At some point on life's path we all face times of challenge and transition. This is to be expected. It could be loss or illness, general life stressors, excessive worry, loneliness or hurtful relationships, or past trauma.

My goal is to create an environment that is safe to heal. One that each person can speak freely without fear of judgement or ridicule.I confront the core issues with warmth so that we can tackle each problem one-by-one. I can work with individuals, children, adolescents, couples or families. I am referred to as a "family therapist" because I work with one person or many at the same time. Sessions are tailored to the client needs and goals. Talk therapy is not for everyone and if someone has difficulty expressing themselves we can use other modalities.

Life storms” can show up at any time during the seasons of our lives. They can be mild storms or hurricane-level catastrophic storms. Those storms can range from work-related stress, broken relationships, losing a loved one, dealing with illness, job loss, fears, phobias, and traumatic, life-threatening events. These “life storms” can leave you feeling defeated, fearful, anxious, overwhelmed, and doubtful. You wonder if you will ever be able to find some sense of normal again. Every day is a struggle to get out of bed, go to work, tend to the kids, make dinner, etc. Days turn into weeks and weeks become months.

Sometimes, in order to reach God's full potential for us, we need a little help along the way. To be encouraged, motivated, empowered, and reminded of how strong and courageous we are. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11. I truly believe this! I am beyond blessed and grateful to be able to counsel anyone who is struggling, lost, broken, or just a little bit off-balance. I place great emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, validation, and on improving self awareness, insight, self esteem, and assertiveness.

Beginning therapy can be an anxiety provoking decision due to the vulnerable place you find yourself when seeking counseling.

It takes courage to make that first step, but once you do, you will begin to create positive change in your life, feel better about yourself and the one's you love. I have been helping people improve their lives and their relationships for over 25 years. I look forward to beginning this journey with you.
