Many couples don't know where to turn when they seriously consider separation or divorce-I am here to help. What happens when one of you wants to save the marriage but the other does not? What should you do when it seems that your issues are irreconcilable? I offer solutions to these and many more tough situations.

My private practice, Child and Family Therapy, was opened to reach out to individuals and families in a more personal setting after having worked as a Licensed Professional Counselor several years in the public school system. I enjoy working with children and adolescents dealing with grief, depression, suicidal ideation, autism, defiance, parental divorce, attention deficit disorder, and other behavior related issues. While working with the child it is vitally important to include the family unit to ensure as much success as possible.

Life is not always easy, kind, or fair. We face challenges every day. Most of the time, those challenges help us grow. Some challenges threaten to overwhelm us. Your challenges may be personal and recent like a job loss, death, or divorce. Other times those challenges have built up over years of pain. Often those challenges involve some of our most vital relationships including our parents or spouse. In those times a trained professional can be helpful.

I hope with all my heart that your life is working just as it should. I hope your life is full of wonder and joy, friendships and family, fulfilling work, and a promising future. As much as I may hope for it, and as much as you may wish for it, sometimes this just isn't happening. Sometimes unexpected, painful, and difficult events occur, leaving you feeling beaten up and broken. If this is where you are, you need to know it can get better! We can work on it together to make it better! You don't have to do this alone. Alone can be scary; together is better. :-)

I SEE CLIENTS 18 AND OLDER for individual therapy. Sometimes all of life seems overwhelming. Other times a single event triggers intense reactions and emotions. Still other times natural life transitions – finishing a degree, changing careers, marriage, parenthood, divorce, or retirement – stir up unexpected emotions. Counseling offers an opportunity to process thoughts & feelings, evaluate current habits and build new skills, leading to improved self-respect, healthier relationships and progress toward life goals.

The three primary goals I help my clients work towards in therapy are healing, recovery, and change. My areas of concentration include trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, divorce recovery, narcissistic abuse recovery, and work/career-related stress. Because your unique needs bring you to therapy, we will develop goals to meet such needs and evaluate our progress as we work towards set goals. My approach to treatment is conventional (evidence-based techniques), and faith-based Christian counseling. None of us is immune to life's stressors, but effective therapy can help us remain at peace as we handle those.

As a counselor and a nurse, I have spent my whole career helping people struggling through life's difficult journeys. Are you struggling with the lingering effects of abuse, neglect, trauma, divorce, loss or unwanted change? Though we can't change the circumstances, we can work together to improve how you express yourself, make decisions, resolve conflicts, manage stress and eliminate thoughts and behaviors that keep you from living your best life.
