Are you looking to strength your relationship? As a Marriage and Family Therapist, my goal is to create a space where relationships can learn to thrive. The approach I take in therapy is first and foremost a client-centered and strengths-based approach. Therapy is not ‘one size fits all’ so we will work towards your specific goals at your pace. I believe every client and relationship has innate strengths and abilities that will help them achieve their goals- I work to help you maximize those strengths and abilities.

Searching for a counselor is difficult, but finding a good fit is important to making counseling successful. Whether it's depression, anxiety, or a combination of things, these symptoms are likely just our best attempts at getting by, however destructive they may be. In my work with teenagers, young adults and adults, I work to create an environment and process that helps you work toward shifting out of the stuck patterns or cycles. The chance to realize a new way of being is a gift, and it may not be as far away as you think.

What would more joy and satisfaction in life be worth to you? Many people walk this planet unaware of their own intentions, and motives. They are subjective to life and life simply "happens to them." Through nonjudgmental, therapeutic exploration and approaches, I challenge and empower my clients to know themselves, to know God (their faith), so they can better understand and interpret their world and the people in it. Stop letting life happen to you and start showing up purposefully each and every day. I consider it an ultimate honor to walk people through this process. Give me a call today! I look forward to hearing from you.

I have always liked this quote: "People who need help sometimes look a lot like people who don't need help." I am drawn to this quote and to counseling because I am a person who has lived through a storm or two. And, although your storm and mine may not look the same, I believe we all have common needs: to heal from something in our past, to overcome stress, fear and anxiety that makes us feel powerless and hopeless, or to navigate through an important relationship that is difficult.

Offering a safe, confidential environment, I invite you to embark on a journey of discovery.

First Responders experience unique expectations and stressors that can sometimes result in feeling agitated, angry, short-fused, numb, withdrawn and just not caring anymore. First Responders also have an arsenal of strengths and resources that can be activated to thrive in all areas of their life. Learning and training with experts to optimize performance are accepted practices among First Responders and making the decision to improve "life" performance is no different. We will work together to identify specific target areas, set specific goals, and have a measurable outcome utilizing evidenced-based practices and approaches.

As stated above, due to the current Covid 19 pandemic, I am providing counseling sessions through a secure online platform or through phone calls. I have been happy to realize that my veteran and new clients are all satisfied with this protocol and do not feel that they are "missing" anything by not being in my office. Good, healing therapy begins with the trusting relationship between the therapist and the client; that can be built through several types of communication styles. When this emergency is over, you will have the freedom to decide if you wish to continue online or have sessions in my Mason or Forest Park offices.
