I believe the process of therapy will help you clarify your feelings, understand yourself and others, explore options, and make changes in your life. My orientation as a therapist is both psychodynamic and interactive--gaining an understanding of your past to enhance your future. I consider self-knowledge and self-acceptance the best ways to overcome challenges encountered throughout life. Therapy should be tailored to a client's needs as no two people are alike, therefore I employ a variety of theories, techniques, and practices which customize treatment to the uniqueness of each individual.

I have a passion to journey with couples who seek to restore love and trust in their life and in their relationship(s). When we experience violations to our sense of identity and safety we experience real pain and confusion. It is possible for all of us to find peace and be grounded in the truth of who we are, and discover new ways to act within our daily life and decision making. I especially have an interest in journeying with couples struggling with communication (i.e. decision making), passion and attachment, intimacy, life transitions, and conflict (i.e. anger, shame, control, infidelity, addiction, trauma).

**I AM NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME** I believe it takes a special kind of strength to ask for help, and as a therapist, my job is to make the process as smooth as possible. I feel confident in my ability to create a safe and welcoming environment conducive to change that will make therapy efficient and effective. I have been working in the mental health field for over ten years, and utilize a kind, strengths-based approach with my clients.

We all feel a little lost at times. This can have a negative impact on our relationships & individual lives. I work with adult individuals and couples and offer a safe space to work on creating an environment for positive change. Together, we can sort through your struggles and work to make progress on life adjustments and transitions. This progress can involve learning to manage stress, anxiety and depression. If you are looking to address problems in your marriage or relationship (infidelity, trust, communication, intimacy, and sex), I offer you space for working to understand what is happening and use tools to improve.

Significant disconnection and shame are intense and unfortunately common experiences people are struggling with. Sometimes, our emotions or body sensations feel intense or overwhelming. This pain may lead us to act in ways that are against our values or desires. Perhaps we act out sexually, eat excessively, or are avoidant of relationships. Regardless, these behaviors often further our loss of control, distress, hurt, and low self-esteem.

I often hear people ask, "why did I wait so long to seek counseling?" Although making the decision to begin counseling FEELS intimidating, the truth is that it can be a very helpful step in managing some of the difficulties of life. Are you experiencing thoughts, emotions or behaviors that are impacting your daily life or affecting your relationships with others? I can help you work through these challenges and I am available to listen, support and guide you in developing a plan to move forward.

I am a very down to earth, “let’s get real” type of human and trauma therapist. I work with clients ages 15+ to overcome thoughts, behaviors and feelings related to trauma from experiencing physical, sexual, emotional, psychological, financial, infidelity, and military trauma among others. My style tends to be very real. I don’t shy away from anger, cuss words, or sensitive subjects. I believe therapy sessions make more progress if we have a great rapport so that you can be your authentic self without feeling like you have to sensor yourself. I specialize in EMDR, prolonged exposure, narrative, and other trauma-specific therapies.

The clients that present to our practice are interested in receiving counseling from a Christian worldview and biblical foundation. They understand that the wisdom of man is limited and that apart from God, we can do nothing.

At one time or another, we all find ourselves stuck. We end up burdened by depression, loss, or anxiety. Our relationships become mired in conflict and disconnection. We feel the life we want is out of reach. As a therapist, my goal is to help you get unstuck and step into the life you want. I provide therapy to individuals and couples that is engaging, caring, practical, and applicable to your life and goals. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, and life transition issues. I also have training and experience supporting clients with issues related to spirituality or purpose.

I am a social worker who specializes in couples and sexual-related issues. I do a lot of work with couples around infidelity, trust and sexual issues. I spend much time helping couples overcome the aftermath of affairs and help lead them to a better relationship than they previously had. I also work with individuals with problems like depression, anxiety and loss. I do my sessions exclusively by video and phone and have done teletherapy for about five years. My style is very casual and thoughtful. And I have become very adept at doing teletherapy. I find that most of my clients prefer this format.

Most of us want to live life more fully and connected, but more often than not, stress, loss, disappointment, and unexpected transitions disconnect us from the life we want. I am passionate about helping clients find the tools to repair relationships, navigate difficult times, and find their way back to a place of comfort and satisfaction. As an affirming, open-minded, and curious therapist, I see each person as unique. I work with clients to discover their own individual path to the change and growth they desire. I work with individuals, couples, and families.
