My ideal client is any adult looking to create change in their life by being willing to change how they relate to their internal thoughts and feelings.

Stop finding yourself back in familiar, repetitive, negative emotion states like anger, anxiety, or sadness. I work with clients who experience intense or painful emotions along with the relationship or behavior issues that often accompany them.

I am a Christian Therapist. I believe each encounter possesses a unique and sacred exchange between individuals. It is a privileged opportunity to encounter the other person, realizing his or her dignity and appreciating the grand life narrative which has been created thus far.

I have always had an interest in not only how our minds, bodies, and spirits are connected, but also what takes place when an imbalance exists and then how to implore healing. I look at an individual through a holistic lens, and use this approach, when appropriate. A part of this holistic approach, I have the belief that as a part of the world and universe in which we live, that we are all, interconnected and operate as a part of a dynamic system. I am especially interested in how mindfulness practices, yoga, animals, and nature, might influence the ideas of acceptance and non-judgment, and overall, positively affect an individual.

Do you want to change your life situation, solve a problem, make a major decision, or gain a better understanding of what is happening in your life or relationships?

I have worked with children and adolescents, while also providing marital, family, and adult individual counseling as well.

Each person comes to individual therapy for numerous and very honest reasons, despite how overwhelmed and powerless they are feeling. It is okay to not know what to do or know what is next. Deep down, I believe that each one of us has the innate wisdom to know themselves and to know what to do next, under optimal conditions. Couples caught in a criticize-withdraw cycle are often doing what their survival instincts tell them to do. I am also highly trained in couples counseling and marriage counseling through emotionally focused therapy (EFT). Marital therapy and individual counseling need guidance from an empathic but neutral party.

I am a practical, interactive solution focused therapist. My treatment approach is to provide support, insight and feedback, to help clients address current challenges and long-standing issues.

Traditional talk therapy has limited benefits. Insight alone is not sufficient to generate change. Lasting change comes from addressing core beliefs which originate in childhood, and lead to habitual (and generally unconscious) ways of perceiving ourselves and the outside world. Thus 'our lives run us' rather than 'we run our lives'. Western culture tends to draw us away from ourselves to the outer world of materialism, competition and achievement. Mindfulness helps us to turn inward, attuning with the body, leading to the discovery of core beliefs that impede our ability to make healthy choices.
