Therapy is a process which affirms life and growth and a better version of ourselves. To be a therapist grants the privilege of aiding in that process. I am a seasoned therapist with a diverse clientele and very broad and deep clinical experience. I seek to join with clients in ways that are not only effective but which take into account the specific person or relationship,situation and need. I invite you to call if you would like to know more about my practice or schedule an appointment.

Many of us have arrived at points in life where we feel alone and lost. Disappointments, losses and wounds leave us feeling that we are not enough, disconnected, hopeless and stuck. Whether life has brought new obstacles that feel impossible to cope with, or if you have past wounds that you don’t know how to heal from, I would be honored to be part of your journey. In our time together, I will work to help you finally find freedom from the lies that hold you back from living a meaningful, satisfying and connected life. You will find that I am empathetic, gentle and insightful, helping you feel safe and offering a new perspective.

Are you tired of striving to find happiness in your relationships? Do you long to feel secure, peaceful or confident? Do you struggle to find the kind of relationships where you can thrive? Or maybe you struggle with low self esteem, maintaining boundaries or pleasing others to the point you find yourself resenting others? If you said yes, then consider taking the step to learn to care for yourself so you can have the success and relationships you want. Or if you think your loved one might have an eating disorder please call. If your anxiety or traumatic experiences are interfering -call me.

Do you ever wonder when the anxiety is going to stop? How to connect with your spouse? How to help your struggling teen? Therapy will ease the heaviness you have been carrying. I have worked with teens in a variety of settings for 10 years! I also work with parents, couples, and individuals in adulthood. I provide a safe space to dive into the difficulty you are experiencing, giving you a voice in the pacing and direction of your sessions. I set clear goals for you so that we both know when you are ready to “graduate” from sessions. I want my clients to feel confident as they step out of care. I look forward to hearing from you!

I am grateful to have been a part of helping so many individuals, couples, and blending families resolve their issues over the past 35 years. While the experience has honed my therapy skills, each new person or relationship is unique and requires exploring solutions that fit their individual personality.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and out of ideas. Making the decision to talk with a therapist is one that many people put off for some time, but most report improvement of life satisfaction as a result of taking this step. My priorities when working with individuals and couples in therapy are: 1. Fostering trust through authenticity, unconditional positive regard and confidentiality 2. Building a collaborative relationship through listening 3. Utilizing therapy techniques that have been proven to help people achieve more satisfying relationships with themselves and others.

I specialize in a few types of clients - Couples hanging on by a thread, men who are less than thrilled at the idea of attending therapy, and individuals that live under a constant state of frustration in life. As someone who has lived and survived all of these scenarios personally, I've have a ton of empathy and a box of tools ready for people motivated to achieve change. Whether you are picking up the pieces from infidelity, exhausted from fighting about the same tired topics, or struggling to escape the things that beat you down, I am honored to pull up a chair and begin sorting through the mess in your first session.

I help people live a life worth living. I help people reduce their unnecessary suffering. I help a lot of people struggling with anger, but I also help people struggling with anxiety, depression, marital issues, and life's struggles. You are more than enough and more than the worst things you have ever done. You are more than the worst things people can say, do, feel or think towards you. You can live a life worth living. You can learn the skills and tools needed to live a life worth living and enjoy meaningful relationships, meaningful purpose, meaningful conversations, and meaningful activities.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I especially enjoy working with children, teens, and couples facing a variety of issues. Life is a journey in which change is often the only constant. My job is to honor the journey you are on, and provide avenues for healing and hope both for you and your family. I believe that by working with individuals and families, healing and relational satisfaction can take place and change in relationships can occur.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, addiction, work stress, or relationship conflict? Are you experiencing a transition such as marriage, childrearing, divorce, or job change? Do you feel isolated and unsure of how to move forward? It is difficult to deal with these issues alone and therapy can help. Choosing a therapist is an important decision, and it should be someone with whom you feel comfortable. I view therapy as an interactive process in which we work together to identify problems and find solutions. Therapy can provide you with the skills you need to make real changes in your life.

Life can be challenging, and I am here to walk beside you and your family in this journey. If you are feeling overwhelmed, lost, or experiencing struggles due to trauma to everyday stressors to parenting questions, I am here to help. I have worked with children, families and individuals who present with various needs ranging from struggles with life transitions to trauma. Having witnessed the calm and strength that can come from change, I am dedicated to helping my clients work toward their goals.

I am passionate about working with people of all ages. My youngest client is 3 & my oldest is 80 years old. I treat adults, couples, co-parents, families, young adults, teens, tweens, & children. As a clinically licensed counselor, I treat a variety of mental health & family issues. I studied 2 yrs post masters to become an RPT (registered play therapist specializing in working with children) and an SATP-C (sexual addictions treatment provider - certified). I am passionate about working with people who have experienced depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, attachment issues, high conflict family work due to divorce, etc.

I love working with clients who are motivated to make meaningful change in their lives. So many of us carry old stories about ourselves that we have outgrown or that were never really true in the first place. You can expect a non-judgmental atmosphere to explore what is true for you & what you really want for your life. I use trauma-sensitive care when working through prior wounds.

I am a relationship specialist. If you are experiencing relational distress in your marriage or civil union, I can help. If you are having trouble communicating or your life goals seem not to align anymore with your partner, I can help. If you are at your wits end and all of your attempts to address your situation have failed, then give me a call. You don't have to live in anger, distrust, anxiety, or hopelessness. Happiness and satisfaction in your relationship can be yours.

No one wants to feel anxious, depressed, and overwhelmed. It's distressing to feel unsure of what to do. Through my training and integration of Biblical principles, you will be given tools such as: Communication skills, healing from infidelity, regaining that spark in your marriage, figuring out the cause of your unhappiness, gaining confidence in yourself, in your relationships and much more. The Lord cares about what you are going through. He hears you and promises to deliver you from all of your troubles and fears (Ps. 34). I am confident we can team up to meet your goals and desires.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS: Simply Be... Be sad, angry, overwhelmed, &/or confused, but also be willing to take the next step towards healing. I am broken from life's hardships AND I am restored from working through my own adversities. This means that I feel fully capable of being present for you, however that looks.
