I love using Narrative and EFT modalities.
What courage it takes for you to just be here. Welcome. And thank you for taking this step. Life is challenging and my belief is that even with a little help, you can overcome those challenges and function at your best. The past can be your teacher, and time your healer. My belief is that when we stop fighting the past or our present hardships is when we can THRIVE. I will meet you where you are. We can go from there.

I especially enjoy working with couples as they navigate stuck patterns of disconnection. For individuals my primary focus is usually with anxiety and parenting. Clients who come to me often want a clearer understanding of their emotional experiences and relationship patterns.

I typically work with adolescents and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, life changes, self-esteem, and balancing the ups and downs of life.

I am certified in EMDR, CTTS, DBT, and have advanced training in EFT.
My work with clients for over 29 years has allowed me to be part of a special journey with each person, couple, and family. My experience in serving as a psychotherapist, with multiple ages, socioeconomic, and culturally diverse clients has allowed me to learn how clients have needs and life goals, which are part of their life journey. I work with clients to identify who is writing their story in positive and adverse ways, which causes them to be 'stuck', wounded, or lost. During the therapy process, we explore skills and/or deep healing to assist them in moving toward healthier experiences, relationships, and living with purpose.

How long has it been since you felt at peace in your life....in your family...in your relationships...in yourself? We chose an olive leaf as our logo because and olive leaf symbolizes peace, and we believe that peace comes by nurturing healthy relationship connections. Maybe you have a difficult child, teen, spouse or extended family member. You want peace in that relationship, and you wake up every morning hoping things will be better....but the same unhealthy patterns happen again and again. You are exhausted from searching for ways to stop the behavior, which only causes more tension in the relationship.

What's up! I'm love working with young adults and individuals who are going through big changes: sorting out their identity, new job/college experiences, shifts in relationship or religious beliefs. I also work with those who've experienced religious trauma, had adverse religious experiences, or experienced spiritual abuse. I won't ask clients to go where I haven't been myself: I've been doing my own healing in these areas over the years as well. It’s such an honor to work with courageous people who want to figure themselves out, so they can figure out where they'd like to go!

It is a challenging experience to find a therapist. It is challenging because you have to be brave enough to seek therapy even though there is stigma, fear, and doubt that you may hear from others or even your own mind that says to not try. To further make it challenging, you may have a lengthier search finding a therapist who fits with you personally after coming up with the courage to even meet with one. So I'd like to thank you for seeking therapy in general and also thank you for allowing me to share some details of my practice so that you might consider us working together.

I’m motivated by the potential I see in clients. Everyone has the opportunity to heal and the choice whether to start their healing journey. Healing allows people to live richer lives with more self-awareness and the ability to withstand difficulties by building emotional resilience. A phrase, words, or even positive moments have the ability to create a ripple effect in people’s lives. What matters the most to me is if I can help in any way and offer hope to people. No matter how long a client stays for treatment, as long as they walk away with something positive that helps them in healing, then I’ve done my part.
