Is your relationship suffering from infidelity or betrayal trauma? Are you suffering from heartbreak? Has your trust & belief in the person closest to you been shattered? Or are you the individual who has betrayed your partner and come to realize how much you have really lost? I will provide understanding, stability, ​and hope in the aftermath of infidelity & intimate betrayal. I work with a broad spectrum of clients. Among my areas of expertise are; Relational issues, Infidelity, Betrayal-trauma, Love addiction & Love Avoidance, Complex PTSD, Family of Origin complications and/or concerns related to sexually compulsive behaviors.

Today's busy society requires many people to have so many roles, responsibilities, and obligations that they feel fractured and fragmented; many develop anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and other emotional problems as a result. I understand how hard it can be to live a life that sustains and honors your values without giving in to 'business as usual,' and I can help you heal the fractures.

Clients come to me in trying times for help dealing with issues like depression, grief, anger and marriage issues. I don't see myself as the "expert" who is going to provide all the "answers" but I do promise to walk with my clients as they address the issues we identify together that they want to in therapy. I am comfortable working one on one, or with couples and families from age 6 to adults. I'm also a Pastor and a Chaplain so I have been theologically trained and can explore spiritual issues and crises as a pastoral counselor.

I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, disordered eating, and related mental health issues for women including depression, anxiety, body image struggles, self-harm, and relationship distress. Therapy requires both the therapist and the client to be active - I think of it as a joint venture of taking on your unwanted symptoms together. The process of recovery and therapy may feel daunting to you. A part of you may want freedom from your symptoms and yet another part seems to be holding on to your current lifestyle. These are normal feelings and talking about this dilemma is a good place to start.

My mission is to develop and nurture a therapeutic relationship that enables individuals, couples and families to navigate through challenges to reach their full potential and live their best lives. I believe that everyone deserves fulfillment and have it within them to not only explore the possibilities, but to also make it happen. I also believe in helping athletes learn and understand the importance of mental strength to enhance performance through personal growth and finding fulfillment in their experiences. Through discovery, acceptance and nurturing, we can get there together.

I believe that we are all born with a capacity for happiness and inner well-being, and each of us desires to live a meaningful and enjoyable life. During times of tremendous change and life transitions such as becoming a parent or navigating the challenges of adolescence, we reflect on our identities, redefine significant relationships, and begin to conceptualize the future. If you are seeking support on this journey, for yourself or for your child, I invite you to reach out to me.

Do you feel overwhelmed, exhausted or discontent? Do you feel like there is more you want to experience or do and don’t know how to get there? Are you struggling with being your authentic self in your professional and/or personal relationships? Do you want to experience joy, peace, and fulfillment, but just don't know how to make that happen?

As human beings, we are made for connection and we crave a sense of love and belonging. In this fast paced world where it is difficult finding time to come together with our loved ones, build connection and grow in relationship, we are suffering the negative effects of isolation and depletion. Anxiety, depression, mental and emotional exhaustion, and fear are running rampant through our lives and it is time to take back control. It is my passion and privilege to help my clients to integrate balance, wholeness, self-care, and fun into this beautiful chaos we call life.

Are you experiencing life stressors, relationship difficulties, or struggling with anxiety or depression? Have you experienced loss in your life? We all deal with different challenges in our lives, and we all need a safe place to share our thoughts, emotions, hopes, and goals. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to share your experiences, to feel supported, and to be heard. Together, we will acknowledge and process the struggles you have experienced, and clarify your goals. Then, we can work together to find a path forward. New clients can call, or visit www.willowbrookcounselors.com and request an appointment.

I am open minded and a free thinker. I listen without judgement, but listen with a mindful ear to help you sort through “stuff.” Life can be difficult to unpack and with specific attention to you, your thoughts, concerns and routines I can help enhance your way of living by thinking of ways, together to make your circumstance better. Most times it truly can be helpful to have someone else who can observe and listen. That’s me!

My mission in life is to assist others in developing their “Best-Self” to get as much pleasure from living their lives as they desire, which will be learned from their newfound insight through their own process and reflection work with me. This includes loving themselves, understanding their purpose in life, and developing a reflective self-care routine. Understanding that at certain points in our lives we all may "hit a wall" whether it be emotionally, financially, or physically; but too understanding that walls are put in place to for us to  lean on, rest upon, and reset our plan to achieve our prospective goals.

As a recent graduate of Liberty University, I am excited to exercise the knowledge learned in the classroom, as well as the experience gained in the field. In my two years of experience, I have worked with adults and adolescents facing various challenges. These include depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, feeling overwhelmed, grief, assertiveness, communication skills and more.

Are you experiencing depression, anxiety, have difficulties concentrating and completing tasks? Do you have difficulties with substance abuse? All of the uncertainty with living life in a pandemic can have a significant strain on your life. Not being able to predict your tomorrow and where life will take you is hard to fathom.

Are you desiring to reclaim your life after a painful loss? Are recent changes in your normal routine have you feeling emotionally drained? Grief is the normal and natural reaction to loss of any kind. Whether it's the death of a loved one, a divorce, career change, a move, change in health, loss of freedom, or any of the 40+ losses a person may experience during their life time; I will walk this journey with you! Also, with 35 years as Substance Abuse Treatment Professional and an Advanced Grief Recovery Method Specialist, an additional aspect of my work is centered in the correlation between addiction, grief and relapse.

I have been providing counseling services to adolescents and adults for over 30 years. I have extensive training in the treatment of addiction, trauma, PTSD and anxitey and mood disorders. Together we will determine your goals and my treatment approach will be based on where you are in your journey. I am not a therapist who will simply ask you "how do you feel?" I am very active. I can not do the work for you, but together we will explore what has brought you to therapy and I will gently guide you to a path of healing and growth.
