Therapists are often expected to begin by describing their credentials, specialties, and clinical orientation. While that information matters, my primary focus is making sure you know that you are at the center of this work. Your story, your nervous system, your lived experience, and your capacity for growth are what guide our work together. My role is to support you in discovering your own definition of healing and thriving, in a way that feels safe, empowering, and sustainable.

The solutions to life's struggles are elusive, and hard times have a way of leaving us filled with doubt, confusion, and hopelessness. These are some of the building blocks of anxiety, depression, resentments, addictions, and strained relationships, among other conditions. It's normal and can even be helpful to experience some worry, sadness, and other forms of tension, however for many these emotions grow to levels where they are no longer useful. If this resonates with you, please take a moment to assure yourself that you do not have to take this on alone. A life that is more fulfilling and manageable is within your reach.

I am a second-generation Christian family therapist who has been in practice since 1987, married for 40 years, 2 adult twin daughters, and now 2 sons (both daughters married), with 4 grandchildren. My overall philosophy is to assist clients in bringing balance to their lives by examining the emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of their lives. It is important to see the individual as a part of a system, as what may work for one person may not work for another due to current family dynamics and unresolved issues from their past.

Life is hard. When we are faced with challenges, we can become discouraged, stuck, and even hopeless. Asking for help is also scary, and for some, a gamble. However, I believe if you take a leap of faith and reach out, you may find that one person who understands and wants to join you in finding solutions that could help "reset" your life. Allow me to be that sounding board and assist you in seeking ways to cope with life transitions, stress, anxiety, low self worth, codependency, inner family problems, addiction, depression.

I know it can be challenging and overwhelming to seek therapy, but you deserve to explore healing, self-compassion and hope. I believe in the potential for all humans to grow and change and would like to embark on a journey with you to ease the suffering in your life. Many circumstances and events from our past or in our present can create obstacles to our sense of peace with ourselves. You may be feeling alone, stuck, unworthy, scared or angry. I can offer an integrative approach that is not a "one-size-fits all", but rather one based on your unique needs and history.

Are you tired of overthinking, second-guessing yourself, or feeling stuck in the same patterns?

As a seasoned practitioner with nearly a decade of private practice experience, my expertise spans individual, couple, and family therapy all grounded in evidence-based modalities, which speaks to my unique ability to create therapeutic spaces where clients feel truly seen and supported.
Over the years I mastered the art of weaving formal training with lived experience to guide clients toward sustainable self-care practices and grounding techniques. This isn't just clinical skill—it's the cultivation of culturally responsive relationships that honor each person's narrative while equipping them with intervention.

Life gets to all of us sometimes. I work with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for meaningful change — whether due to anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, neurodiversity (ADHD/autism), relationship struggles, life transitions, or simply feeling "off track" and unmotivated. Many clients in the Forsyth, Branson, and Taney County area appreciate my local perspective combined with fully virtual sessions that fit busy lives.
My direct, honest, and collaborative approach helps you explore the "why" behind patterns, get out of your own way, and build practical momentum toward your goals.
