Do you feel like everyday is a dice roll, and you never win? Have you tried everything you can on your own and nothing seems to get better? You don't have to do it alone. Victor Hugo said, “Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.” I am here to help you overcome your dark night and find peace. Starting, or returning, to counseling can be hard but I am passionate about making the experience feel safe and comforting. There is no threshold of pain or trauma you have to experience to qualify for counseling; your needs and problems matter. My focus is to meet you where you are and help you get to where you want to be.

Are you tired of feeling anxious, burnt out, and overwhelmed? Do you spend your days worried about what others think of you? If so, I want to empower you with new skills to find relief and create meaningful change. Through the use of CBT, ACT, and EMDR you can learn skills to address codependence, people pleasing, and difficulty saying no or setting boundaries. We will work to address intrusive thoughts and feelings of unworthiness or self-blame that prevent you from living your most meaningful life. When speaking about sensitive topics, you will be met with compassion and acceptance instead of shame or judgment.

I believe that one of the most important aspects of seeking professional help is to find someone with whom you can trust and feel comfortable in discussing your issues. As a licensed psychologist for over 30 years, I have successfully counseled numerous individuals and families in resolving difficulties in areas such as effective communication, coping with divorce, work/career issues, loss/grief, and serious chronic health conditions. All of these can lead to anxiety and depression. My goal is to help you to achieve inner peace and balance in your life.

Every person has a unique story and my open, compassionate approach reflects my respect and desire to help. Together we will collaborate on an individualized treatment plan tailored around your coping style, relational patterns, and personal goals. Regardless of your presenting concern (anxiety, stress, relational issues, trauma, spiritual/cultural concerns, personal & professional growth, communication problems, grief, body image issues, etc.), I will meet you where you are and strive to understand your situation so we can create a suitable treatment plan. I have worked with a variety of mental health issues, both in brief therapy and long-term therapy.

Are you experiencing grief, trauma (PTSD), addiction, anxiety, depression, or psychosis? Do you take medication, but it feels like something is missing or off? Maybe it’s something else.

I first became aware of my interest in Therapy shortly before Graduating from the University of Minnesota and obtaining a Second Bachelor’s Degree in Social Welfare. (Social Work Courses without the actual “Work”) I also had an interest in Physical Therapy and pursued this as an Enlisted Member of the Navy Hospital Corps where I succeeded in becoming a Physical Therapy/Occupational Therapy Technician. After practicing as a Licensed Physical Therapy Assistant in Texas for a few years, I utilized my GI Bill to pursue a Masters in Social Work from Our Lady of the Lake University of San Antonio.

Do you find yourself reliving unpleasant memories from your past? These could be situations of childhood abuse/neglect, the horrors of war, or single traumatic events (such as car accidents, assaults, or any situations in which your life or the life of a loved one was threatened). If this is the case, you might have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which is common in civilian and military populations. THE GOOD NEWS IS THERE IS A SOLUTION. There is a powerful therapy called EMDR which has proven to be effective with not only PTSD, but also many other mental health disorders, because more often than not, trauma is the core issue.
