How many hours have you spent on the internet and telling your family that it was for work or for school when it was porn? How many times have you told yourself that you would quit or at least cut down? You do not have to wait until your family finds out before you reach out for help. Pornography addiction can be as real as drug addiction and it can ruin relationships and even get you fired. Partners often see the use of porn as cheating, even if you do not.

Sometimes you don't really know what you have until you almost lose it. Sexual issues can cause you to lose relationships, jobs, and sometimes, your freedom. You never meant to hurt anyone and so often, things get out of control. The constant worry that someone will find out about your sexual behavior is exhausting. What would be like to live a life with no secrets?

I am a licensed Marriage Family Therapist. I believe the main goal of therapy is healing, change, and growth; not criticism and condemnation. Therapy is most effective in an accepting, confidential atmosphere where there is mutual exploration of the issues and challenges of life in our complex world. Perhaps we need a new perspective in our way of thinking and our way of behaving in order to more effectively make our way through life's obstacles. Effective therapy is both educational and introspective. I offers faith/Christian based counseling upon request.

After more than 30 years as an educator, minister, counselor, and consultant; I realized that the one thing I am most passionate about is working one-on-one with others – watching them discover clarity, restoration, hope, and passion. This is the single endeavor where I get to bring all that I am to all that I do. A former tenured professor of clinical and organizational psychology at Vanguard University, I taught graduate courses such as Psychosocial Stressors and Mental Health; Psychology, Theology, and Spirituality; Career Development; Behavior and Psychology in Organizations. I still teach at Concordia University.

Imagine feeling lighter, more confident, more self-supportive and more self-loving. I've helped hundreds of clients achieve this, many starting from a place of despair and incredible anxiety. It is possible to enjoy and celebrate this life! Our work together would be about getting to the heart of the issues, putting some healing there and freeing you up to be more present and available - more of who you truly are. We would utilize Cognitive Behavioral, Emotionally Focused, Trauma Informed and Spiritual Psychology methods, as well as EMDR and Integrative Nutritional Counseling. I also love working with children and teens.

Life can be overwhelming, especially when faced with women's issues such as anxiety, postpartum struggles, or navigating the unique role of being a new parent. If you’re feeling lost, exhausted, or simply in need of a compassionate guide, you’re not alone. There is hope, & you deserve to find peace & balance. As a mother of two myself, I understand firsthand the joys & struggles of starting a family & adapting to new roles. It's finally time to show up as your vulnerable self, so that eventually you can feel confident being the woman you were always meant to be.

You don’t have to go it alone. I am here to help you find your way back to living the life you want. It can happen. I'm here every step of the way. Because sometimes, things don’t turn out the way we planned. We didn’t know we would end up getting divorced, or blending families, or being a single parent, but here we are. We didn’t know we would adopt instead of birthing our own child, or be raising our grandchildren, or the difficulties we would face raising children in an LGBTQ home. But, here we are. These challenges can cause tremendous anxiety, depression, anger, guilt, confusion, sadness, and suffering. I understand.

I support couples who want to work hard to have the relationship they desire, but struggle to stop the conflict and find connection. If you struggle to communicate with your partner, don’t really feel heard or seen, wonder why your partner can incite such big and intense emotions in you, or feel more connected to other people in your life than to your partner, I would love to support. If you think “If only my partner would…then we could be happy” or “We used to be able to work things out, but now we get angry over the smallest, most insignificant things. It’s exhausting.” or “How did we get HERE?”, then you are in the right place.
