You're tired, frustrated and just want peace at home! What works for one of your children doesn't work for the other and that's frustrating. Wish your teen girl came with an instruction manual? Your teen seems lonely, withdrawn, struggling with social issues, or can't control their anger and you feel hopeless because you don't know what to do to help. As parents we want our children to be healthy and happy yet sometimes we can't fix the situation for them and that makes us feel a failure as a parent.

Choosing counseling can be a monumental step in life's journey. I consider it a privilege to come along side you as you are seeking insight, growth and change. I enjoy working with women via phone therapy. My approach to counseling involves consideration of the whole person. Your mind, your body and your spirit. I utilize several counseling theories - Cognitive Behavioral, Solution-Focused, Emotion-Focused, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy among others. Mostly though, I focus on meeting you where you are and without judgment so that you can experience the growth you desire.

"I feel a true heart calling to work with those who are hurting and in need. I believe that we are created to fellowship with the Lord and called to experience a life of joy through a personal and growing relationship with Him.

Do the people around you rely on you because you’re an “over-achiever” or the one who always has it all together? You're putting on a smile while you say “yes” to one more thing, but inwardly you're panicking about how overwhelmed you feel. Or maybe you feel like you’re never perfect enough, no matter how hard you’re trying. Do you wear your constant busyness like a badge of honor because “everyone is just busy, right?” and to ask to slow down might seem like you're just lazy? I bet you look calm and collected on the outside, but do your racing thoughts keep you constantly on edge? If you're nodding your head right now, I get it.
