I am passionate about helping people who struggle with anxiety, depression, stress and relationship conflicts. Together we'll find a way for you to cope, adapt and take the next right steps each week. You can start making progress even when you are feeling stuck. Current situations and past trauma can seem overwhelming. Negative chaotic thoughts, feelings and behaviors take over. You'll learn how to manage worry, anger and hurt at home, work, or school over time. I offer warm, caring and non-judgmental support to face fears, grieve and find hope. We'll integrate the best mind-body-spirit tools and techniques until they work for you!
I counsel individuals, couples and families in life transitions, communications, rebuild trust and solve problems in relationships at home, work or school. Life transitions Treatment options: CBT, EMDR, Mindfulness, Narrative, Strengths Based, Solution Focused, Trauma Informed, Gottman couples. Intense therapy for crises. Christian counseling available.
Your healing journey will be unique to you! I invite you to explore possibilities and take the next right steps for you. It is my honor to offer my skills and experience to walk beside you and guide you through life's complicated and often traumatic experiences. Peace, love and joy are possible!

I start with CBT to explore your thoughts, feelings, actions and results in troubling situations. I frequently teach Mindfulness techniques for immediate relief to calm anxiety/panic and lift depression for issues that are accessible consciously. I use EMDR non-talk therapy to desensitize unconscious negative trigger scripts: eg trauma/PTSD of childhood, past accident, death of loved one, or rape.
