As a Licensed Professional Counselor I have dedicated my career to helping people navigate and cope with their feelings so that they can navigate the world around them. I have spent a bulk of my career helping individuals manage their symptoms of anxiety, depression, Autism, and ADHD.

Humor has long been considered an essential element of healing. I place great value on the coupling of feelings. The deep coexisting alongside the light. Our stories are equally diverse and important, but the therapeutic relationship doesn't have to feel frigid. On the contrary, warmth signals affirmation and perhaps a kind of acceptance we have reasoned to be unattainable. I consider building rapport to be the first step in laying the foundation of our safe space. Every single person, regardless of background, beliefs, persuasions, affiliations, or afflictions, deserves to feel validated and worthy. You are not alone.

'We are afflicted, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed!' Bumps, scrapes, bruises, and obstacles are inevitable in life; but with Christ, brokenness can be healed and no wound is fatal. My goal, as your counselor, will be to partner with you (and the Holy Spirit) to pinpoint the issue, understand the root, and strategically develop a plan of action that will equip you with the necessary tools to experience victory over whatever challenges may come your way.

Every person is uniquely created and then molded by their life experiences. For this reason, I utilize an integrative and flexible approach to counseling that aims to discover and implement the most effective treatment plan for each individual based on their unique goals, worldview, and personality. Some clients may be seeking to bring Scripture and prayer into sessions through Christian Integrative Counseling while others may benefit best from a secular approach or EMDR. Dating or married couples can benefit from personalized counseling plans tailored to their unique strengths and growth areas.

In a world filled with expectations and judgment, it is amazing that any of us make it through the day without going completely insane. Most of us barely make it out alive and are left buried in anxiety about being good enough, our children being bad kids, our friends and family not understanding us, and exasperation as we try to keep the whole family together while navigating the world of judgment.

Sometimes in life, we get frustrated, overwhelmed, confused, hurt, or just plan tired of struggling. It’s at times like these that we’re most vulnerable. And, in order to make it through the fight, we need a listening ear, guidance, and, sometimes, a push in the right direction, so we can become the best version of ourselves. Most of the time, that takes a lot of work and time. It is my privilege to assist in this process of life change. I enjoy meeting people where they are and, together, working on their unique and personal goals.

As your therapist I have the privilege of stepping into the story you find yourself in, curiously exploring it, help paint the picture of where you want to go, and together walk into that new reality. Life provides us with a mess of colors to paint a beautiful mosaic that we may never have envisioned. Whether you’re a teenager struggling to handle emotions, a young adult working through fears about your future and relationships, a couple facing a failed marriage, or a dad feeling like you can’t seem to get the fathering thing down, we can create that mosaic and find hope, freedom, and healing, if you’re up for it.

My counseling services are dedicated to helping clients resolve family, marriage, relationship, trauma, addiction and depression issues. In a non-judgmental atmosphere filled with understanding and respect, I am passionate about helping clients begin the healing process and find their purpose. I feel strongly about empowering people to help them get control of their lives... whether they want to recover from abuse, move forward after the end of a relationship, conquer an addiction or find peace after a loss.

Creative expression allows the unspeakable to be spoken. Do words sometimes fail you and you feel rather than addressing them to not even acknowledge them at all? Are you struggling with self-value or navigating the transitions of life? My goal is to assist the clients I work with in discovering their voice and empowering them to use it. This is achieved through identifying strengths, goal setting, and challenging adverse thoughts.

A client who is looking to better themselves as an individual. Their issues can range from something they are enduring internally, to anything they may be facing externally. They would like to overcome these challenges, because they look forward to a better tomorrow for themselves.

I work with individuals/couples/families who are looking to heal and live a life they are proud of. I believe in a comprehensive approach to mental health, wellness, and healing.
