcome trials of life, go in the direction of grace and acceptance, and come to terms with their shortcomings without feeling condemnation. My aim is to help people learn how to be hospitable rather than exist in a state of hostility or loneliness. While we cannot change difficult situations of our past, we can work together to better understand and resolve the resulting challenges in our life. We all share a common need to express emotions and learn new ways to cope effectively.

The relationship between therapist and client is one of the most important factors in successful treatment outcomes. However, looking for a therapist can sometimes be a daunting task. "How do I know if this is the right one? What questions do I ask?" It is your privelege as a client to be particular when choosing someone to care for your mental health. I welcome you to call for a free phone consultation to discuss your symptoms and concerns, and then together we can decide if my treatment expertise are the best fit for your particular needs.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor candidate and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor candidate. I graduated from Grand Canyon University with a Masters of Science in professional counseling.

If you want a therapist dedicated to helping you and/or your marriage who will challenge you and the ways you do things with directness, humor, honesty, and care, please give me a call. I can help if you are willing to take an honest look into yourself and your patterns and dedicate yourself to changing. As your therapist I will help you find ways to break through your limiting patterns and beliefs so you can move forward and live the life and have the relationship you want. Warning: my therapy is not easy and not for everyone, as it is challenging and requires humility and courage to do the hard work of changing.

Social distancing? I offer teletherapy. You can still receive your services and stay safe. Your family's dysfunction WILL NOT scare me! ( I promise.) You are not "crazy" because you are seeking counseling. To me, you are BRAVE! Question? Are you struggling?? Now take a long deep breath....("no, for real....take a deep breath.") Therapy is self-care! Invest into your best asset.......YOU! You don't have to do this alone. It is okay NOT to be okay! Question? Do you feel like you have tried everything you know to do? It's time to exhale! (take another deep breath.) You act like you have it all together, but it's just that-an act.

Struggle is a natural part of life, but there are times when the struggles faced can seem insurmountable and begin to interfere with relationships, jobs, and/or sense of self. In those times, therapy is a way to gain perspective, skills, and support, to help navigate the tough times. My goal is to help my clients find solutions, identify more effective ways to communicate, and develop skills to increase satisfaction and contentment.

I believe that a very important part of therapy is the therapeutic relationship. My natural approach to therapy is to create a safe and non-judgmental environment by providing empathy and developing trust. We will work together toward self-awareness and finding balance to produce healing and meaningful change. I enjoy working with families to build stronger relationships through understanding and positive communication.

I am here to help clients experiencing stress or anxiety and depression due to numerous difficulties that can impact daily living. It takes courage to take positive steps toward change and the life you desire, but counseling can be an empowering experience when one is ready and willing to be seen and understood. It is then that we are able to address concerns or habits that can cause distress and create barriers. My passion is in walking alongside someone through whatever obstacles they might be trying to overcome, any battles they are fighting, and any challenges they are facing.

“The dark does not destroy the light; it defines it. It's our fear of the dark that casts our joy into the shadows.” (Brene Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection) I believe that every person experiences a wide spectrum of darkness and light – and all things in between – and that relationships carry the power of health and healing. My goal in the therapeutic relationship is to optimize a client’s potential for desired change. I believe that trust and understanding are paramount, and that my role is best served as a facilitator and catalyst for hope. **I also provide EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMAL DOCUMENTATION**

Being a person of long term recovery myself, I am uniquely qualified to help individuals and families struggling with addiction issues seeking long-term solutions. Since much of addiction is rooted in trauma, we explore the hurts that caused dysfunction in coping skills along with the effects of addiction on spouses, the family unit and friends.

I emphasize a practical, holistic approach to mental health and wellness. By assessing emotional, mental, physical, social, personal, and spiritual areas of health, my hope is simple: that I guide my clients to feel better, restore balance, improve relationships and enjoy a satisfying quality of life.

My goal is to provide a supportive environment for you to be able to explore and make sense of your current situation. I have experience working with individuals related to grief and loss, relationship issues, addiction and trauma. I also work with clients who may be experiencing depression, anxiety, postpartum related issues, or struggling to manage the everyday stress in their life.

We can all use support and encouragement along the way - especially during these trying times. Let's talk about your situation so that we can discover together how my services may benefit you. Call today at 405-501-2651 for a free initial phone consult.

One of my primary goals as a therapist is to highlight the tendency we have to let the problems we experience interfere with the things in life that we value most. This can leave us feeling extremely frustrated, unfulfilled, and even hopeless! I want to help people learn and practice acceptance and mindfulness, as we develop and determine a sense of direction, with the goal of restoring a sense of meaning and purpose in life.

Finding a therapist and beginning the process can be both overwhelming and exhausting. Whether you are feeling anxious, worried, stressed, or have experienced a major life event, my passion lies in helping you find your strengths and realize you are not alone and it is never too late. My goal is to provide a safe, confidential and warm environment that encourages individuals,couples, and families to explore your concerns/needs and collaborate to problem solve.

Is your marriage or relationship struggling? Are you looking for help with your child or teen? Do you need direction as you navigate a difficult life circumstance? Change is possible, there is hope, and I'd love to help.
