If you are looking for a therapist, then in some way or another your life is not going how you planned. You may feel overwhelmed by the weight of your current situation, or you may have carried the weight so long that it has left you feeling empty. No matter how you might have coped with the weight of what you have endured, you deserve to be treated with respect.

It is my privilege to help people confront relational and emotional health problems they may face when life's problems become overwhelming. My counseling practice primarily focuses on helping individuals and couples come to a place of restoration in their individual and relational lives whether dealing with a marriage in crisis or an individual emotional, behavioral or spiritual crisis.

Have the terrible 2's never stopped or gotten worse after your child turned 2.5 yrs? Do you have a young child with more frequent, long, or intense temper tantrums and behavior problems than is expected for the child’s age? Does your child seem to get a thrill out of purposely annoying others, get in trouble regularly at preschool, or react with defiance and aggression to adult requests and limits? Or, is your child so anxious that you are dreading daycare or school drop offs because your child has to be pried off of you? Is your child struggling to adjust to a transition like parents’ divorce, a new sibling, grief, or trauma?

Relationships are hard! The drama and emotional roller coaster are exhausting. After trying diligently to give all that you can, you end up dumped, rejected, or betrayed again. Beating yourself up, inevitably feeling unlovable. So you hide your emotions and stay busy to protect yourself. But inside, it's impossible to ignore that sadness and loneliness are growing. All you want is someone who cares and who can be there for you. But it's hard to attract the right person. Your friends are moving on with their lives, while you wonder if happiness just wasn't meant for you. You're so tired of trying that you feel resentful and empty.

You’re discouraged that life isn’t measuring up to what you had hoped. You fake it so it seems like you have it all together, but you feel dissatisfied, hopeless, and empty. Feeling disconnected from the most important people in your life, and even from yourself has really taken its toll. I’m here to help. Life's hard and it’s easy to get caught up in the busyness, losing sight of what really matters. It becomes more characterized by depression, anxiety, conflict, loneliness, and addiction; more so than the peace and fulfillment that is desired. Distressing feelings like these is likely what brought you here, hoping for help!

Hello! I believe that choosing the right therapist to meet your individualized needs is an extremely important decision. I enjoy working with all kinds of people that are in different places in their lives. I find it so exciting to see people commit to change and then watch the growth that follows. I appreciate being blessed with the opportunity to be part of such a healing process. I can offer education and guidance with building healthier coping skills, more effective ways to cope with stressors, and positive thinking patterns.

Are you trying to figure out how to get along with people, even though people get on your nerves? Are you having difficulty getting your needs met in your intimate relationships? Maybe you are struggling with critical internal dialog. I have helped 100s of clients learn to live life, not just stand on the sidelines and observe life. I can help you naturally begin performing well at home, at work, at school, or anywhere else you might feel uncomfortable. You will become more decisive, more in touch with your emotions, and more in control of your thinking patterns.

We all have areas of our lives where we feel stuck. We can’t seem to figure out what’s going on inside us or in our situations. Even if we see a problem, we might not know how to navigate it. Counseling is an experience that helps you safely explore these places to make sense of your experience and find more clarity for the experiences to come. Together, we sift through the combination of thoughts, emotions, experiences, and patterns that make up who we are to find deeper understanding, clarity, and peace.

I partner with individuals who are dealing with issues related to mood or emotions, sleep, chronic pain, trauma, or stress. Understanding that: 1. our minds and bodies are inextricably intertwined (shout out to our incredible Nervous System!), and, 2. there is often an overlap between mood, sleep, trauma, chronic pain, or stress... when we work on one area, it also has benefits in other areas! We leverage the power of these interconnections to help you figure out and move in the direction of what's really important to you in your life.

Are you seeking inner peace? Desperate for relief from the troubles surrounding you? Anxious, scared, lonely, sad or confused? It can be hard raising children. Typically after giving birth many moms find themselves in a sea of emotions. In this stage of life that can be labeled “blissful,” it may actually feel overwhelming. Your idea of being a perfect parent is shattered on the floor, along with the heaps of laundry and scattered toys. Your childhood trauma may be getting triggered and it can feel exhausting. You want to be fully present for your family and more importantly yourself. This is the time to reach out and get help.

I offer support in facing and gaining mastery over life’s many struggles, including but not limited to the following areas: trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, and addiction. I also provide encouragement and collaborated direction for those desiring to become the best possible version of themselves.
