Over 17 years of practice. Working with people is a privilege & a humbling experience. I work with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, couples, and families. I concentrate on clients' strengths, and addressing dysfunctional thinking and behaviors that creates mental unrest. A great percentage of our happiness is felt in response to having healthy relationships. When we experience distress in relationships with others we feel a sense of betrayal and loss.

My professional experience has been working with adolescents, college students, adults, working on various issues, and wanting someone to help them in the journey. No one lives life without going through something that makes them question whether they can work through it on their own. This is the very place God has for us to come to him and his strength. I have personally experienced a few of these, and have been given a calling for helping others in theirs. My practice aims to shine light on the purpose we have on this earth, and walking with you to uncover the roots of why you struggle.

Do you have something on your mind? There are times when we all have thoughts running through our minds. Thoughts related to family, friends, relationships, school, love, spirituality, money, work, or happiness. Sometimes they are memories from your past that you're unable to let go. Maybe you can't sleep, maybe you can't eat. Maybe you have lost your purpose, who you are, what you're doing or why. It could be big, or just a small thing you want to let go. These situations can slow you down and pull your life to a stop.

I specialize in wholistic trauma therapy for adults who want to understand and resolve the ways their past is affecting their current relationships, jobs, and life roles. On the surface, you might be holding it all together. And at the heart of it, you're stuck - not feeling like your true self. Anger, depression, anxiety, difficulty focusing, overwhelm, and/or drugs or alcohol abuse might be more a part of your life than you’d like. This is not how you imagined it. You want, you NEED, to find your way back again.

I believe there is no true beginning or end to Healing, working on ourselves, or trying to have forward motion in our lives (but that it DOES get better!), so any entry point into counseling as a tool in those processes is the right one. /"This is heart work, and you can't think your way around this; you've gotta feel your way through it." / /"The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind."/

You see a life that you love. You face the challenges of life with courage. Your life is successful and balanced. You are aware of who you are and how you are. You can accept yourself for your strengths, struggles, and traits that make you unique. You do not get too bothered about “others”; what they think and how they act. You only own your life! You become more aware of yourself each day; the natural purpose of thoughts, feelings and actions. You keep what you like and discard what you don’t need or want. Life can be difficult but you know you are empowered and aware. You made therapy work for you.
