Other areas of specialization: support to ministry families, relationship concerns, marriage and family issues, major life cycle transitions, unexpected events, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, grief, abandonment, loss, abuse and trauma, self esteem, career issues, and spirituality.
I have been investing in individuals and families for over 20 years. I am passionate about impacting lives, partnering with others, and equipping those I serve to live a life of vitality. Seeking relief, healing, and change is usually very personal. It isn't something you do every day. Most of us seek more support when we are feeling stuck or even overwhelmed. When we meet, we will talk about the challenges that brought you to my office, and we will work together to tailor sessions to meet your hopes, goals and personal needs.

Are you feeling paralyzed, overwhelmed, anxious or sad because of the loss of a loved one? The loss of a job? The loss of a relationship? The loss of the way your world once was? Are you wondering how you are going to rebuild a life for yourself but you just don't know who to talk to or where to turn? Life can be more than survival. Learn to live and engage again in life. Learn to overcome the sorrow you live with everyday. Learn to deal with the triggers of sadness and despair that may appear from nowhere.

My focus is on assisting couples and adult families through challenging relationship conflict, losses, or traumatic experience.
When life has dealt some hard blows, when we feel adrift or our lives are in transition; when we can't seem to get past irritations, annoyances, or injuries in relationships that used to be loving and secure; when sadness, fear, or anxiety are barriers to living the life we want for ourselves and those we love; or when unforeseen trauma, divorce, or family conflict adversely affect our children, we may need help in finding ways to get around, through,or over these barriers.

I specialize in treating clients who are struggling with multiple addictions, mood regulation, trauma, behavioral, and relational issues. Many of my clients report struggling with trying to fill a void, feeling lost, or stuck. This may show up as some sort of unhealthy coping mechanism such as an addiction, unhealthy relationships, or a behavioral issue. Only temporary relief may be found until the true underlying issues are addressed. Together we can uncover what is underneath your struggles and address what we find. Facing underlying trauma while concurrently looking at the presenting issues is what I do

In Buddhist philosophy, "pain is inevitable, suffering is optional." The story of the Buddha and the two arrows explains this well – while the first arrow may cause physical or emotional pain, the second arrow is one’s reaction to it – the self-talk, the self-blame, and negative thoughts that amplify the pain. Counseling can help you put down the second arrow and transform your suffering into growth, learning and resilience.

Relationship Issues Therapists
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.
