My greatest privilege is helping people find healing and wholeness as they work through the negative effects woundedness and loss has had on their lives. It's through exploring what's behind the hurts & challenges that allows us to become empowered to live joyfully and successfully as the men and women we were created to be.

Whether you are college-age or retired, unexpected changes in life can crash upon us at any time. They can come in the form of losing a job, toxic relationships, or, unfortunately, the loss of a loved one. These changes can stir up emotions which ultimately affect our abilities to function healthily. If you are a Christian who is going through trials that is testing your faith, I can provide counseling from a biblical foundation. If you do not want this, and disregard religion, because of spiritual abuse or for other reasons, I understand and will accommodate.

I view counseling as discipleship where I come along side you to help you reach your personal hopes and goals for your life. I personally believe that trauma is a mind/body issue and look at therapy in a holistic manor. The things we struggle with today are often caused by past experiences and to find freedom, we need to address that past.

Life can be difficult at times and often we struggle to navigate those challenging times. Marriage and trauma difficulties, in particular, can be very personal and often leave us feeling extremely confused and lonely. As a therapist I use the Gottman Method Therapy and Emotion Focused Therapy to assist couples. I work with my clients to identify a specific cycle of conflict, identify and express personal longings, increase level of intimacy, and put trust/commitment back into relationships. I also use EMDR, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to explore, educate and empower those with trauma and each person I come in contact with.

I love working with individuals of all ages and struggles. I have been in the counseling field for over 25 years and enjoy the partnership of working together to find a solution. Throughout the years I have spent much time researching and attending trainings to learn how to best handle stress. Stress and trauma have a significant impact on our bodies and many traditional strategies may not work; if they don't, I use health, spirituality, and energy medicine to impact change. I focus on health and positive psychology. We work on new techniques right in the office. - Also providing clinical supervision for LLPCs.
