Mental health is just as important as physical health to our overall well-being. I am a Limited Licensed Psychologist and a certified trauma specialist as well as a marriage counselor. I can work with you to develop a wide variety of coping skills to help you work towards your goals of living your best life. Are you noticing mental health symptoms like nightmares, flashbacks, irritability, anxiety, depression or self-harm? I utilize a humanistic, holistic, strength-based approach to help increase your level of tolerance for dealing with these complicated mental health symptoms. I also offer EMDR for the treatment of complex PTSD.

Whether you are working to manage anxiety or depression, navigating difficult conversations with a partner, boss, or loved one, struggling with addiction, or processing emotions related to any of these and more, it is not something you need to do alone; I would love to be there to support you.

Are you unsure of where your life is heading or which path to take next? Are you anxious, depressed or feeling the loss of a loved one? Do feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders or perhaps crumbling before your eyes? Have you questioned your spirituality, faith and/or belief systems or perhaps going through a Dark night of the soul? Have you or someone you know/love been diagnosed with cancer? Does chronic pain or neuropathy keep you from functioning throughout the day or not sleep well at night? If you answered yes to any of these questions, I can help guide you through these transitions.

In my 36 years of practice, I've focused on being the best therapist I can be and have become a much more active one as I've come to appreciate the usefulness of evidence-based therapies as well a psychoanalytic psychotherapy, all tailored to the individual needs of my clients and, if applicable, their families. Often people can be too hard on themselves, think badly of themselves, get easily overwhelmed, have angry outbursts, feel depressed, worry a lot, feel bothered by painful past events, feel stuck, and not know how to cope. And, parents can try many things and end up feeling lost regarding their child's behavior problems.

I enjoy helping people who feel stuck in a certain area of their lives to find hope, get free and then find new patterns of living that allow their lives to function well and even to thrive. I have experienced the blessing of therapy in my own life and by God’s grace have been married for over 32 years, have raised 4 children, and have overcome a variety of personal and family crises. I know that people want to live meaningful and productive lives and when problems arise in their personal lives and relationships, it really helps to have someone come alongside of you, listen to you, and explore solutions to those problems together.

We serve adolescent and adult clients who may be struggling with any number of problems.

You and your therapist will partner to develop a customized plan to help you achieve an optimal treatment outcome.

My ideal client is one that has taken the first step in therapy: being open to getting help. My approach to therapy is to identify current issues a person is having, and identifying and creating goals both long term and short term. I believe the best way to solve a problem is to identify what the problem truly is, and create a plan using steps to overcome the problem.

Is your child acting out or have your or your child experienced a traumatic event such as a serious accident, abuse, or a life altering event? I can help you and your child to address these issues. Are you experiencing depression, anxiety, obsessions and compulsions, or difficulty adjusting to a life event? I can teach you skills to live more fully . Are you or a loved one dealing with an addiction or attachment to pornography? I can help you overcome and find freedom from this problem. I have been a licensed therapist for over 12 years and have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families.

"Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." Life happens everyday. Life can be overwhelming and at those moments choosing to get support from a professional is a great plan. Family, marriage, relationships, health, and work are all areas in which life happens. So whether you are currently experiencing or still struggling with stress, depression, trauma, relationship issues, divorce, palliative care (curable/chronic illness/pain/life-threatening), or are just in need of some self care, I am here to work with you towards creating balance in your life.

I usually find myself working with people who know there's something not quite right but aren't sure where to start. Are you struggling with anxiety and depression, and don't know why? Are relationships difficult, or do you feel like you haven't found your people? Has life suddenly just switched to "hard mode"? I especially enjoy working with people who are trying balance work and managing chronic illnesses, fellow social services employees, and LGBTQ+ clients. I love working with neurodivergence!

You love the imagination...you love to create...yet you struggle to balance your inner life with the demands of "the real world"...resulting in those pesky neuroses, things like anxiety or depression, that eat away at your time and energy. You may be empathic or highly sensitive. You may feel lonely or isolated. You may not feel you're living the life you want. You may have different masks that you put on for different situations or around certain people. Sometimes, you may feel it is hard being you. Just know, none of this means that something is "wrong" with you.

Most people seek therapy to reduce hurts that are causing suffering; increase a sense of wellbeing, love with more generosity and gain wisdom and skill. The greatest benefits of therapy come from self-reflection, increased ability for emotional expression and flexibility and exploration of things that block those desires - fears, old hurts, walls built up, addiction, traumas, etc. Whatever your struggles, your goals for change are often determined by our perseverance together. It is often not easy, but it is worth the effort.
