Are you struggling through life or feeling lost and directionless? Almost everyone needs help along life’s journey. Knowing ourselves deeply and understanding how our early experiences influence our current relationships and behaviors can help us improve our mood and change our lives. In my psychotherapy practice, I use a non-judgmental approach to help you open-mindedly evaluate your own life and to help you find alternative ways to view and solve your problems.

Most will experience times in life when it seems everything is upside down and they're just hanging on. Sometimes it's just hard identifying the source of your pain. In either case, reaching out to a skilled therapist makes all the sense in the world. I work closely with clients affected by depression, anxiety, trauma, relational issues, grief, loss and racial injustice indignities. My focus is working with women through transitions in life, individuals desiring self-esteem development, and couples who want to heal and transform their relationship into a richer and more connected union.

For nearly twenty years I have worked in public service because I deeply care about supporting and building healthy communities. I provide a nonjudgmental and warm therapeutic environment, which enables my patients to feel comfortable and trust the process. Only the patient's culture and values exist during session and I have experience successfully utilizing a patient's faith in therapy (previously unknown to me). I like to have fun with everything I do. So we will definitely share some laughs and maybe some tears. We will work together as equals to reach your mental health goals.

Remember being little and wanting to grow up? To have your own life and make your own choices? But now it’s a bit more overwhelming than you thought it would be and maybe not nearly as much fun? Adulting is hard. And maybe you still feel like that little kid inside that doesn't have a clue. Perhaps you are struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, toxic stress, or trying to cope with immense grief and loss. Maybe you feel like you are carrying the bad habits and toxic traits you were taught when you were young into the rest of your life.

In the uncertain world we live in today, everyone needs a little extra support from time to time. I am a licensed clinical psychologist and have been working in the mental health field for the past 12 years in some capacity (in-patient, outpatient, residential, private practice, and community mental health). I believe that everyone has the capacity for wellness, but obstacles can get in our way and make it seem impossible. My approach is to work with clients to determine the most effective ways to get you to your goals, and I often use humor to help us get there.

A basic theme in behavior can be viewed as a directional thought process. If we think it, believe it, we can become it. This thought process can apply to how one handles a problem. There are times that problems interfere with daily life in such a way that it grows into an overwhelming place of emotional discord in our personal and/or professional lives. Stress, anxiety, depression, and premarital/marital issues can be metaphorically high on the Richter scale for mental health therapy. These factors can also be connected to deeper issues related to human behavior. Welcome services are provided for individuals, couples, and families.

As a collective, society is learning that overall health and wellness needs to be a non-negotiable if you want to create the life you desire. My passion lies in supporting clients in what western medicine labels as "anxiety, depression, and ptsd symptoms", when in actuality, the underlying issue is nervous system dysregulation. Addressing the root issue will facilitate healing your entire system to achieve mind-body integration. Deep inner work requires curiosity to identify road blocks that limit your ability to self-reflect and find the answers that you seek. Your truth already exists within you.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I administer, interpret, and prepare culturally sensitive reports based on psychological test data. Cultural considerations play a crucial role in understanding an individual’s beliefs, learning styles, educational attainment, and values and which provide a foundation for her or his pursue of happiness, attainment of career success, and development of a sense of purpose and situatedness. I conduct aptitude and achievement evaluations, assessments to evaluate an individual’s intellectual and emotional intelligence, assessments to evaluate an individual’s personality and social functioning.

Therapy is an experience where human beings learn to live differently. Differently is the key word. Different can look like less depression, more spontaneity, or deeper and more mutual relationships. Different can be learning to say "yes," "no," or "maybe." Different can be improved physical health, less anxiety, or sustained sobriety. When one begins treatment there's usually a percolating idea of what needs to be different. Helping you clarify the ways you'd like to live differently, what has gotten in your way up to this point, and how those changes can be made is psychotherapy.
