*Individuals, Couples, Adults, Teens & Children* We are shaped by our experiences and what we believe about them, but we can all be re-shaped by new information, awareness, and insight which helps to change how you view your past experiences, a "want-to" and consistent and deliberate effort. Whether we have experienced the pain of trauma, divorce, neglect, "wrong" choices, career challenges, relationship/marital issues or feelings of helplessness or hopelessness, it doesn't negate the PURPOSE for which you were created and the success which awaits you.

Life can be tough. We are all doing our best, and yet we can be faced with challenges that affect our mood, thoughts and ability to cope. If you are struggling with overwhelming emotions, life-threatening behaviors or ineffective patterns in relationships, then I can help you to regain inherent strengths, and build a life of purpose and peace. Whether you have a name for your struggle (Borderline Personality Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, OCD, Panic Disorder) or you just know that you don't feel like yourself, I would love to navigate along side you.

Reaching out for help and making that initial phone call can be difficult for some people. However, feeling stuck in your life, a job, or in a relationship that is not working can also be difficult. In my practice I strive to help clients gain awareness of what is keeping them stuck and develop effective, healthier, coping strategies for gaining control in their lives.

If you are experiencing conflict or lack of closeness in your personal relationships, I am here to come alongside you and your significant other(s) to rebuild and heal. I enjoy working with young couples attempting to establish a healthier foundation for their relationship as well as with families feeling stuck in negativity. Whether you have been affected by infidelity, infertility, divorce, death, unemployment, an individual or family member's mental illness or other loss, I invite you into a collaborative relationship that will bring healing to your life.

I enjoy working with people who struggle with problematic sexual behavior (sexual addiction), partners who have been through betrayal trauma, couples in recovery, and general marriage counseling. Intimacy development in relationships is also one of my passions.

Brainspotting is a powerful, flexible, client-centered therapy that goes more deeply and quickly into our stored memories than other therapies. These stored memories are called brain spots. We change the negative ones. After looking for the most effective counseling technique which was also cost efficient for clients, I chose Brainspotting. Brainspotting is based on EMDR but I find BS is best for pinpointing the individual harmful memories which negatively interfere with our lives. The Brainspotting process enables the client to identify and resolve the roots of traumatic or troubling issues.

For as long as I can remember, I've had a heart for encouraging people. I consider it a blessing to be able to do what gives me great joy - watching lives become transformed through the healing experience of counseling. I am looking forward to meeting you and having the privilege to be a part of your journey of renewal.
