First and foremost, if you are reading this, I want you to know that I see the strength it took for you to take this step in asking for help. I work with clients ages 3 and up to navigate many life challenges - whether that is reprocessing past trauma, struggling in relationships, infertility/perinatal struggles, or navigating the day to day stressors of life. Being a member of the military/veteran community, I am also passionate about working with military/veterans and their family members on the unique challenges they face in their day to day life. I hope to help each person rewrite their story into something they can be proud of.

Feeling sad, drained, overwhelmed, or repeating the same behavior patterns and want things to change? Is your youth struggling emotionally or behaviorally and need additional support? Dealing with day-to-day struggles and/or past hurts can be emotionally taxing for you or your youth. It prevents us from being the person we want to be and live the life we want to live. The good news is you or your youth don’t have to navigate life’s complexities alone.

Do you find yourself struggling with having high self-esteem? Maybe you recognize that you avoid pursuing specific goals? Or maybe you recognize that you limit your own opportunities because you worry about “failing” or not being “good enough”, or fear “disappointment”. Maybe you find yourself struggling to feel comfortable at work, or in your relationships. When we struggle with having healthy self esteem it can sometimes lead us to experiencing limiting beliefs about ourselves and the world around us, in which this often leads to a variety of issues that sometimes makes us feel like we are “stuck”.

Asking for help can feel so scary, but I promise to make the process as comfortable for you as I possibly can. Therapy is a team effort between the client and the therapist, but in my office, you as the client will always be in the driver's seat.

My goal is not just to help people have a better life here on earth, but to help people have a right relationship with God. Over and over again we see the connection between spiritual health and emotional, mental and physical health. While spiritual health alone does not make every problem go away...spiritual health is critical to bringing emotional, mental and physical health. Most of us have experienced feelings of hurt, disappointment, fear, rejection, loneliness, grief, guilt, and/or shame. These feelings may cause us to project an image that is not necessarily true to who we really are.
