I have a general psychotherapy/counseling practice and I enjoy helping clients to identify their needs and goals and then help them achieve their goals. I like to help people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, interpersonal skills problems, workplace struggles and family issues.

As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC), I use a Christian perspective to help adults, children, and families of all backgrounds to understand how our behaviors affect ourselves and our relationships. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, parenting/marital troubles, substance or gambling addictions, I provide a safe place for you to come individually, as a family, or as a couple. Through understanding our thinking and emotion behind our behaviors and finding the meaning of your life, you will be inspired to live out an enriched life.

I am glad you are here and exploring what is right for you! I believe that the therapy relationship, along with clinical knowledge, is the key towards effective therapy. A good therapist should be able to create a feeling of safety, which allows one to fully address issues and work towards their goals. Clients have told me that my down to earth style, sensitivity, and clinical skills made it possible to face the challenges that they were working through. I work with Teens, Adults and Parents, always tailoring my approach to clients' individual style and developmental needs.

Navigating life in your 20s, 30s, or 40s involves finding balance and authenticity in a world that often feels chaotic and demanding. As a holistic therapist, I provide a nurturing space where we can explore the interconnectedness of your mind, body, and spirit. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of daily life and relationships, disconnected from your inner sense of peace, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, know that you're not alone. Together, we'll gently unravel the knots of stress and uncertainty, using mindfulness practices and body awareness to reconnect you with your inner wisdom and well-being.

A happier and healthier version of you can soon be your reality. Are you seeking growth and change in your life and finding it difficult? Are you or a loved on struggling with managing your emotions in healthy ways these days? Are life’s stressors or life transitions making it difficult for you to adjust and cope? Do you feel lost, sad, worried or unhappy with how things are currently going in your life? Do you or one of your loved ones cope with unhealthy behaviors, an addiction or substance abuse problem and you think it is time for a change? Are you seeking an alternative pathway to healing your inner self? You can get help.

Scrolling through Psychology Today isn't the same as visiting your favorite social media platform! In fact, I'd venture to say that visiting this website was extremely intentional and you are one step closer to the divine intervention you seek.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming. Often, it can be hard to pinpoint exactly what is wrong or how to improve it. You may have feelings of isolation, sadness, or anxiety that come up when you least expect it. You feel like you need a break, but demands call for you to work harder, do better, and be stronger. Friends and family may offer advice, but deep down you think they just don’t understand.

At a very young age I struggled to find someone I could relate to. I wanted to find someone that I could speak to freely and without judgement. I never found that as a young adult. As an adult I saw the need in my own community for mental health and family dynamics. All I have ever wanted to do and dedicated my entire life to is mental health wellbeing and understanding we all have the resources and the will power to overcome adversities.

Are you feeling stuck? Disconnected from you desires? Confused? Have you struggled with feeling different or building satisfying relationships? Strong, loving relationships are essential to wellbeing. No relationship is more important than the one you have with yourself. I want to help you achieve better integration of mind and body through self-compassion, acceptance, mindfulness, and embodiment. I have specialized experience working with LGBQ, Trans, Poly/ENM, GNC/NB, Kinky, and Sex Working individuals. While I don't accept insurance I do offer sliding scale services to individuals $40-$150 based on need.
