Do you feel discouraged about the direction your life is going? Is it difficult lately for you to make decisions? Are you grieving because of unresolved challenges in your marriage or family relationships? Learning to see things from a new perspective and learning tools to change negative thought patterns is what therapy is all about. You have done many hard things. You can keep growing and experience life with hopeful expectation. Refocusing your vision is not as difficult as it may seem once barriers are identified and resolved. Your life goals are not beyond reach, and all things are possible one step at a time.
As a believer in Jesus Christ, I can offer you biblically-based CBT, which includes the process of examining how thoughts, feelings and behavior interact. Taking thoughts captive means choosing what you allow to take root in your mind. When painful, negative thoughts are rooted in traumatic experiences, supportive talk therapy illuminates new perspectives.
What will your first session be like? You can expect to be treated with professional respect and compassion. You can expect to be listened to without interruption. You can expect to choose your own goals and set your own pace. Sometimes restoring hope starts with figuring our how you lost it and reaching out for support.

I work with people who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma and relational challenges. During our initial sessions, you will learn how trauma, childhood attachment experiences and beliefs about yourself and others may be affecting your freedom to enjoy life. Most people notice a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first few weeks and continue to improve thereafter.
