I cannot think of a single person who hasn't hit a bump in the road of life. We all have this happen- you know, times when we go a bit off track. Maybe, it is difficulty at home or couples constantly arguing. Maybe parents and
children
are not getting along. Perhaps it is more personal: you are just not feeling quite right, are feeling down and depressed, or are anxious and disorganized. Maybe you are struggling with past hurts or trauma. I am here to help.

Kinsman Redeemer (KR) Christian Counseling Center
Counselor, MS, LPC-IT, NCC
Verified
Have you or your
child
experienced a scary or traumatic event. Adults and
children
experience similar emotions after a trauma but
children
may not have the words or ability to tell you whats going on inside. They often act out in ways parents and teachers may find difficult to understand or deal with. You may see changes in sleep/eating patterns, speech delays, anger, irritability, tantrums, fearfulness, aggression, bad dreams, worry or increased health problems. Adults express their trauma through depression, anxiety, intimate relationship problems, and anger. Most don't understand why. Both just want the turmoil inside to STOP!

Life is full of surprises. Unexpected situations occur that impact the ways in which we cope with the world and our circumstances.

You don’t have to face your challenges alone. I’m a big fan of helping you find your voice and live the life you love. I want to help you find your power and purpose so you can navigate life like a boss!

Your story matters and I’ll help you make changes to reclaim your own headspace! Whether you are challenged with abandonment, betrayal, injustice, or rejection, I will help you create more helpful ways of thinking.

Psychologist, PhD, NCSP

I help
children
, teens, & young adults normalize and approach these emotions by providing a space to approach and find workability.
“What matters?” This is one of the most important questions I can ask of my clients. Without knowing what matters what they are passionate about, neither of us know why we are in the “room." To figure out the why (Why WOULD I do my homework, why would I go to practice, etc.) gives us a meaningful direction. Also let’s talk about fun. Isn’t that the whole point of NOT being an adult? If I’m not enjoying the session, I can bet my client is definitely not. I work hard to ensure a relaxed and welcoming environment that is filled filled with unconditional positive regard, hard work, humor, flexibility and appreciation, and fun.
