I help clients reach the goals they value. This often includes taking time to connect to what you feel is important to you, even if it feels like you’ve ‘lost’ certain good parts of yourself or things you used to enjoy. Whether it's self-care, relationships, or changing situations that feel ‘stuck,’ we can turn hope into a good life. In therapy, we can better understand what roadblocks or patterns need to change. We can adjust expectations, set boundaries, learning new strategies, from day one.

I specialize in Mindfulness, EMDR, DBT, CBT, Trauma Focused, Art and Baking Therapy, Walk & Talk therapy, and Christian Counseling.
Life can seem overwhelming and intense, at times it may feel like the chaos and confusion are too much to bear on your own. Conflicts within ourselves, our spouses, family, friends and children arise, uncertainty of when it will end begins to consume us and starts to feel normal. Sometimes life has felt like this since childhood, carrying a weight that is too heavy, creating patterns and a lifestyle that just aren’t working. Children can experience intense and uncertain feelings, not knowing how to regulate their emotions, or seek out validation can lead to confusion that transpires into adulthood.

Life tends to bring about a set of challenges that can be difficult to manage without the right tools. Identifying the right people just to share your story with and get wise counsel can be even more challenging. Are you depressed, anxious, confused about your purpose and goals for your life or just flat out need someone to talk to...I’m here. I believe that everyone is born with the innate ability to thrive and persevere regardless of what the circumstances say. Have faith in yourself, acknowledge that inner strength, take one small step at a time and see results manifest in due time. Seeking help means you are almost there!
