I specialize in counseling Law Enforcement families, Christians, couples needing Premarital counseling, adolescents and young adults searching for purpose, as well as individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, hopelessness, stress, family issues, singleness, and breakups. We all need hope and comfort. I strive to be accepting of all people and to provide support for whatever issue a person is facing without allowing my own opinions to influence the sessions. My clients are important to me and it is a privilege to be able to see them find hope again.

Do you struggle to slow down, mentally, physically, both? Are you weighed down by perfectionism and the anxiety it creates? Is it hard to find that place of “good enough” in the things you do? Maybe you’ve spent years, or even decades, honing your “type A” personality only to realize you’re not finding satisfaction in your achievements. Do those 3 AM questions plague you – What is life really about? Am I doing the right things with my life? When will I get a chance to do what I really want? Am I enough? Is this all there is?

Engaging in therapy is an important commitment and can be difficult to fit in with the rest of life's responsibilities. Perhaps you've tried therapy before and found it unhelpful, or worry that constant engagement in therapy is required for lasting change. Trying to cope with the aftermath of trauma, or the way anxiety symptoms can disrupt a day, or having the same fight again and again with a partner can seem to take all of your energy and motivation. Life is often stressful and chaotic, and the times when we feel most stretched thin are the times we need the most support and change.

Clear, Resolve, Transform. I help clients discover and resolve subconscious causes for emotionaI and behavioral difficulties. The Subconscious controls emotions, desires, memory, habits, thoughts, dreams, and automatic responses. One may consciously understand the value of eliminating problematic emotions, thoughts or behaviors but unless the Subconscious Mind is reached, enduring change is unlikely. I address the underlying subconscious blocks to living a clear and free life. I have effectively treated sexual abuse, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, phobias, addictions and more. Issues are cleared, clients report being able to function with more energy and clarity. Relationships thrive and lives are transformed.

Feeling the range of intense feelings that life offers can be hard to do without support. Many times, we may distract ourselves with drinking, drugs, relationships, shopping, food, or work to avoid feeling or experiencing the present. The stress of the day-to-day or the painful memories of the past become too much to hold alone. Intrusive thoughts or behaviors that we wish we could stop taking over and hopelessness appears. Connections with friends and family are difficult and challenging to manage, and we don’t know who to turn to for a safe place to get help.

When I was an adolescent I was a Bart Simpson. I was routinely sent to the office, struggled with peer relationships and had frequent conflicts with authority figures. I relate well with teen and young adult males because I still partake in skating, lifting, and gaming. It can be difficult navigating the labyrinths of life, be it conflicts with parents, the effects of divorce, the aftermath of abuse, etc. Long story short, with good decisions and coping skills, you can overcome your problems and correct the course of your ship.

I believe that the deepest healing happens when therapy is rooted in connection, empathy, and compassion, so my first goal is to create an environment in which you feel understood and supported. Likewise, I believe we are truly whole when our most important relationships are thriving – including our relationship with ourselves. Strengthening these relationships is a primary focus of my therapeutic approach, along with the attainment of embodiment, mindfulness, and freedom. I work from a psychodynamic and experiential perspective to guide you towards an experience of authenticity and alignment with yourself, others, and the world.

We are born with an inherent connection to ourselves, free of judgment, guilt, or shame. Life experiences and societal expectations shape our understanding of ourselves and our place in the world. When we experience trauma or prolonged stress, we can develop feelings of anxiety, shame, guilt, depression, hopelessness, and isolation. These feelings block us from building and maintaining connections with our families, friends, communities, and ourselves. This isolation can lead to destructive habits and compulsions that undermine the successes we achieve.

It can be challenging to carry complicated feelings, thoughts and personal beliefs that come up for us throughout life without feeling weighed down or hindered. As a therapist, I work to meet you wherever you are in your journey, allowing those feelings and experiences to help shape your personal growth. Using individually tailored, person-centered therapy, I work to assist you in gaining insight, deepening your understanding of yourself, discovering and reviving your strengths and passions, and releasing beliefs and practices that no longer serve you.
