I work with adolescents, college students, and adults on a variety of issues while specializing in financial issues, men’s issues, and Christian counseling.
Life is difficult enough on its own, and everyday problems seem bigger when we have mental health struggles. Helping people uncover the root causes of their issues and bringing them to a resolution is my passion. I provide a safe and warm atmosphere where you feel free to discuss whatever struggles you are having. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, are having problems in relationships, experiencing symptoms from past traumas, or aren’t sure and need help sorting it out, we will create a plan together using your natural strengths to work you through your issues and get you where you want to go.

I bring both professional and lived experience as a stepdad, husband, & therapist to the table, and if faith is an important part of your relationship, I also offer Christian counseling.
Your relationship doesn’t feel the way you wish it did. Yes, you love each other, but it seems like you fight more often than you don’t these days. Neither of you feels like the other is listening, and you then get caught in cycles you can’t seem to break. Maybe it’s big stuff you’re disagreeing about—money, sex, or parenting—or something seemingly trivial that keeps tripping you up. Or perhaps the relationship you’re struggling with isn’t the one with your partner, but a parent or sibling. Whatever it is you’re facing, you both believe reconnection & repair is possible, and you’re ready to get the support you need to do that.

I felt called into the counseling field while working for a nonprofit as an advocate for human trafficking survivors. I have experience working with complex trauma survivors (sexual assault, domestic abuse, human trafficking, etc) helping them to become "unstuck" in their bodies and brains in order to heal naturally and resolve traumatic memories. I am passionate about helping trauma survivors heal through psychotherapy, and helping to educate the community about trauma informed care.

We want two things that are difficult to hold together. We want to belong to others, to feel connected to our people, our families, friends, loved ones, our culture. We also want to belong to ourselves. Our sense of autonomy, our freedom, to have room to move around in ways that feel natural to us. At the core, I help couples and individuals better manage the tension between these two needs. This takes a lot of courage, but you're far more capable than you know. Come and find out.

Are you unsettled with a super hero cape that is weighing you down? Do you look like you have it all together, but you're secretly dealing with issues? Are you the one that people turn to for help with their problems, but you are to afraid or embarrassed to ask for help yourself? It is very easy to become consumed with trying to have it all, pretending to be okay, and putting others first. Unfortunately, the sacrifice of neglecting yourself, carrying emotional baggage from unaddressed pain, trauma, anger, and unhappiness, can lead to you feeling depleted physically, financially and mentally.
