Your heart is aching. The past few months have felt like one crushing defeat after another, but this recent loss has taken the pain to a whole new level. The depths of it are becoming deeper and more concerning than you ever imagined. You try so hard to be that "glass-half-full" kind of thinker, but your mind just doesn't seem capable. It just stays parked in defeat, no matter how often you try to talk yourself out of it. Will life ever feel normal or happy again? You now understand grief in ways you never wish you did, yet have no idea what to do now that you are here.

I offer individual counseling. Being human means that life is going to be difficult sometimes. We may need to explore different avenues for change. Current struggles may be due to a major life transition like a job loss, becoming a parent, a death in the family, or a new relationship, or they may be due to current unhealthy dynamics in existing relationships. Sometimes unresolved trauma is at play. Sometimes we just get "stuck in a rut" and can't seem to make any positive changes that would enable us to go in a different direction. Depression and anxiety can be our body's way of telling us that it is time for change.

Evenings with your partner have become a routine of strained conversations and distant silences. Arguments over trivial matters escalate into icy standoffs, leaving both of you feeling wounded and unheard. The warmth that once filled your home has grown cold, replaced by an uneasy tension that hangs in the air like a heavy fog. Your relationship is hanging on by a thread, and the love that was once there has been replaced with tension and resentment. The irritability and disconnect are deep down. You know the relationship cannot continue like this—not if you want to salvage what is left of your once-beautiful marriage.

It's like you're constantly battling to keep up with daily routines while juggling inattention, compulsions, and overwhelming worry. This has made school or work feel nearly impossible and put a strain on your relationships. Managing your emotions has been especially challenging, often leading to increased stress and depression. You sense it in your body and in your innermost thoughts. It’s been an uphill battle trying to handle all of this on your own. It's hard to know where to start, and you feel stuck.

No one ever told you parenting would be this hard. You love your child, yet the constant battle to keep them content and squash their tantrums feels like an energy drain from which you can’t recoup. You’ve tried everything-redirecting, timeouts, and positive redirection, only to find you are losing your temper more than you care to admit because nothing works. You are in a never-ending cycle of chaos. You realize your stomach turns every time the phone rings in case the school calls again to report another incident. You wish you could just escape, but you can’t tell anyone because you fear you’ll be judged for being a bad parent.

With such uncertain times, every individual and relationship is struggling with the most basic tasks of day-to-day living. This collective trauma has re-triggered past traumas in addition to increasing anxieties, mood issues, sleep problems, and a strong sense of unease. Individuals, as well as couples, are looking to go from surviving to thriving in this “new normal.” I can help you with this leap towards a more satisfying life. I teach skills and give tools to individuals/ couples, allowing for a greater sense of peace and fulfillment with their lives.

You’ve spent years working harder, performing better, and aiming higher, only to be met with disappointment and a pervasive sense of emptiness inside. You’ve struggled to find your life purpose with no answer in sight. It’s as if you’re trapped in a never-ending cycle of hopelessness and despair. The frustration and confusion from the lack of clarity have made you feel emotionally bankrupt and have made success feel even more distant. The harder you try to overcome these feelings by setting new goals, the less clear things become. This only perpetuates the cycle of despair and worsens your sense of hopelessness.

I love being a counselor and a teacher. I like helping people figure out what they want from their life and how to make the changes and tap into the resources to make that happen. To learn how to create balance in every area. One of my favorite expressions is people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. The reason I became a counselor is to help make a difference one person at a time.

I’ve been in the counseling field for nearly 30 years and continue to feel passionate about helping each person, family or couple. As a faith-based therapist I integrate my clinical experience & training with biblical beliefs in my treatment approach. Healthy relationships are vital to living a satisfying and fulfilling life. The first step in healing is self-awareness. Understanding your emotions and thoughts can guide you in establishing healthy boundaries. Second, grasping the body-mind connection is vital to the transformation process. Lastly, identifying your attachment style can improve your friendships, marriage and family.
