There is no doubt that my specialty is working with bipolar clients and their families.
Much of what I have learned about people, I learned from my dad who was a pastor for 55 years. I too have been in ministry for 30+ years. I see people every day people starving for fulfillment that is lasting and not just "feel good" emotions. Many people have had no foundation in life. They have been kicked from one place to another all of their lives. This causes deep wounds that need to be healed. I seek to "help" bring that healing. I consider my calling as a counselor one of great privilege, honor, and second only to my own family.

Everyone needs to feel needed and respected! I believe this is a basis to having a good sense of self. However, sometimes life's circumstances prohibit us from being our best. Not feeling okay is fine but not getting support is not okay. We all have friends we can talk to but having a designated therapist to focus on you and guide you through relevant processes can be a boon to achieving your goals. With a compassionate ear and heart I am here to help you through those bumps in life. Why me? Because I have experienced these processes from all angles, I have taught them and I have learned from them myself. Let me be the one to help.

The innovations of our modern world bring new forms of stress while intensifying those which already exist. Hours of the day are spent in grueling stop and go traffic, and to advance one's education or career often requires uprooting from what is known and setting up in a completely new place. People are working more hours than ever before, while cost of living, overpopulation, and globalization heighten the stress of just trying to get by. With change comes the pain of adapting to the way the world is now, often so different from just a few short years ago.

Bipolar Disorder Therapists
What is the most successful approach to treating bipolar disorder?
Living with bipolar disorder can be challenging, and a number of therapies have been found effective in providing support to patients as they gain the skills to understand and manage the disorder. Family-focused therapy is often helpful for children and teens (the majority of cases develop before age 19); it aims to minimize mood cycling by improving family communication and reducing conflict. It also helps young people navigate the developmental challenges the disorder can create. Cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) and variants such as Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)help patients manage the thoughts and feelings that influence bipolar mood swings as well as develop specific behavioral strategies to counteract them.
What happens in therapy for bipolar disorder?
Because the patterns of mood switching and its triggers differ for each person and can change over time, mood tracking or monitoring becomes a basic way patients learn about the nature of their condition. One of the most common features of therapy is finding a workable method of mood monitoring, in which patients track their daily activities and rate their moods, then use the findings to adjust routines accordingly. Patients learn ways of handling the many stresses that arise in life so that they do not trigger mood swings.
What kinds of problems does therapy help with?
Like many other mental health disorders, BPD is heavily influenced by stress; therapy provides skills for coping with stressors of all kinds. Therapy is extremely important for helping individuals identify the situations that may trigger mood switching, so that mood swings can be prevented. Therapy may especially target recognition of the early stages of mood change so that they can be managed. In addition, therapy helps patients deal with the significant amount of turbulence the disorder can create in relationships and in work life.
What is the goal of therapy for bipolar disorder?
Therapy helps patients set up their lives to maintain stability so that their mood isn’t constantly threatened by daily events. Perhaps the first task of therapy is to educate people about the nature of the disorder. At the same time, a primary goal of therapy is to enhance adherence to drug treatment. Extended periods of mood stability can prompt patients to discontinue medication, triggering relapse, while the early phases of manic episodes can feel so energizing that patients stop medication, ushering in full-blown mania and the altered self-perception that can lead to destructive behaviors. Another major goal of therapy is to understand one’s mood patterns so as to minimize both the frequency and intensity of mood cycling.
