Mental health is essential to personal well-being, as well as, fundamental in living a fulfilled, meaningful life. I believe everyone has the ability to empower one’s self and break through barriers that have set them off course in their journey toward self acceptance and happiness. I treat clients with compassion, understanding, and believe everyone can change their patterns, tendencies and learned skills with a safe space to explore these patterns that have served a purpose at one point. At some point one may recognize change is needed and through therapy we can work together to work on helping you reach your goals.

I am most passionate to help entire families impacted by addiction; addicts and "adult children" in recovery seeking to rebuild their lives; persons seeking help in codependent relationships; premarital and marital couples seeking to enrich or restore their marriages; and overall persons who feel "stuck" in life and need assistance finding direction, excitement, and purpose. I have worked in the secular environment for my entire career. However, I am able to provide a biblical perspective for clients who desire such an orientation.

You don't have to live with the effects of trauma, it is like facing a nightmare alone. The reoccurring and disruptive reactions overwhelm you. The frequent mood swings, irritability and flashbacks are disrupting your life. Or you just feel something is wrong with your life but can't put a finger on it. You know drugs and alcohol are not the solution or made everything worse. You are starting to wonder if your negative thoughts and feelings will ever go away. With help they can. Seeking help from a therapist is scary. Finding someone you connect with and trust is hard. You are taking a giant step. But you are worth it.

Often times, we continue to see our past traumas show up in our present life through difficulties like trouble sleeping, anxiety, fear of trying new things, depression, and feeling “stuck”. Our therapists utilize EMDR to help move past those “stuck memories” while also improving a greater sense of self and hope for the future. Stressful events can become stuck in our memory networks and like a scratched CD, continue to replay over and over again. The emotional impact of the memories is re-experienced every time they are remembered, because the flight, fight or freeze response is continually being activated.

I have extensive experience working with children and adults. Most of the clients I provide service for have symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress and adjustment disorders. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focus, and Mindfulness Therapy .
