Have you ever wished you could create supportive and loving relationships, rather than negative or toxic ones? Place a higher value on your own needs, rather than putting everyone else first? Achieve a sense of contentment instead of frequent feelings of sadness, fear, grief or shame? Find a greater sense personal fulfillment, happiness and peace? If so, there is hope. Change is possible. Over the years, hundreds of clients have partnered with me to take an honest, non-judgmental look at their lives. And together we have worked to help them dismantle emotional barriers and to discover new and fresh perspectives on themselves.

NOW is the moment of power. Now is the time to finally move beyond trauma, anxiety and depression toward a life worth living. I am a seasoned professional utilizing a variety of approaches (Attachment Theory, EMDR, Brain-Spotting, IFS, and Spiritual Psychotherapy). I mostly do Tele-Health with limited in-person time. I see myself as a facilitator toward your wholeness: you are the decision maker: emotionally, mentally and spiritually. The only limits are those placed on yourself. It's time my friend. I am a Shamanic-Reiki Practitioner in addition to my academic credentials. Reach out. Free 15 min consultation.

I have experience working with individuals, couples and families on issues related to addiction, infidelity and trust, self esteem, depression, anxiety, life changes, divorce, identifying goals, grief and loss as well as caregiver stress and elder adult issues and transitions. I have also worked with clients that are struggling with their identity, motivation and setting goals. I have experience with exposure response therapy to assist those with OCD. I also use trauma informed care to work with those who have experienced traumatic events from abuse to loss.

I work with individuals, couples, and families towards increasing the ability to manage, grow and thrive through life's transitions. The ultimate intention is shifting our outlook from living problem to problem to living solution to solution. By formulating our own answers we have the power to shape and direct our lives. Within the context of Mindfulness-Based Play Family Therapy, I also work with children ages four through the young adult years addressing a variety of developmental issues and assisting them in developing the tools necessary for success.

Resolve Community Counseling Center offers the services of 14 masters' and doctoral level mental health clinicians (LPCs, LAC's, LCADC's, PsyD), under the supervision of a licensed psychologist. We work with families and children of all ages, couples and adults experiencing a variety of mental health challenges. We also carry out psychological evaluations for clinical and forensic purposes. With our large clinical staff, we are able to accommodate the needs of most every person seeking assistance. We are a private nonprofit agency, with a mission to help our community members with low cost but quality, confidential and caring mental health services.

We have many parts of ourselves-emotional, spiritual, physical, and cognitive. If any one part should fall out of balance, it negatively impacts our whole being. I offer a safe, nurturing, therapeutic environment where you can explore these parts of your self and work toward restoring a comfortable balance in your life. Empowering you to make thoughtful decisions in your own life is the achievable outcome.
