My therapy philosophy is based around a core belief in the beauty and importance of the individual and family. When I work with children and families, I believe I'm in the presence of something sacred. Parents want to be the best they can be, and they are doing miraculous things, every day. I love to hold up a proverbial mirror and let parents and caregivers see what I see: Good Stuff. Problems appear in the best of families.

I enjoy working with young adults and adults who recognize something is off. Are you stressed out at work or school? Or are you just tired, just exhausted, and crash every night as soon as you come home? Are you feeling unmotivated to do even the simplest tasks? Are you worried that you may say, do, or wear the wrong thing day after day? Do you lash out at others and then you think, “Where in the world did that come from?!” Are relationships difficult for you? If any of these sound like something you have experienced before, then I am here to help.

I am an LPC with 17 years of experience, EMDR trained to work with clients of all ages. I am also a Christian Counselor if that is what my clients are needing. I love children, adolescents and the challenges they bring to family dynamics. I tailor my style to the needs of my clients, because no two clients are alike. I'm solution, attachment & trauma focused. My heart is in what I do and invested in my clients success in therapy. My passion for what I do and helping others, is what makes me an effective therapist.

As a counselor, coach, and teacher I have always had a focus on making interventions for positive change for adults, families, and children. In my experience key elements can be provided to promote quality life skills. In some instances the client may have issues regarding traumatic events, depression, anxiety, grief, lack of self-esteem/confidence, addictions, decision making skills, and finally abuse of a physical and emotional nature. Therapy can provide aspirations and tools that can promote positive change along with resilience for maintaining a good quality of life.

I believe that healing and emotional growth are ongoing processes, and that they truly continue throughout our lives. We are constantly breaking, repairing, learning. We are evolving in every moment. At times, however, we find ourselves stuck in the breakage. Unable to find the bend. Paused in the darkness and depth. Whether it is early childhood trauma or a current life situation; an unhealthy attachment or a tragic loss; low self-worth or misguided aggression...with mindfulness, awareness and a deep and connected relationship with a counselor, we can learn to find our way again.

Has life handed you challenges that have impacted your ability to live the life you envisioned for yourself? Sometimes, despite our best efforts, these burdens can leave us feeling out of control, overwhelmed, misunderstood, and alone. If any of these feelings describe you or someone you care about, asking for help is a courageous first step to take.

I support individuals and families who have reached a time of upheaval, struggling to get through their day to day lives. I have a history of serving individuals and families caring for loved ones with chronic illness and who suffer from chronic illness. I strive to support the mental health of individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, anticipatory grief, grief and just life's difficult times. I am passionate and skilled in making positive changes with skills, therapy and resources.

Our journey through life has an incredible number of possibilities that are limited only by our imagination. I believe that each of us has the story that we have been told our life should tell, and that when we inevitably diverge from that path, our problems begin to arise or take on new shapes that have a greater impact on us. My approach varies based on each individual client, but influenced by the understanding that we are impacted by connected to one another, as well as to our environments and the systems within which we live. The decision to begin therapy is a brave one. It's a chance to begin the rewriting of your own story.
