If you or your family are struggling with issues like substance abuse, addiction, eating disorders, or relationship conflicts (infidelity, communication problems, etc.), therapy can be a great way to deal with those struggles. Most people struggle without support for longer than is helpful. People have the innate skills to cope and bounce back from their struggles. My goal as a therapist is to provide a non-judgmental space for you to identify and grow the tools to work on those struggles.

Currently not accepting clients. "I belong everywhere I go, no matter where it is, or who I am with, as long as I never betray myself." -Brene Brown. We betray ourselves in a lot of ways, especially as women, as we try to please our loved ones. But self-betrayal is harmful, especially if it is a response to being betrayed by others. I am here to help you in your healing journey as you get to know and trust yourself so that you can make choices for yourself out of a sense of love and freedom- not fear or control. If you are anxious, stressed, or have been betrayed- know that trusting yourself may be the key to unlocking a full life.

In addition to having a Masters of Marriage & Family Therapy, I have postgraduate training in trauma (EMDR) and couples therapy ( Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy).

I work to provide an environment where people can feel safe to explore their life story, discover where they want to go and who they want to be. I walk beside people as they discover the path for them to grow and overcome. I see mental health as embedded in our family, community, and the world as well as within our body as a whole. I enjoy incorporating people's faith in the counseling process when desired.

I use Emotionally Focused Therapy ( EFT) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to help clients heal and grow.
I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, stress, and unresolved experiences that continue to impact daily life. Many clients appear functional on the outside while internally carrying overwhelm, painful memories, shame, grief, or emotional triggers. My approach is warm, practical, and evidence-informed. I am Master Certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which can help reduce the emotional intensity of distressing memories without repeatedly retelling every detail. I also offer trauma intensives for focused work and meaningful progress in a shorter time frame.

I believe that through counseling we can find value in ourselves, our adverse experiences, our mistakes, and even in the thoughts and feelings that can be difficult to share. We all reach a point in our life where we need change. I believe that in finding the value in all things and through self-discovery, we can promote change and begin to step into the life we wish to live.

Men and women are different, and guys have very specific counseling needs. A lot of men cringe at the thought of counseling, and understandably so. My goal is to show the guy who hates the idea of counseling how helpful it can be and that masculinity isn't inherently negative. Being a man is a good thing and being a good man is even better. My PhD research was on help-seeking behavior in men. I know that making that first phone call seems terrifying, but you owe it to yourself to give this a shot. You owe it to yourself to be well.

Through a Process Experiential and Emotionally Focused Therapy approach I help individuals and couples to gain insight and reorganize their experiences in order to create new patterns of dealing with the challenges they face in relationships and in life.
After spending 24 years as a missionary and pastoral counselor in Brazil, I have pursued training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy along with various Process Experiential approaches to working with emotional triggers and blocks. My approach avoids assigning blame and instead calls upon one's strengths to create new emotional/relational experiences.

Emotionally Focused Therapists
Who is emotionally focused therapy for?
Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) is for couples who are emotionally distressed, stuck in an unsatisfying relationship pattern or feeling deeply alienated. They may even believe the relationship is beyond repair. Very often, the partners display intense anger, fear, grief, loss of trust, or a sense of betrayal in the relationship. In addition, EFT is helpful to couples and individuals who have difficulty expressing emotions and those who have trouble regulating emotions.
Why do people need emotionally focused therapy?
People need emotionally focused therapy because the need for others is built into the brain, but the pressures of daily life can erode feelings of love, and couples often do not have the skills to find their way back to the comfort of each other. Instead, they may be stuck in repetitive patterns of anger, fear, grief, loss of trust, or a sense of betrayal. Emotionally focused therapy regards such strong negative feelings as expressions of protest over the loss of connection and turns them into pathways of reconnection.
What happens in emotionally focused therapy?
Over the course of eight to 20 weekly sessions, couples de-escalate their negative emotional reactivity to one another so that they can listen to each other and be responsive to each other’s needs. Then the deep emotional and physical bond is restored, giving partners a sense of comfort and security, which they can use to solve whatever problems come their way. The therapist plays an active role, helping partners understand how anger and withdrawal are actually misguided cries for connection.
What problems does emotionally focused therapy treat?
EFT is designed to help couples stuck in dysfunctional relationship patterns regain closeness and rebuild their relationship. Typically, such couples experience considerable distress, with partners feeling alienated and distrustful of one another, not certain their relationship can survive. EFT is also helpful to individuals experiencing attachment-related fears of loss; it helps them learn to use their fears as a way of eliciting the closeness they desire.
