I appreciate working with couples to improve communication, negotiate changes that occur in our lives and to regain a solid loving and cherishing relationship.
Welcome to my practice. I have worked with couples, families, and individuals for 25 years helping to heal from trauma, affairs, and early life experiences that get in the way of having warm loving relationships and individual joy. It can be challenging to take the first step to move toward a better and more fulfilling life. Often we fear judgement. I can help you develop an understanding of the issues that are keeping you from living the best life possible. I will work with you to identify the underlying barriers and develop problem solving skills and strategies to cope with issues outside of your control.

Building a therapeutic relationship is a privilege and requires a foundation of trust, empathy and compassion.
Life can be beautiful but can also feel painful and challenging. It is easy to become distanced from ourselves and overwhelmed by feelings of anxiety, depression and grief. I believe that healing and empowerment come through being seen and witnessed. As your therapist, I will walk alongside you, helping you find the strength and courage to work through life’s challenges. My goal is to help people reconnect with their innate inner strength and learn to live out of a sense of purpose and belonging.

Are you constantly worried about what might happen? Do you re-play situations in your mind and wish you could go back and change what you said? Do you doubt yourself? Does all of this negative thinking make you feel exhausted? Symptoms of anxiety can take a toll on your well being and can cause many unwanted results. Anxiety can surface for many reasons at any time in your life. Experiencing these emotions can affect our relationships as well. It can be scary to take that first step to seek counseling, however that first step is all you need.

Becoming integrated and feeling whole is a process. The beauty is we are all capable of healing. Traumatic events in our lives via developmental stressors or one-time occurrences can greatly impact us and how we cope in the world. The coping skills early on were our best survival skills but may not work for us now. Time in counseling, reflection and motivation can help us move forward. Healing is possible and I believe this wholeheartedly.

My ideal client is a seeker, someone who is working on themselves to become more self-aware, or perhaps trying to understand the craziness of the world. They may be experiencing "spiritual emergencies," NDE's, having out of body experiences or psychic episodes. Most of their issues go beyond day to day problems. They may also have the desire to find the "root" cause of their health problems, and/or attempting to heal/bring their body into balance.

I am experienced in working with clients with a broad spectrum of presenting issues ranging from marriage and relationship issues to more serious mental health disorders, substance/sexual abuse issues and traumatic experiences, (including vicarious trauma, first responder/ police issues).
Feeling overwhelmed? Fearful? Life brings many challenges. Sometimes we hurt the ones we love the most. Sometimes, things are done to us that damage us for a long time. Things that are hard to face, but won't go away. All to often, we get busy, build up walls, become isolated, and sometimes can't find our way back without help. Faith-based counseling can help individuals and couples find their way back to their former selves, make change and repair relationships, restoring our joy and peace. Professional and compassionate counseling can help traumatized clients begin to heal again.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
