Hello! I know sometimes the most difficult part of beginning the counseling process is finding a caring and compassionate counselor with whom you can connect. Look no further. Stressors such as financial worries, family, relationship, or work concerns, and chronic pain or illness are just a few struggles that may change behavior and mood. I strive to create a warm, helpful, non-judgmental environment in which you will feel safe, supported, and heard.

I strive to accompany each client on their journey to a place of personal freedom that allows for deeper healing, developing meaning-making, and trusting relationships. I am passionate about cultivating a space where individuals, couples, and families feel heard and understood in the therapy room.

When human beings experience trauma or severe life stressors, it is not uncommon for their lives to unravel. Often we seek therapy when the support systems we have and the ways of coping that we normally use are not enough. Perhaps you have noticed changes in how you sleep, your appetite, mood, or how you engage with your world. A variety of paths lead us to struggle and we all have times in our lives when we need a little more or a little different support. Finding a therapist who is a good fit for you can be a helpful part in regaining balance.

Christian Counseling with an Open Bible. Intrusive negative thoughts, shame and guilt from past decisions, and the lack of clarity about your God-given purpose can be devastating. Emotional breakdowns, increased stress, and sleepless nights become the new norm as you fight to quiet down or chase away the persistent inner thoughts/voices. It's down-right SCARY as uncontrollable anxiety and spiritual uncertainty set in, leaving you to wonder, “Where is God?” “Why is this happening to me?” and crying out, “I just want it to stop!” When positive self-talk, distraction, and deep breathing are not working you need something else.

It is important to talk through the different therapy strategies with a client to determine what suits them and meets their expectations of treatment. I like using different modalities of treatment (like Dialectical Behavioral Treatment, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Client-Centered Interventions) and feel it is important to educate the client on these options so they can decide on what will work well for them. Regardless of the treatment modality they choose, setting realistic treatment goals is so important and will allow clients to see change as they work through treatment.

My philosophy towards therapy and, being a therapist,can be put this way.You can create positive change in your life. You can overcome difficult and even seemingly overwhelming obstacles. The first step is to believe that you are worthy of a better life no matter what the present situation tells you. The next step is to accept that, 'Life is a Journey'. I think there is incredible wisdom and hope in those words; a journey is on-going, and, life gives you opportunities to change as you choose! Sometimes we just need a little help figuring out how to start.
