Inevitably, we all encounter periods in our lives in which what we've learned to that point isn't sufficient for the challenges we now face. I believe therapy can be a safe, supportive environment in which to better understand ourselves and the world and to revisit what we want in life and how to get there. Whether you are dealing with significant anxiety or depression, or simply need a new environment to learn your way through new challenges with a helping eye and ear, I bring a humorous, creative, curious and open-minded approach to helping you progress through life's challenges.

Clients will find help for a variety of issues including behavioral, emotional, life transitions, grief, addictions, relationship issues, problem solving, skill building, spirituality, dealing with a disability and caregiving.

I have 30 years of experience helping people work through emotional, psychological and relational issues, both as a pastoral counselor for 13 years, and for the past 20 years as a licensed mental health practitioner. I am Grace oriented which means I take a nonjudgmental, accepting approach with clients.

My focus is to come along side those who are hurting. I see each person as a miracle in the making. Focusing on the four dimensions of life - mental, physical, emotional and spiritual, I strive to help each client find balance. I desire to be a journey mate and problem solver. Using faith-based insight and a variety of effective counseling skills, I help my clients as they work to reach their full potential.

At times, everyone needs a refuge from the storm, a comforting and safe place to unload, and inspiration to move ahead.

Many of us have addictions that cause chaos and destruction. We want to rise above these issues and find peace. We can do this, together. Cada persona, tarde o temprano, necesita un refugio, un lugar seguro donde se puede desahogarse. Aqui esta el lugar, conmigo. Yo entiendo sus batallas porque yo he luchado y superado muchos de los mismos problemas.

You work hard. You do your best. Yet you are still struggling to find happiness, peace, and meaning in your life. It's not your fault (really, it's not), but there are somethings you can do to make it better. There are ways to reduce your anxiety and depression, and to feel happy again.

My greatest strength within the therapy world is trauma and crisis intervention. I'm trained in several evidence-based therapeutic interventions to help with common emotional stressors including, trauma, depression, and anxiety. However, I also believe in a wellness approach to treatment as we can never separate the "mind" from the body. I'm passionate about awareness and taking a pro-active approach to treatment that includes an integrated component in working with your healthcare team in order to create a treatment plan that is based on your goals with the support of your "team."

When a person feels safe and heard then change and healing can occur. Change comes from understanding ourselves. Hurt people can get stuck in avoidant behaviors, such as using drugs or alcohol, anger and unhealthy relationships. Getting life back on track is complex, and no single approach is right for everyone. I have many tools to address addictions, PTSD, sexual trauma, anxiety and depression.

Finding the right therapist who understands and resonates with you is crucial in therapy success. I recognize the importance of this connection and emphasize building a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust, empathy, and respect. I am committed to creating a safe and inclusive space where clients feel heard, valued, and supported in their unique experiences and struggles. By tailoring my approach to meet individual needs and utilizing my expertise in working with men's issues, LGBTQ individuals, and adolescents, I strive to foster a deep understanding and connection with my clients to facilitate meaningful growth.
