Are you struggling in your relationships with others, not getting what you want from them, feeling overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, and powerless to feeling better? I have the tools you need to resolve your problems. Though the thought of therapy can feel scary, I will work with you in a non-judgmental, all accepting, and non-assuming approach. We will work together in a collaborative partnership that clearly identifies what you need and how to get those needs met.

Immediate Openings! I use a strength based; person centered approach in a collaborative manner to assist my clients to see HOPE as they face challenges in life. I have worked as a counselor for over 20 years in a variety of settings. These include outpatient community mental health, crisis services, corporate/workplace settings, and owning and operating a private Christian counseling practice. I also have experience in training law enforcement on how to better assist individuals in a mental health crisis.

Grand Being! It is my hope to help you discover your pathway to success...however, you choose to define success. I am a staunch believer that, with the proper assistance, there is nothing that can not be overcome and conquered. I have proven this to myself and my clients time and time again through my work with incarcerates, SPMI, and children/adolescents. If you are seeking to become the best version of yourself and need someone who will help you to discover those elements, please contact me.

Are you suffering from trauma, anxiety, fear, shame, anger, addiction(substance, codependency or relationship), low self worth, relationship conflict, having difficulty managing stress, or are tired of pushing through life? Do you sabotage yourself in attempting to reach your potential or find it difficult to live joyfully, struggle with connecting passionately in relationships, or living life in the moment? I will support you in attracting and creating the life you want. I offer approaches that guide you from trying to figure out life to learning to live intentionally and passionately in the moment.

Update: Practice is full. Not accepting new clients . Waitlist available. When other clients transition out of therapy or to fewer sessions you will be contacted. I know finding a great therapist is challenging. I am here to help you find a way to improve and heal. Taking the first step towards getting better might be intimidating, but you will be grateful about seeking support once you realize how smooth and easy the therapy experience is, and how much reward there is for you.

Counseling can help you face life's challenges that may have you stuck or unable to know which direction to turn next. Counseling can help identify causes of depression, anxiety and resolve other problem areas in your life. My approach to counseling is tailored to each client's specific needs and collaborative. Establishing the therapeutic alliance is key to helping you move through and change maladaptive thought processes and build your confidence in making sound choices. My counseling perspective is to respect each client's distinctive life journey and personal narrative.

Life is a journey. Your journey and personal life experiences mean everything- the blessings as well as the traumas. When there are unhealed wounds of the past, it is hard to feel safe in the world, secure with ourselves or in relationships with others. As a result, we often experience anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. I offer a gentle, non-intrusive, compassionate and safe space for you to begin the healing process to live your most meaningful life. “What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create.”

My clients are people who have had an emotional injury of some sort. They come with psychological pain seeking relief from the stress, anxiety, and depression it brings. They want the emotional pain to stop. Some common issues are grief, forced change, conflict, spiritual trauma, individuation, transitions, or seeing that you are not the person you want to be and desire to become your best self. These are some of the struggles I have successfully helped others navigate to find a more fulfilling life. We work together. I see you with a holistic lens and I am present. You are welcome to a consultation at no cost for an opinion.

Are you struggling with current and/or past issues that are not allowing you to live richly and connect deeply to others?
