Do you find that you don’t respond to stress the way you want to? You try to cope, but don’t have enough tools in the toolbox? Are you dealing with relationship stress? Or maybe struggling with unwanted habits? It’s common to find ourselves here at various points in our lives and it’s hard. What would it be like to feel calmer and stronger? To be able to look at situations without being clouded by past experiences. To be better able to make choices?

Things may not turn out the way we think they should be. Situations outside of our control occur and can knock us off of our feet. Relationships can be difficult to navigate. Whether it be from past familial trauma, current familial issues, work burnout, chronic diagnoses or terminal illness, issues within the relationship, the struggles of parenting (especially special needs children), traumatic birth experiences, or life transitions, I am here to help you navigate through all of this and more.

I help teens, individuals, and families in the areas of depression, grief, anxiety, guilt and family systems. I primarily focus my work with minority populations including the LGBTQ+ community as well as cultural and ethnic minorities; however, I do not work exclusively with minorities, and any prospective client is welcome to inquire. In our work, I like going beyond being an informed and accepting therapist; it's important to me to embrace your uniqueness, respect your journey, and celebrate your success. My clients report that I challenge them and introduce new perspectives resulting in a greater sense of healing.

I serve successful, highly-motivated professionals who find that certain areas of life are becoming unmanageable. I am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) and Certified Partner Trauma Therapist (CPTT) specializing in sex/porn addictions, partners of sex addicts, multiple addictions, trauma, abuse, and PTSD. I trained under Patrick Carnes at the International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP). I have an advanced certificate in trauma-focused narrative therapy. Addiction, abuse and trauma are viewed as symptoms not defining characteristics. Recovery embraces positive, proactive, sustainable change.

It takes great courage to choose to come to counseling, to mindfully consider what it is that's contributing to your pain, suffering, or hardship. We as people all experience hardship, and each of us develop a narrative to account for it - how we make sense of the world. My role as a counselor is to come alongside you, to identify and work towards your goals together. Through the process of counseling you not only work to decrease symptoms, but to live a life congruent with your values, to be well. Whether you experience depression, anxiety, or some other barrier I consider it a privilege to walk with you in this journey.

I was trained in hypnotism at Southern Institute of Hypnosis, licensed by the State of Arkansas; Mottin and Johnson Institute of Hypnosis. I am certified by the National Guild of Hypnotists as a Certified Hypnosis Instructor. I have a B.S. in psychology, an M.R.C. in counseling, and an Ed. S. in counseling and psychometric testing. I am a Certified Member of the National Guild of Hypnotists. The National Guild of Hypnotists is the oldest and largest hypnotism organization in the world. Its certification is the most widely recognized credential for the professional practice of the hypnotic arts.

Change is about hope, about effort, about personal growth. My goal as I work with clients is to help facilitate that effort as they strive for the growth they desire. I believe change occurs by awareness and establishing one's authentic vision of who they wish to be--as an individual, a parent, a partner, a friend. I work collaboratively with clients to help them bring about positive changes in their lives that make sense to them, according to their personal values.

Maybe you are about to get married. Maybe you are in a relationship and haven't yet considered marriage. Maybe you've been married for 5, 13, even 35 years. Every relationship at some point experiences hardship and difficulty. It takes a lot of effort and energy to make a relationship succeed and stay close connected and intimate. Sometimes, it can be very difficult to find the energy, the will, or the motivation to truly give your heart to your partner. Whenever there is brokenness, my goal is to take those broken parts and bring them back together to make a whole relationship again.

I am trained and certified in EMDR, an evidence-based approach to treating trauma. EMDR is also used to treat a variety of other mental health concerns and symptoms. My areas of expertise include complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, and marital distress.

My clients are successful professionals who have areas in their lives that they feel have become chaotic, due to addiction, abuse, and trauma. I believe that there is currently a large population of highly successful professionals who are struggling with these issues in an unhealthy way, such as watching pornography or sex. I am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) specializing in sex/porn addictions, multiple addictions, trauma, abuse, and PTSD.

I work with women, young adults, and adolescents who are seeking support and guidance in overcoming challenges, including anxiety and depression as they strive to build a better future. I help individuals identify underlying issues, set achievable goals, and develop a personalized plan that promotes personal growth, resilience, and overall well-being.

Through one-on-one counseling or group sessions, I utilize take-home tools and day-to-day life applications to help my clients experience the freedom associated with self awareness and self acceptance. I am passionate about creating a guilt free environment and open forum for any and all discussions.

Personal conflict can cause chaos in your life, but the appropriate resolution can nurture healthy relationships and personal growth. If you are ready to dig in and do the hard work, together we can work towards the more peaceful and happy life you desire. We offer Substance use groups for adults and adolescents. We are Christian centered and use a variety of research-based therapeutic methods of counseling to find what works best for our clients. I believe therapy should be started with the end in mind, so our goal is to bring about peace and balance in a timely manner.
