Self-worth. The common denominator is low self-concept and low self-esteem that was not established or through adversity, trauma, violence, and/or abuse was severely damaged. The client wants to end the emotional and psychological pain of existing. Connection, structure, and consistency are the tools that aid in healing. Living and thriving become possible when we add options and perspective.

I specialize in treating clients with chronic anxiety. So many of my clients struggle with things like uncertainty, chronic stress, overthinking, past trauma, and imposter syndrome. They may even have intrusive, unwanted thoughts or excessively worry and have repeated panic attacks. These things too often impair their relationships and prevent them from falling asleep at night. I use an evidenced-based treatment model to guide my clients overcome things like these and embrace their anxiety and develop a growth mindset so they can live their best lives.

Waitlist for new clients
My passion is helping people move from a life of surviving to thriving. Most of us have found a way to "get through," yet sometimes we find ourselves feeling unfulfilled and/or overwhelmed. I enjoy working with people who want to understand the root of their symptoms and then discover new ways of living that work better for them and their values. Often people coming through my door identify concerns such as people-pleasing, a history of dysfunction in their family growing up, religious or spiritual concerns, or difficulty adjusting after a transition.

Do you and your spouse constantly struggle with communication? Are you increasingly losing connection with him or her? Are your interactions becoming more negative? Has there been an affair? These are warning signs of a relationship in trouble and possibly on the road to failure. I specialize in helping couples identify and modify these unhealthy relational patterns and reconnect as a couple. For many couples, so much bitterness and resentment has built up, they initially feel their marriage is beyond help. However, if a couple will work through these emotions, seek forgiveness and learn new ways of interacting, they can begin to rebuild their relationship.
