All of us have struggles in our lives. We deal with changes, loss, relationships, depression, or anxiety. We may struggle with our ability to trust, low self esteem, or healing from a difficult past. We question ourselves and our direction. Perhaps we question our sexuality. We don't need someone to tell us what to do, just a person to process things with, to help us find our way...

Therapy is a safe space to show up as you are without worry about judgement; to be witnessed in pain and joy and all emotions in between. I believe that what you need is already within you, you may simply need the space and support to uncover your inner strengths.

If you are like most people who come to therapy, you've probably felt like you've been running in circles for a long time. Dealing with the same feelings, thoughts, memories, and worries over and over again. In the meantime, you've noticed your life passing you by. What if you could start your life TODAY? What if you don't have to wait? Healing comes from the Latin word for 'wholeness.' To heal is to become whole again. We believe within the pain of suffering can lay our greatest strengths. And there is no part of you that deserves to be cast aside. We don't focus on changing who you are, but on creating the life that you want.

Counseling can serve many different purposes--it can help us gain understanding into ourselves, gain understanding in how we navigate our world and relationships, it can help us heal from past hurts. I strive to offer a therapeutic setting where clients feel welcome and safe to process challenges in life and to gain perspective. For some clients building skills and tools can be helpful in overcoming struggles. I provide an avenue to equip clients in this way. I have been a counselor for over 30 years, and believe people are uniquely created with God given potential to live a victorious life.

Opening up to another person can be tough and making the steps to start therapy can be difficult. Make the first step easier and schedule a free phone or in person fifteen-minute consultation.We all experience pain, and this can lead to suffering. We experience suffering when we react to pain, get stuck in unhelpful behaviors, thoughts, and emotions, and end up caught in a place we do not want to be. As a counselor I have had the honor of working with great individuals helping them help themselves work through pain and be able to discover and more deeply connect to what is important to them; living a life more fully.

You may be coming to therapy feeling emotionally exhausted, unsure of yourself, or feeling disconnected from your goals. Many of my clients are navigating the aftermath of substance use, life transitions, or the invisible weight of always pretending to be okay and that you have to hold things together. You want clarity, relief, and a space where you don't have to justify or explain your feelings but just want to be met with respect and understanding. I'm LGBTQIA+ supportive and will assist with navigating the challenges that may be associated. What makes me and my work unique is the warmth and honesty I bring to each session.

As a therapist with a passion for child development and family support, I understand the importance of early intervention and the lasting impact it can have on a child’s emotional and social development. I specialize in supporting children (3+), teens, and families navigating a range of challenges, including anxiety, behavioral concerns, life transitions, trauma, and self-esteem issues. My approach is tailored to meet each child and teen where they are. I often blend play therapy with talk therapy to engage children in ways that feel natural and supportive. I use play, art, activity-based exercises, and skill-building strategies.

I believe that therapy is a very personal experience and requires a nonjudgmental, genuine, and compassionate relationship between client and therapist. Often, people come into therapy to discuss some of their most vulnerable feelings and experiences. This takes a lot of courage and self-reflection. I strive to create a space that is safe, comfortable, and inviting for individuals, families, and couples to share these challenges with me. My hope is to help guide my clients to recognize positive things in their lives as well as explore different ways of thinking, feeling, and reacting to challenges that occur.

For some of us the world is a more difficult place that it is for others. It is not our fault and there is nothing wrong with us. For some of us the world is not safe, the people in our world have made it unsafe, and we have fought by ourselves for ourselves. It is not our fault, and we should be proud that we are still here, that we still love ourselves enough to fight, and to ask for help. If this describes you - I am here to help. I will believe in you, challenge you, speak truth to you, teach you skills and techniques, and help you help yourself. Together, we can discover how to make your world what you want it to be.
