"No one understands what I'm going through!" Do you feel this way? Many times, when we experience crisis or stress, it is very normal to feel like no one understands. My goal is to serve those who struggle with Trauma, Personality Disorders, Depression, Anxiety, and other Emotional Disorders. I believe trauma whether one time incident or ongoing incidents can be the root cause to other mental health issues. That is why my treatment plans are unique to each individual and their specific issues and circumstances. My philosophy is that anyone can overcome anything, with the right help.

Do you struggle with behavior patterns that you just can't seem to change? Do you want your life different but have no idea how to get there? All of us experience difficulties in life. Emerging from those challenges and learning from them is what's important. But it can also feel daunting without the support of someone who will walk with you through the pain and healing. I will guide you in letting go of control and finding your joy in life. You will find a new appreciation for yourself and others as you skip down the road of life.

Most of my clients are recovering from a loss of some sort. I see children of divorcing parents, people with grief issues, anxiety and depression, as well as parent/child relationship problems. I work with children ages 6 and up as well as teens and adults. I understand the issues related to logical behavior as opposed to trauma-related responses. Helping you understand your own behaviors is key to making changes in your life. My style is low-key and compassionate. Whether you need occasional guidance for a temporary problem or intense counseling for a complex childhood, I can help.

I believe that each person's spiritual, emotional, and physical qualities are connected in such a way that a problem in one area affects the others. My experience with couples and individual adults includes addressing issues of anxiety, addiction and codependency, grief and loss, healing from divorce, boundaries, stress management, relationships, and communication issues. I also have experience in helping with relationships dealing with sex or porn addiction - working with the wife or the husband, or both together.

"The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it." Having this belief in mind I have learned to help my client's focus on how they want their lives to be different in the future, rather than on what went wrong in the past. I focus on empowering clients to find their own solutions to life's difficulties. My clinical interventions are guided by Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive and Reality Therapy. My area of specialty is addiction, mood disorder, and relationship concerns. My interventions are guided by compassion, integrity, persistence, excellence, and respect.
