Underneath our unhealthy crutches can be anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or attachments that hinder growth and healthy relationships.
Do you feel stuck in your life or do you see your child struggling in theirs? Do you keep trying to find new ways to navigate your life or relationships but find yourself repeating the same cycles and struggling to move forward? If you are looking to make personal changes or think your teen could benefit from some therapeutic support, I'd like to be there to help with that process. Change isn't easy and sometimes people need someone that is outside of their daily world to share thoughts, feelings and problems with in order to gain insight about themselves and help them reach their goals. I'd like to be that person for you.

For many people, faith is an integral part of their sense of wholeness and important when seeking help and healing. For clients who feel that way, I integrate faith and biblical truths into the experience of psychotherapy. Difficulties with relationships, depression, anxiety, life transitions, illness, a history of trauma or grief are some of the things that can bring people into counseling. But regardless the struggle, the integration of scientifically evidence-based practices alongside faith belief systems offer a holistic approach to therapy that many clients appreciate.

Resiliency...this is the most powerful quality of the human spirit. I work with clients to help them realize and expand upon this quality. I have been in the mental health field since 1998. My career has given me the opportunity to work with children, adolescents, and adults in every imaginable setting (e.g., private practice, clinics, inpatient, outpatient, outdoor therapy, HIV/AIDS, incarceration, foster care, addiction). My education, clients, and experiences have given me a wealth of understanding that I am thankful to be able to bring into my private practice.

As a mental health counselor, my goal is to help you make the changes you need in order to have a more successful and satisfying life. In our work together, we will explore what’s holding you back and break down those barriers to assist you in reaching your goals. Often, those barriers are due to past painful experiences, and I will work with you to compassionately facilitate your healing from those events.

Grief Therapists
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
