Life can be challenging and painful. Medication and antibiotics may be needed to address significant infected physical wounds. The same process is needed to address infections of the Heart. Medication takes time to work. The healing process takes effort. It doesn’t come easy. There are no quick fixes. The right medications attack the root, which in turn, fixes the symptoms. What are some HEART medications needed to address psychological/emotional infections? Self-awareness, forgiveness, understanding/acceptance, renewal of the mind, purpose, connection and belonging!

Going to a counselor can be pretty frightening; my goal is to make it as comfortable as possible. I believe that we all need help at times to work through difficult issues in our lives. I count it a privilege to help clients with the stresses of life. Beginning therapy can be a big step toward being the healthiest version of yourself and living the best life possible-no matter what challenges you may be facing. Through therapy, you can change self-destructive behaviors and habits, resolve painful feelings, improve your relationships, and more.

Has life given you some lemons? Maybe copious amounts of gigantic lemons? Well, Im in the business of helping others make “lemonade”. I do this through counseling adult individuals. You are more than the lemon that led you to this website, so I want to see the big picture of your life and work together to get to a place where you have a healthy and peaceful relationship with your body, your past, and others. It won't be easy-peasy lemon-squeezy, but if you do the work, what was once sour will become sweet.

The secret suffering we all experience is rarely laid bare for one another, yet we know it's shared. Feedback that I have received is that I am "blunt, but with a heart." I respectfully and directly refer to and discuss the suffering and its sources. I have extensive experience working with youth and their families, include in my field of interest improving communication within couples, coping skills for individuals struggling with a variety of mental health and interpersonal issues, teach and facilitate effective communication through a Circle model, and focus always on a client's relationship with the self.

Hello, if you have a child who loves to play, and as their caregiver you’re trying to meet them in their play, you’re in the right place! Play provides a powerful way to connect and heal. I also seek to heal those impacted by trauma through the lens of EMDR therapy, attachment approaches, and sensory motor strategies.

My specialty has been working with adolescents and their families for close to 20 years regarding various issues that come up for both the teenager themselves and within the family system. My experience spans inpatient, residential, and community-based programs, as well as private practice. I believe that treating clients in these vastly different environments has enriched the quality of my work and my perspective on life. I use an integrative approach to therapy that is based on your unique strengths, individual needs, and circumstances.

Many people I meet with began therapy because life became overwhelming. People pleasing, perfectionism, and “holding it together” for everyone else left them at a loss. Hiding their imperfections and needs did not lead to better relationships, it actually led to more stress, worry, and feeling alone. I’ve sat with people who have difficulty knowing even the seemingly simplest things about themselves, like where they’d like to go to dinner, or what color looks good on them. All of this reflecting a deeper problem.

As a Doctor of Psychology, I'm honored to teach my clients how to be their own therapist. I work with my clients to acknowledge and understand the patterns of mind-body union (thinking, feeling, behaving patterns) that may be causing stagnation and pain. I teach clients the self-governance skills necessary to discipline the nervous system, manage thinking and feeling patterns, and direct behavioral outcomes to align with a desired / ideal version of self. The transformative nature of this work is evident in one's felt and lived daily experience.
