I must be perfect. I will fail. I'm permanently damaged. I cannot trust myself. Do these, or other negative beliefs feel true, even though you may know they're not true?

I am trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).
Everyone can utilize counseling at one time or another in their life. We all struggle with issues or problems that we need help working through. Therapy is not a bad word. It takes courage and strength to admit that you need help and take the steps to get that help. I provide a safe, compassionate environment for you to talk about issues. I work with adolescents, teens, adults, families, and the elderly. I believe we are mind, body and spirit; all three of these need to be in line to be a whole, healthy person. I believe in the power of prayer and how it changes our lives.
