The way I practice is really grounded in care - real, human care. I’m a clinical psychologist, but more than that, I’m someone who shows up fully. I take this work seriously, and personally. I work with people who are doing well in many ways, or who’ve already done a lot of work and gained insight, but still feel stuck - or burned out - or like something’s off and they can’t quite put their finger on it. Sometimes it’s been building for years, and sometimes something recent just knocks the wind out of you - loss, affairs, medical stress, relationship conflicts, or life suddenly not making sense the way it used to.

My ideal client is one who is established in their life and community, yet they are unhappy and feel stagnant or stuck. They may struggle in their professional career or feel unfulfilled in the workplace. They may be socially isolated or do not connect well with people their age. This individual, on the outside, appears to have it all, but they are not satisfied with their life. This individual may have untreated depression and/or anxiety. They may have come from a family of dysfunction and managed to get away from it. They need someone to assist them in examining this and determine what they want out of life.

Infidelity? Porn addiction? Sex addiction? Love Addiction? Trauma? I have specialized training so that you're not wasting your time and money. Not just talk, talk, talk that gets you nowhere. I used evidence-based treatments so that you're feeling better soon. As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), a Certified Partner Trauma Therapist (CPTT), and a Certified Multiple Addiction Therapist (CMAT), I'm trained in many addictions and compulsive behavior, as well as substance addictions. Most therapists aren't trained in all these issues. I offer EMDR trauma therapy, as well. There is hope.

Acceptance, empathy, and respect are the core values I live by and believe necessary when establishing a safe space while walking through the challenges you are experiencing. I get it, it is hard taking the first step to seek help. You may have been going through some difficult situations for a long time, but it does not have to remain that way. I believe you are the expert of your life and I honor that by providing a sacred space for you to process your thoughts and feelings. Together, we can discover your natural ability that fosters the change you seek.

On the outside you have it all together, and it seems like no one knows you're struggling - But on the inside, you feel overwhelmed, detached, stuck, burnout, stressed and depleted. It takes tremendous courage to start letting someone else in. I value your trust and start by actively listening to what it feels like for you on the inside. We will explore the different parts of you longing to be heard and seen, and will also support you learning to trust your own wisdom and the ways your body may have been communicating with you all along. Whatever may be the reason for disconnection from yourself, there's always a way back.

I have been in the mental health field for the last 9 years in mostly secular roles where I have to tone down my spiritual beliefs. I have since stepped out in faith to start my own Christian Counseling Ministry because I believe that there are many Christians that struggle with their own mental health but don't seek help out of fear of what the church may think. I believe there is some disconnect with how the church conveys mental health and I hope to be that bridge. I started this ministry two years ago as an effort to utilize my own faith in what I love to do which is help individuals find peace in their mental health.
