Inasmuch as we all face suffering in various forms throughout our lives, the good news is that there is hope for healing, and we don't have to go it alone. If you are experiencing grief, anxiety, depression, marital, relationship, and/or parenting issues, the effects of trauma, loneliness, addictive/compulsive behaviors, are struggling with a life transition or with pastoral/leadership challenges, are desiring support in your spiritual journey, or perhaps are simply unsure of where to turn, I would be grateful for the opportunity to journey with you toward the abundant life you were created for in Christ (Jn 10:10).

Nobody should have to suffer alone. I have 18 years of clinical experience as a therapist. I work primarily with adults and teens. I utilize a combination of Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, as well as Mindfulness and Meditation in my practice.

Experiencing unexplained sources of anxiety, and not understanding out own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can be really scary. Not being able to understand or effectively communicate with your child can be even scarier. If you are an overwhelmed parent of a child or adolescent who is experiencing difficulties such as anxiety, depression, anger, explosive emotion, isolation, self-harm, or identity confusion, or you yourself are struggling to understand your own thoughts, feelings, or sexual/gender identity, I may be the right fit for you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and an EMDR Certified therapist and use a strengths-based approach to therapy. I believe that the healing power of an empathic relationship provides a safe space for an individual to safely explore their values and the ways in which they make meaning out of their experiences and interact with the world. It is within this exploration that individuals can begin to dislodge from stuck patterns and make choices that are in line with their values so they can live out their life in an intentional way.

As stated by Brené Brown "Many of us are willing to extend a helping hand, but we're very reluctant to reach out for help when we need it ourselves". I've heard many people echo these same thoughts in regards to their mental health. When we try not to "burden" others, or are fearful of seeming "weak", or ignore our feelings it can become unbearable and lead us to feeling stuck. Everyone can use a helping hand at times, and therapy can be used as a safe place to figure out your next step.

I aim to provide an empathic, relaxed, and secure therapeutic space where you feel safe to freely explore your inner world and take risks in the outside world. One may have relationship difficulties, be depressed or anxious, experience trauma, or just feel incomplete and want to expand their self-development. Some people's everyday coping strategies stop working as well as they once did. Others may find themselves repeating distressing patterns in their lives or feeling something's wrong, unable to verbalize or comprehend their pain. We will work together to make sense of your experience through insight and emotional understanding.
