From an early age relationship shapes us, and the throws of life can do harm and trigger wellsprings of emotion that make coping and communication difficult. Emotionally laden issues can take on a life of their own and the negative cycle can feel exhausting and unending. The subsequent stress and anxiety strain relationships and tax the mind, body, and spirit. As a marriage and family therapist with a doctorate in traumatology, I enjoy helping individuals and married couples process the complexities of emotion and mental wellbeing to discover longstanding patterns and issues that thwart health, peace, and intimacy.

Therapy is a time to reach out and begin to make changes for how you want your life to be different . . . and a therapist helps you find the courage, gather the tools necessary and choose a path to go after it. I have over 25 years experience working with children, families and individuals to assist them in getting back on track with their lives. Specialty areas include children with behavior issues, recovering from abuse and trauma, and coping with divorce, along with all ages of adults wanting a higher quality of life as a result of anxiety and depression.

Some people have trouble sleeping, coping, abusing substances, & communicating with others. Past traumas and negative ways of coping have affected you mentally, physically, & spiritually also impacting the way you respond to others and your own negative self-talk. You may have tried to manage these issues on your own, with no lasting results, leaving you feeling tired, sad & defeated. I want to help you stop the painful cycle & gain tools to thrive!

It is my goal to partner with each individual, couple, family, and group member and to support each person in becoming the best version of themselves!

First, I would like to take a moment to applaud you for taking this difficult first step in the change process towards a healthier more positive you. Finding the right person to help you make these positive changes can be challenging. I am here to be your change facilitator, your partner for becoming the person you want to be.

You present a relaxed front, but internally you are struggling. Even though you are doing everything you “should” be doing, something doesn’t feel right. Your anxious thoughts keep you up at night. It seems your child’s anxiety is increasing your own. Worrying about pleasing others - taking on more than you should to make people happy, settling for less because you feel too guilty to ask for what you need, etc. (you get it) - all of this has gotten in the way of figuring out what you want out of life.

No matter what is going on right now, you have taken a huge step in seeking out help for yourself and/or your family. It is often very difficult for people to admit that they need help, and now that you have taken the initial step I would be honored to come alongside you and your family and assist you with whatever you are experiencing. I believe in building on your strengths and increasing your resiliency.

I like to work with children, adolescents, and adults using the creative process to support and encourage young people to understand themselves, their issues, and the world. We all have problems in life, and mental health-related concerns are some that need our attention daily. Children experience the same problems that we as adults do. However, they may look and feel different due to their development and emotional strength. Each family may have different goals and needs; understanding and focusing on each child and patient and their needs is important, and having verbal and non-verbal ways to do so can be what is needed.

Accepting New Clients! Is your child struggling to cope with life’s every day emotions? Are they struggling to manage their anger? Or engaging in negative behaviors at school? Sometimes children and adolescents need additional support to learn how to navigate life’s challenges and peer influences.

My ideal client would be someone who is geared towards helping themselves and needing guidance on how to do so. Someone who has a grasp on the importance of the client putting in the work to truly help heal themselves but needing assistance ensuring they are doing things in a healthy and emotionally intelligent fashion. Talk therapy is very important for clients who even just want to come and vent, which I believe helps the mind unclutter.
