"I believe everyone has a right to live a calm, happy and fulfilled life. For some, that is easier said than done. For those who are having a more challenging time finding the life they want, counseling may be the right choice to help guide those who are ready for change.

I offer researched based systems, therapies and support for the individual, as well as resources for the entire family, to help bring function and joy to their lives."

"I help individuals and couples create and sustain the positive changes they seek in their lives. I provide a supportive environment for clients to practice skills designed to enhance personal, relational, and professional satisfaction. I help people who are hurting after the loss of loved ones and difficult changes in their life. For example, death of a spouse, divorce, parenting challenges, and workplace stress. Additionally, I am familiar with the challenges of military families, deployment, and first responders. The unique cultural challenges of these groups and how therapy can help normalize and reduce mental distress for families and individuals."

"I meet clients where they are at in their personal process: your needs guide the counseling session. My depth of experience and explorations underpin my work as a clinician. My goal is for you to feel heard and understood, which allows you to make positive lasting changes. Conditions treated with success in working with younger to older adults include life dissatisfaction, anxiety, depression, grief, social isolation, relationship concerns, panic attacks, compulsive and addictive behaviors, and identity struggles. As well, I have additional training in treating women and their families impacted by postpartum depression."

"I believe that good therapy is a journey that I accompany my clients on. I feel that each person is unique and the course of therapy is tailored to their needs and comfort level. My ideal client wants something different, better or more in their life and they are ready to work for it. I use both traditional therapeutic styles and hypnotherapy to help my clients find the change they are looking for. I am honored to work with my clients on depression, anxiety, stress, medical noncompliance, health issues, abuse, anger, trauma, weight loss and other life issues."

" I like to view counseling from a systems and solution focused perspective. I believe in order for change to occur, all parties need to be heard and valued.

"These strengths describe my work as a therapist: Personal Encourager, Life Coach, Thoughtful Companion, and Resourceful Ally. I bring a life experience that remains open to your life experience.

"I understand that there are different seasons in life. Times that are joyful and times that are perhaps a struggle. It is my belief that counseling can fit into any season, and the relationship you build through trust and acceptance with your therapist is the foundation to success and change. It is my philosophy that though, I cannot carry my clients through the seasons and struggles that they may be experiencing in their lives, I CAN walk along side them. I look forward to learning about your season and starting that journey together."

"Are you in need of a change in your life? Are you struggling in your current relationships at home or at work? Do you feel like you don't know what to do? Taking the first step towards change and growth can be hard. Talking to someone can be very powerful. You already have the capacity to be happy and productive. I can help you to make the changes needed to have a healthy, strong, and poductive life."

"Making the decision to seek counseling can be an anxious time, but I believe it can be the start to a positive, productive, and deeply satisfying experience. It can give you a chance to address concerns that may be affecting your work, relationships, spiritual beliefs, and your happiness or peace of mind. Therapy may be active and solution-focused, or quiet and reflective; it provides a chance to explore your understanding of yourself and others, and address specific struggles. I recognize that it takes incredible courage to start this process and I will help to make it as empowering as possible."

I use a strength-based and practical approach. I have a sense of humor which seems to help clients feel more comfortable. Therapy's primary focus is on the present with an understanding of the effects of past events on current behaviors and the need to process unresolved issues. "The turmoil of the past is never wholly forgotten, unresolved it seeps through even the strongest foundation.""

"Depression, anxiety, conflict, betrayal and relationship issues impact all areas of our lives and can be addressed in a respectful and straight forward manner. I believe that counseling needs to meet you where you are so I am comfortable with using individual, couple or family therapy depending on what is most likely to be effective. I pledge to do my very best to help you and your family reach a new level of health."
