I have been told that I am a good listener. This is an essential quality in a good therapist but it is by no means sufficient. Throughout my training, I have collected what I believe to be the most effective strategies and perspectives for bringing about change in a person's behaviors and beliefs that is consistent with who the individual wishes to be. I am particularly proud that I have been able to work effectively with people of broadly varying belief systems in ways that enable them to call on already existing internal resources to improve their lives within their own personal environment.

I enjoy working with clients who are looking for ways to create sustainable life changes in their physical, emotional, spiritual and relational health. I work with clients to reduce stress and anxiety, increase self awareness and create healthier connections and relationships with themselves and others. I work with clients facing health challenges such as depression, anxiety, eating and weight concerns, trauma, and relationship distress. I see the client as an integrated mind-body system and often work in supporting the client learn from the wisdom and experience of their body to help in their healing and growth process.

I attended Harding University and graduated with my B.A. in Psychology and my M.S. in Counseling. I have 24 years of experience in the mental health field. I primarily treat adults who are suffering from depression, anxiety, trama, PTSD, relationship issues, grief, bipolar disorder, and personality disorder. I believe that every client I treat deserves respect and has the ability to empower themselves to meet their individual life goals. I love what I do and I appreciate every client who walks through my door. I have a specialization in grief therapy and trauma.

It is natural to experience pain as well as joy during life. It is not, however, natural to remain in a state of suffering. I believe we are meant to live happy, joyful lives within a background of inner peace. Sometimes life's circumstances throw us off balance and professional help is needed to find our way back. That's what I do, that's my purpose, to help others regain, or possibly even discover for the first time that life is not to be feared or dreaded because of hurtful emotions.

Working with me offers opportunities for transformation thru healing, learning, understanding, awareness and personal growth. As a therapist with over thirty two years of experience, I will support you as you seek to find effective & meaningful solutions to your concerns & challenges, goals & outcomes. Your satisfaction with our work is always my priority. I have extensive training & experience with treating depression, anxiety, stress, death, grief, loss, co-dependency, self sabotage, life transitions, healing from trauma, exploring mind/body connections, improving your relationship with yourself & others.

It can be really tough to reach out and make that first step in seeking a better quality of life. Everyone needs someone in their corner, whether it be to listen or provide an unbiased perspective to work towards positive life changes. Maybe it's needing someone that doesn't judge you, knowing that, here, you are accepted for exactly who you are. Here, you get to let that out and work on being you in all areas of your life.
