I work with adults using a variety of styles and techniques in a non-judgmental atmosphere, to incorporate what is most helpful and holistic. The areas that I have focused on the most with clients include life transitions, relationships, boundaries, communication, parenting, assertiveness, anxiety, depression, grief, goal setting, decision-making, career development, self-confidence, and trauma related concerns/disorders. I believe it is never too late to experience growth, healing, a sense of purpose, and feel a sense of connection to others and to your true self.

In my practice, I work with couples, individuals, and families utilizing methods from Emotionally Focused Therapy. This scientifically proven approach, developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, helps people understand and improve their emotional connection with themselves and others. Couples learn how to reconnect through listening, validation, and empathy. The EFT process, backed by research, enables couples, families, and individuals to create secure attachments, leading to improvements in depression and anxiety. I offer faith-based counseling in my practice according to my client's preferences.

You may have suffered greatly inside and contemplated making a change. When the time comes, the risk to remain tight in a bud can be more painful than the risk it takes to blossom.

I believe it is a true privilege to be able to help others work through some of their most difficult times in life. I see each person as having unique needs, dreams, strengths and challenges, and I know that working collaboratively with a client requires that I first understand and honor who that individual is. People seek therapy for a variety of reasons, and it is often a daunting task to find a therapist who is the right fit. I would love the opportunity to talk with you, so that you may decide if I am the right counselor for you.

We begin to feel lost and hopeless and ultimately believe that there is no way to escape, and perhaps you have accepted things this way."
