Nervous about becoming a new mom? Maybe postpartum hasn't looked like you thought, or the "baby blues" haven't let up. Are you fearful and anxious of harm coming to the baby?

You keep replaying the incident in your mind even when you don’t want to. The event has left you feeling on edge and afraid. You can’t relax and it’s impossible to be in public without looking over your shoulder. You can’t stay anywhere too long, or you fear you will come apart. People around you don’t understand and tell you to get over it. You wish you could simply get over it, but this event has taken over your life. You don’t recognize yourself, and you don’t think you can ever be the person you were before. You can’t sleep or focus. You believe the incident was your fault and think of things you should have done differently.

I believe in the power of fostering a strong therapeutic alliance built on trust, respect, and authenticity.

It has been said that: "God uses our deepest pain as a launchpad for our highest calling". However, a lot of the times we become immobilized by the pains we have endured. My goal in counseling is to remind believers and non-believers that there is hope past the pain, shame, and doubt they are experiencing; through modalities of individual, couples, family and pre-marital counseling.Do not let shame and doubt rule over you any longer but instead gain insight and authenticity as you understand your Creator, your process and yourself more fully.

As a therapist, I work hard to provide acceptance, unconditional positive regard and empathy to build a strong therapeutic relationship. The work I do is deeply rooted in my belief that everyone can find success. I believe that everyone has the ability to reach their highest potential once they have overcome the obstacles that stand in their way. In our work together, I help provide support in identifying barriers and creating a tailored plan for individual needs. Through collaboration and support we can work to find healing.
