Change is a constant in life, often catching us off guard and leaving us feeling out of sync.

Life throws us curve balls that seems hard to recover, but when you have someone and somewhere to support and guide you through, those curve balls turn into steps toward healing, a new journey and thus, a new outcome. I help clients work through life difficulties and changes and help you achieve what's important to you. I understand the significance of providing quality service and meeting the needs of those who put their trust in me. Your counseling experience will fit your needs, whether this means meeting you where you are in life, making services affordable or receiving counseling services through video and telephone sessions.

I help my clients discover the root causes of their presenting concerns, versus focusing on the surface thoughts and emotions. My areas of treatment focus include anxiety, depression, poor family relations, marital issues (including spousal infidelity or questions of divorce), employment and life transitions, grief and loss, abuse (mental, emotional, verbal and sexual) and spirituality. I utilize a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Systems Theory, and Biblical Principles to guide my clients in therapy. Beginning Aug. 2022, virtual appointments will be available on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month.

As a Marriage & Family Therapist, authenticity is key to who I am. I aim to cheer on your victories and, simultaneously, tackle the essential steps toward your goals.

No matter where we begin, my goal is to guide you in identifying the thought patterns and behaviors that block your path to who you want to become. Tailoring my approach to fit each person's unique needs is crucial to your therapeutic success.

Any client can work through the process of change, it just depends on the their readiness for change and ability to accept help. With this I feel that I can help people work through any issue, however my primary focus is in couples counseling, pre-marital counseling, divorce, and family counseling. I have extensive experience also working with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, spiritual counseling, substance abuse counseling, adjustment issues, and just every day struggles that any person may face during a stressful time in life.

You need to stop the emotional pain, get the help you need with your marriage, you relationships and your family. I can help you take control of your life, stop the turmoil, find purpose and happiness, so you can make clearer and healthier choices about your present and future, and not allow others to make those choices for you.

I believe that in the right environment without judgment can aid a person to begin the process of improving their intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships. With numerous years of counseling experience across a variety of treatment settings, I have utilized a variety of modalities (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused, Motivational Interviewing, and Rational Emotional Behavioral Therapy) that have allowed my clients the ability to maximize their potential.

Couples - Have you been working through your “stuff” but still finding yourselves in conflict? Do you KNOW it doesn’t have to be this hard but everything you try just ends in a fight anyway? I work exclusively with couples where both people have some insight into what they bring to the conflict and are psychologically-minded enough to know that it doesn’t have to be this hard. I'll help you identify patterns, develop alternative behaviors, and deeply connect; creating safe space for each of you to heal, grow, and find the support and compassion for yourself/each other to live a wholeheartedly conscious and fulfilling life together!

After our first session, most of my clients express feeling relief and hope. Later in therapy, they tell me that sessions have changed their lives in surprising ways, and that they have learned things about themselves they didn't know before. It's very important to me that therapy is useful and helpful. During our first session, we'll explore your goals and needs in therapy, and how you would like to feel better. At the end of our first hour together, you'll have someone on your side to help, and a plan to move forward. I look forward to connecting with you soon!

I don't believe in having an "ideal client," but rather subscribe to Irvin Yalom's idea that the client/clinician relationship is one of "fellow travelers." Therefore, I view it as my responsibility to meet the client where they are in order to begin a journey in which their needs and strengths indicate the direction of therapy. I create a space in which my diverse client-base is inspired to be as truthful and expressive as possible and in which we can begin to pay attention to the client's deepest voice. Moving toward feeling and through repression is crucial to my work, and I believe lasting growth begins here.

Life affects us all in a variety of ways, but it’s how we respond to those experiences that determine the type of person we are. Some of those experiences can be painful and traumatic. Truthfully, healing is painful as well, but what is most detrimental is holding on to that pain and trauma. Taking a step in your healing process takes courage. Being here on this page, shows that you’re taking that step towards internal peace and healing. Your experiences contribute to the layers of who you are, however, those layers don't have to become walls and they don't have to linger on in your everyday existence.

There may come a time when a person may get stuck in life or their relationship. Whether you experience difficulty coping with daily challenges, navigating through a troubled relationship or experiencing the aftermath of an ended relationship, managing conflict or inner turmoil can be difficult to navigate, causing you to question how to get from your place of pain to return to a place of inner peace and happiness. At such times, the need for a trained professional may be necessary to help you get from where you are to where you want to be. Trained by Dr. Twine, our therapists are here to help you with your counseling needs.

It is my highest priority to make sure each person feels welcomed and safe in an un-biased environment. My passion involves helping each individual reach their moment of empowerment through the therapeutic journey. If you have been struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, loss, navigating through major life changes, familial or interpersonal relationships etc., this is the perfect opportunity to gain back control of your life!
