Hello! Perhaps you are searching Psychology Today for a loved one or for yourself, or simply to acquaint yourself with counseling. I commend for exploring your options. I have over nine years of experience providing therapy for a variety of issues. When clients begin therapy, many of them are searching for a space to fully express themselves and to process their struggles. Many are looking for a safe person to confide in without feeling judged. My hope is that you find that here and begin to identify ways to move forward.

Do you feel depressed, anxious, angry, or overwhelmed? Going through relationship problems? Experiencing trauma? Life is too short for that! My goal is to guide you through any obstacles you may be experiencing and get you to where you are finding meaning and purpose in your career, family, friendships, and all other areas of life.
Are you looking for someone who is real and authentic to talk to? It's rumored that therapy is typically a one-sided conversation that offers few chances for genuine interaction between the client and the counselor. That is not me! I am that counselor that will offer you a personal connection in order to facilitate growth and healing. My goal is to offer you support and guidance in whatever life situations you are experiencing.

I work with individuals experiencing chronic stress either from previous or current circumstances. Problems may relate to loss or trauma. There may be relationship or family conflict. Problems may exist in the work place or arise after retirement. A person may be having health problem or facing death. Decision-making and problem solving may be difficult. Feelings of fear, worry and even panic may exist. Depression may be setting in. Our struggles vary and change over time. Is your struggle lasting too long. Do you feel stuck and unable to move forward? Are you getting tired of the struggle? Don't ever give up

For 20+ years, I have counseled individuals, couples, and families, served as youth pastor, marriage/family counselor, worked within in-patient and out-patient treatment centers, probate/drug courts, and psychiatric hospital settings.
Life can be tough, with it's many challenges, distractions, and unpredictable tragedies and disappointments. Fortunately, you don't have to face them alone. I believe that through strategic planning, new learned coping skills, and spiritual guidance, personal and relational healing is possible. I love working with couples, but believe that even one person can make a difference in the condition of a relationship as they learn better ways to communicate and deal with their own issues.

I find it a privilege to have the opportunity to assist you, your child, your family, or your relationship.
Howdy! The techniques I utilize are from the foundations of Person Centered and Solution Focused Theory with some art therapy mixed in (if you are comfortable with experimenting with creative therapy). To begin, we will discuss what goals you would like to accomplish during our time together. My philosophy of therapy is, I feel you are the authority in your life and therapy can be a catalyst to identify barriers keeping you from achieving goals. We join together as a team to process, help identify goals, and strategize in making the positive change you would like to see in your life.

If you find your child to be struggling, let's work together to create an environment and build a toolkit where your child and family can thrive.
Does your child or teen struggle behaviorally or to regulate their emotions? Do you at times feel like they are bouncing off the walls and unable to maintain focus? Have you gotten a phone call home from school about concerns related to your child? Maybe you have noticed an increase in anxiety or depression. Or their social skills are limiting their friendships creating a negative school experience. Being a child and teen in our day and age can be extremely challenging as they face heightened emotions, social media expectations, academic challenges, sports pressures and more.

I work especially with patients who need counseling for bipolar, marriage counseling, unresolved anger, grief, divorce, fear, anxiety, depression, OCD and family/relationship issues.
Problems in life can cause people to stain their future with hopelessness. I love to help people see how their present problems associate with issues from their past while we work on establishing a new future with healthy thinking processes and hope. Therapy can help you control your emotions while reacting to problems, redirect issues in relationships that have gotten off-track, establish boundaries, increase your self-esteem and focus on a positive future.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
