I have been a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist (LCAS) since 2001. I have a broad range of experience working with adults of all ages on mental health issues and substance use disorders. My expertise is working with PTSD, acute stress, and medical, developmental, and complex trauma. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Eclectic, EMDR, and Strength-Based modalities in my therapies. I believe that transformation is an active process and can be uncomfortable while learning new skills and strategies to better life experiences.

Seasons of life come and go and with each season comes new challenges. Many times, turning the page to the next chapter is difficult. While serving in pastoral ministry for over 10 years, I've had the privilege to witness many individuals and couples turn the page and experience the life that God desires for them. You can be all that God has created you to be and you can experience life abundantly. Sometimes we just need a little help reaching goals and working through situations and circumstances. I want to help you find the abundant life and turn the page to your next chapter.

Do you find yourself overwhelmed by intense emotions, feeling numb, constantly worrying about the smallest things, or never quite feeling like you belong? Maybe imagining the future feels unbearable, and sometimes you want to escape the mental pain. If you’re struggling with thoughts of self-harm or suicide, you are not alone; your pain is real. You also might be exploring what it means to be neurodivergent, living with chronic illness or a disability, or facing challenges like anxiety, OCD, trauma, or big life changes. I help people like you find balance between acceptance and change, building skills to create a life worth living.

When I imagine my ideal client, I think less about a specific concern and more about presence and intention. Therapy is not about perfection, but about what is honestly offered and shared. I feel a strong connection to creative communities and understand the unique emotional, relational, and professional challenges people in these fields often face. My ideal client is curious and reflective, willing to explore who they have been, who they are becoming, and how they relate to the world. Together, we work collaboratively to foster authenticity, self-understanding, and a fuller way of living on life’s terms.

My approach as a therapist is to meet you where you are at, look at where you want to go, and help you heal from the hindrances keeping you from getting to where you want to go. This process is about you and what you need to be successful in this life. I believe everyone is born with what they need to move forward in their purpose in this life. Unfortunetly, sometimes people, places, situations, and things get in the way of that, that is what I want to help you with, identifying those things and helping you develop positive coping skills to overcome the obstacles of life.

First, congratulations on taking the first step toward healing. Recognizing a problem is the first step toward finding solutions. Depression, anxiety, insecurity, fear, doubt and other feelings can weigh you down.

You want change and need someone to help. You need a partner that understands and will walk with you on the journey of growth and healing. You have made the first step and you are ready to take the next. How do you get your life back?

Are you frustrated with family, friends, love life, or lack thereof? Are you struggling to create and/or maintain friendships?

When you feel stuck or your coping strategies stop working, I provide a safe space for the collaborative work of healing. I view therapy like two people climbing separate mountains: while we are both hikers, my perspective allows me to see the rocky terrain or hidden paths on your mountain that might be hard to spot while you're climbing. As an expert on yourself, you bring the map; I provide the tools to help you navigate it more effectively. We often avoid discomfort, but emotions like anxiety serve a purpose until they become overwhelming
