I have spent many years in community mental health developing an array of interventions and therapy techniques to work with mood disorders, relational conflict, family issues, and traumatic experiences.
Therapy is a process and for that you need a good partner. I like to look at the postitive side of psychology and help people see in them what is already there. People come to therapy for so many different reasons and it is my goal as a clinician to act as a guide for them to reach their goals.

Are you feeling set-off by everything, easily triggered, and frustrated with everyone? Maybe it’s the opposite - you feel lonely, sad, and no one loves you. You’re tired of fighting, and you’re exhausted by all the critical comments. You want to feel supported, cared for, and accepted by your friends and family. You need others to understand “It’s not the same” and “I am not you!” You need someone to HEAR you!

I enjoy working with people on: anxiety, depression, couple/ family issues, and addictions (treatment of opiate, marijuana, and sex addictions are my specialties).
Talking (and listening!) are good ways to solve problems. People have been doing this for centuries, but few do it well. That's where I come in. My listening skills are fine-tuned, and I can help you to find where your blind spots are, if any, as well as help you brainstorm solutions to the struggles you are facing. I come from a Christian perspective, but I do not preach at people. I also come from a perspective that says there is always hope. That hope may not be visible yet, but it is there.

Let’s build together! I work with ages 11-75 on depression, anxiety, ADHD, family conflict, relationship problems, LBGTQ and many other areas.
From a young age I wanted to be a therapist. My goal is to be the therapist that I needed as a child and an adult. Someone who would not only listen but really hear me, would be able to relate to me, offer skills, guidance and support to help me learn how to improve all areas of my life. Let me help you find the skills, knowledge and support you need to improve your relationships, your responses, your understanding to reach success in your life. We will create a treatment plan together to help guide you to reach your goals. Setbacks happen, nobody is perfect. When they do happen, we will work through and figure out ways to modify.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
