As one ages, one experiences the "Winds of Change". Some of us experience these changes in our lives one at a time, and others experience a world wind that may take our breath away. As a therapist that concentrates on Holistic remedies, I find that many of us are not able to handle all of the changes that may occur at one time, which may leave us feeling depressed and/or anxious. However, during this state of "change" is it actually depression and/or anxiety... or is it a result of what has or is occurring in our lives?

Does time heal all? I know we like to think so but unfortunately, it doesn’t always work out that way. Some of us carry our trauma from the past, along the burdens of daily life. Some of us have had recent experiences that are making us feel lost and unsure of the direction we are heading in. Some of us struggle with the families we were born into or the family we’ve created. As humans, we are all searching for guidance, empathy, emotional connections, and someone to listen to our stories. We aspire to achieve our goals, follow our dreams, resolve our issues, and heal our emotional wounds.

I have a relational approach that fosters a mix of warmth & acceptance along with clinical clarity and positive outcomes. My focus and understanding is that the "The therapist can only take someone as far as they have been themselves." So I understand the stuck place you are in with your marriage, your personal life, the desperation and hurt, feeling lost and alone and the journey needed for optimal healing/health. I will personally walk with you and your family to care and provide real change that actually lasts! Finally, Our Team approach at Tree of Life is extensive and exemplary...

Experiencing parenting issues, anxiety and/or depression, I can help you and/or your family work things out and get to a better place.

I have worked in a variety of settings with Clients and populations providing specialty services in managing everyday challenges, life changes, mental health conditions, etc. I believe in taking a collaborative, holistic, and cognitive approach to counseling, but specifically to what fits the Client’s needs to help alleviate any discrepancies, increase motivation, and find purpose and balance in their life during a journey to self-healing.

Life transitions are a part of our journey and, while some are rewarding, some are a challenge. Whether you are struggling with something personally or professionally, you could benefit from working with a therapist who understands and can help guide you through the work to initiate change in your life.

I encourage my clients to start with small steps and move toward what speaks to their heart and their values.

Are there any deep disappointments lingering within you? Do you feel alone, unlovable or misunderstood? Are you struggling with your child, spouse or any other relationship? Life issues and disappointments are heavy burdens to bear alone. Thoughts and feelings of unworthiness and/or rejection were never meant for you. And, it takes a village to grow a family. These life-matters were meant to be lived with others, disappointments were meant to be shared, and not good enough feelings were meant to be challenged. Would you consider help? Would you let me be that person for you, your child or adolescent in this season?

I work with a lot of men who are balancing work and relationships. I see clients who are overwhelmed in their jobs, frustrated with demands coming from so many people and places. Sometimes a partner insists on the need for counseling! Kids,teens, or even adult children can be a source of stress. And then there are the teens I see whose home-life, school, or relationship pressures stress them out. Others are in the second half of life, or may be feeling the pain of divorce or loss. There is definitely hope! I’ll work with you as you need it, giving you a space to talk about things you’re facing in your life, and offering coaching.

I treat those struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, anger, trauma, grief, self-esteem and self-confidence issues, adjustment issues, relationship and family issues, social and communication skills, OCD, school and occupational problems, and ADHD. Through empathy, I strive to understand each client's specific context and unique perspective, and view each counseling relationship as a collaborative endeavor. My personal, educational, and professional life experiences have provided me with a strong foundation of patience and compassion, along with critical knowledge and skills needed to effectively help my clients.

It can be challenging to want to make a change, invest in yourself, try to view your life without judgment, and having no idea where to start. Truth be told, you don't need to know where to start, just that you want something to be different.

My role is to challenge you when you’re stuck and keep you accountable, providing education and practical skills to use in daily life, and support you through the discomfort of change and vulnerability - and to celebrate the successes that follow.
