There are lots of young adults tired of struggling with feelings associated around anxiety, so I offer talk therapy to help you find positive ways to reduce those negative emotions. I have helped hundreds of young adults through the therapeutic process to identify the root of their dis-ease by processing those experiences and challenges that you face, so you can live a life filled with peace, calm, wholeness and hope. I also offer Christian Counseling for couples who are struggling in their marriages due to the state of our nation.

The decision to engage a therapist is deeply personal and may seem challenging. It is a unique relationship, where ideally, you can be in a safe, empathic environment and talk to someone with in depth psychological training and significant life experience. I offer both to my clients, treating individuals, couples, children, adolescents and families. These relationships have led me to focus on the treatment of: anxiety, depression, relational communications, work place stressors, substance use/abuse, attachment disorders, emotional regulation issues, self image, family systems, ADHD, grief and loss, parenting, obsessive/compulsive behaviors, impulse control, mood disorders and relational conflicts.

For me, being a therapist is much more than a job—it's a calling. My own experiences with behavioral health challenges have given me a unique perspective and a deep empathy for those facing similar struggles. I see my role as not just a clinician, but as a facilitator of healing. I'm here to help if you are willing to do some work.

You feel trapped somewhere between feeling like a kid and being an adult. While you may be working, in relationships, or managing certain aspects of life, you feel like you are chronically “faking it til you make it”. You find yourself imagining a life that feels more in control, but wonder how do I get there? You may not feel like you have all the answers, but what you do know is that you want to figure it out.

Sometimes life's challenges and personal struggles can't be overcome alone. Friends are wonderful for support; however, they aren't always equipped to guide us to the best solutions or self fulfillment that we inherently desire. My therapeutic approach involves both long and short term therapy to uncover hidden obstacles that may be hindering personal growth or healing. Together we can find strategies and tools to build upon the strengths and abilities that, perhaps, have been buried or are yet to be discovered.
