I understand that seeking therapy is a personal and sometimes challenging decision, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

Throughout my career, I have probably worked with every single situation in the counseling field. I have worked inpatient, outpatient, and telepatient. I have worked in prisons, jails, psychiatric hospitals, IDD facilities, community MHMR, and community counseling centers. My specialties include drug and alcohol addiction, trauma, major depression, bipolar, schizophrenia, anxiety, stress, marital problems, anger management, and people with LGBTQ issues.

No matter your age, you may have trauma that needs to be addressed in order to find the quality of life you want. Life may be filled with stress and anxiety, or you may just feel like you don't belong. What about your walk with God? Are you struggling to know His plan for your life or plan steps to reach your goals and dreams? Relationally, there may be something that seems to be separating a couple rather than helping them come more together. Or a family is experiencing struggles that needs someone to help guide them through exercises to find peace again.

Every experience is an opportunity for learning that continually develops throughout a lifespan. Therapy is work that can enlighten individuals thus and promote change. I believe that change starts from within and can have an impact on the rest of the world. If you are going through a life transition, having difficulty with depression, anxiety, trauma, or grief, I can provide services to help with coping, healing, and growth. You don't have to have a problem to come to therapy. Perhaps, you are exploring new interests, changes, and need help navigating those experiences for clarity.
