We believe that focusing on wellness instead of illness is an important part of counseling. We do not believe in simply giving advice, but rather walking with the client through their concerns, helping them to build upon their strengths, and building a larger toolbox of coping skills to manage their unique situation. Our backgrounds include helping individuals ages 3 through late adulthood who suffer from depression, anxiety, trauma/abuse, grief, life changes, chronic illness, ADHD, behavioral disorders, addiction, personality disorders, and severe mental illnesses by using evidence-based practices. We currently have 7 therapists.

I have over 30 years experience working with individuals, couples and in group settings. I originally specialized in eating disorders, while serving an internship at Baylor University Hospital.

I work with adults and adolescents. I also work very closely with attorneys in divorce and child custody cases.

Generally, I provide therapeutic treatment and support to individuals ranging between ages 13 to adulthood. Many of my clients have a history of life experiences that relate to mood changes, low self-worth and maladaptive behaviors, including substance misuse/ abuse/addiction.

Many of my clients come in with difficulty adjusting to changes in life which reinforces maladaptive behaviors, mood, and negative self-perceptions as means of coping with transitions.

One of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Stories can be complicated and full of uncertainty. When change occurs quickly it is easy to lose sight of what makes us truly happy and healthy; thus making our story complicated at times. Every person is unique and has their own way of interpreting their story. Therapy works to foster hope and nourish the expectation of change; only if it is linked to responsive knowledge and evidence-based practices.

Hi there! If you've reached my page I imagine there's something going on in your life that you could use some extra support in working through. I know that starting therapy can be intimidating, so I commend you for taking this first step. I offer an empathetic, non-judgmental environment, and welcome anyone into my office.

The people who come to see me for help get my compassion, understanding and good judgment. Often, what is required is someone to talk with, who will pay attention and listen objectively, and then communicate that understanding in a way that is helpful. I like to give my clients practical ideas that can help enhance the conduct of their lives. I also think that by talking things out with an experienced professional, my clients gain the courage to take control of their lives and make the (sometimes difficult) choices they know they need to make.

Change can be painful yet powerful when you are able to learn more about yourself and grow personally. I have 28 years experience in helping people to heal from grief & loss. I am a trained EMDR therapist, and have experience in many different areas: mood disorders, post-partum depression, anxiety and panic disorders, trauma, stress and anger management, childhood trauma, and adoption issues, as well as helping people cope with medical issues. Additionally, I am trained in IADC--this helps address the deep sadness of loss, with the possibility of experiencing a deeper connection and/or experience with the deceased.

It has been my privilege to help people develop lives that are deeply meaningful and emotionally satisfying. Psychotherapy is not a set of tricks or techniques. Rather, it is a personal relationship that affects people on a number of levels. Most of my clients come away from the process with some new practical skills and new, more adaptive ways of looking at life. They also hone their capacities to look at themselves, with more insight and greater self-understanding. Particularly rewarding for me has been my work with families, assisting them in healing from the wounds and fractures of divorce.

I can offer you a safe space to work through depression, anxiety, stress, and life changes.
