Are you feeling stuck in a rut, depressed, angry or anxious more days than not? It's not a matter of willpower so please take the first step and stop beating yourself up! We were all created to be loving, connected, and balanced individuals and anytime we are not feeling that way it's because of our baggage. Professionally and personally, I have found that by combining IFS therapy with EMDR, many people are able to revisit painful experiences in a way that allows them to release feelings of terror, shame, and guilt and leave their baggage behind.

I am delighted to assist you in developing and using your inner strengths toward greater wellness and mastery in life. With vast experience in mental health, child welfare and the healthcare settings, my focus is on helping children, adolescents and adults increase their ability to manage depression and anxiety caused by extenuating life circumstances. For over 25 years, I have helped many people successfully confront serious medical diagnosis, death of loved-ones, abuse, family discord, and relationship issues. The best results are achieved with clients who are actively engaged in therapy and open to pursuing growth.

We all have within us the ability to solve our own problems. What we lack sometimes is direction. We must work to remove the challenges that have prevented us from enjoying life; heal the misconceptions and misinterpretations and develop a strong spiritual foundation and connection to the world around us. It takes courage to begin the journey and perseverance to move through the process of healing to accomplish your goals. My role includes providing a safe space to explore your life, help identify and remove any barriers to having a healthier existence.

My clinical experience includes working with clients regarding relationship conflict; depression; anxiety; parenting; teen concerns (i.e., Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder; Oppositional Defiant Disorder; suicidal ideation; abuse and neglect) and intervention services related to domestic violence, substance abuse, parenting, and anger management. I look forward to discussing how I can assist you and your family towards meaningful growth.

Are you ready to invest in yourself? You do know that you are worth it, right? As a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy for adults, couples and children, I understand the benefits of taking care of self.

Life is beautiful, and full of stressors, joy, heartache, and love. Life naturally brings a range of emotions out of us, and some are difficult to manage. While we may be accomplished “on paper”, there might be an inner struggle to keep it all together. For some, there is even embarrassment or wonder as to why their personal life cannot be as successful as their work life. I help women process and navigate these emotions and develop a deep self awareness that allows them to confidently and unapologetically walk in their greatness.

Life stressors can gravely impact significant areas of one's life such as Family, life Transtions, Academics and Relationships. Coping with and resolving these issues alone can sometimes prove to be challenging. You do not have to face it alone. Therapy can help to empower you to regain better control of your life. I understand that every client has individualized treatment needs,thus therapy is tailored as such to achieve maximum growth potential.

Are you overwhelmed with thoughts? Have you experienced heartache from your past and/or current experiences? Are you drowning in insecurities and self-doubt? It seems easier to keep everything buried inside, doesn't it? However, you and I both know that it isn't the healthiest way to cope. Christ did not intend for us to live in defeat but in victory (1 Corinthians 15:57)!
