Trained in Christian marriage and family counseling - as you might expect, my practice naturally focuses on all things family. Whether I'm helping marriages rekindle their spark, discovering that ever so subtle intervention which transforms discord into family harmony, or breaking through the invisible wall of an obstinate adolescent or child - with over 35 years in the field, there's little I haven't dealt with.

My goal as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) is to help others live with themselves and relate with others as we are intended to-with health and function, not with illness and dysfunction. To do this, I utilize approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) integrated with biblical truth to help explore thoughts, feelings, and choices in a compassionate and empathetic way. I believe that while we are responsible for these, we also need grace and patience as we face the challenges to change.

Our healing journey is exactly that - a journey. I know personally how difficult that journey can be, I've been there. At its core, my primary goal has always been to find personal peace, a goal that remains steadfast even today. Can you identify with this quest for inner harmony? Are you also on a journey to unlock the best version of yourself? Understanding that desire intimately, I have chosen a purposeful path that enables me to utilize my passion and talents to help others unearth and embrace their true selves. My aim is to guide them towards finding peace with the authentic version of who they are - their Real U.

I am a clinical psychologist with a special interest in health and wellness, both physical and emotional. I have also completed specialized training in evidence-based therapies for treatment of PTSD. I have enjoyed working with medical populations as this has deepened my understanding of the mind-body connection, particularly how health conditions can contribute to emotional problems and vice versa. Although we may not always be able to choose or change our current circumstances, we are able to choose how we think about, manage, and cope with our circumstances which can lead to a change in our overall health.

I enjoy working with people to help them build a strong sense of self, to encourage their confidence in relationships, and to help foster a sense of calm and security in their everyday life. I enjoy helping parents navigate the many challenges that come our way. I believe people seek therapy for many reasons: adjustment to a new city or life situation, feeling overwhelmed or stuck, or problems with relationships. Counseling is a process and that most of us could benefit from time to time at different stages in life, as it brings an outsiders perspective to events, we are faced with in day to day life in a nonjudgmental way.

I offer no magic solutions; you will only get out of therapy what you are willing to put in it. Relationships take work, and you must have a willingness to look at yourself honestly in the process of creating a solution. I will help guide you in learning ways to communicate again and find common languages in your relationships. I use my skills to help you understand yourself, fill gaps in relationships, fill gaps that feel like they will never heal, and help heal wounds. I pride myself on telling my clients the truth and motivating them to choose boundaries that better their lives. I don't take sides and tell you like it is.

I have been a counselor for 30+ years. While my passion is working with couples, I also love working with individuals and teens, helping them through life's difficulties.

We all have issues that creep up. We know, without resolution, minor issues become major.
