The step you are taking is one of the most difficult and frightening, and it requires great courage to take it. I know, I've been there myself. But, because of that, I also know what awaits on the other side, as well as what it takes to get there. What I am offering is to accompany you within those dark, frightening, painful areas of life we so often get lost in. At a pace of your choosing, we will explore and shine light in those areas so they become less frightening. Then, we will work to find a way out of that darkness and will go through, around, or over any barriers hindering your success. ​

I love sitting with everyone. God gave me the passion to sit with people and listen. I love to sit with children and teenagers, young adults and older adults. Recognizing that people are broken, I am blessed to sit with them to try and help them along. Realizing the answers lie within but sometimes help is needed to highlight those answers. I daily pray for wisdom and discernment to help those that come to me, put the pieces of the puzzle back together.

I enjoy journeying with people who would desire things to be different. I understand that most things in life are complicated a rarely simple! I prefer to believe most of us do the best we can with what we have. I trust each person's process is beneficial for the moment but may not suit all of life especially important relationships. My goal is to help each person go where they want to go and assist in whatever ways seem right to each client.

It is possible to move through life with minimal struggle. Your outward action in harmony with the inner voice that guides you, doing the right thing for the right reason, with a feeling of the wind at your back, effortless. One school of thought is that if you are not busy doing something and staying on top of things, you will lose your edge and your effectiveness. This attitude can create an over-active mind, prone to excessive worry and stress. The Art of Struggle Reduction takes a different approach. Moving through life with minimal worry, stress, and struggle makes one more effective, not less.

Personal life experiences have inspired me to help others. I have developed a deeper understanding and empathy for others that experience difficult times. I have experience working with clients that have experienced significant loss and trauma. Physical health and mental health problems, often, develop when an individual experiences high level of stress. Depression and other mental health problems may occur when individuals and families experience multiple issues. Some issues may include separation, divorce, and loss of a loved one.

Do you live in constant fear? Are you overwhelmed by grief? Do you find yourself feeling sad, withdrawn, irritable, and lonely? Are you struggling to communicate with your teen? Do you often wonder why they behave in certain ways? If so, I would like to help. We all would like to think we are strong enough to overcome these issues on our own, but there comes a time when we need to reach out for additional help. I specialize in treating trauma, mood disorders, and grief. I also have worked extensively with teens and their families, so I know the problems that are unique to teens.

I believe we are created for relationships, which is why having healthy relational dynamics among family, friends, coworkers, or other individuals is crucial to our well being. There are many obstacles we face in our daily lives. Some situations we can easily navigate, while others can be more challenging and cause us to question ourselves and our ability to persevere and overcome. Life is hard and we are not meant to do it alone. It is important to know that you are not alone in your situation and that there IS help and support for you.

There are moments in life when we can hit an emotional road block. New challenges may present themselves that are difficult to overcome alone. Life can become either overwhelming or we can learn new coping strategies and overcome old wounds. These difficulties do not have to derail us. This is why I strive to help people return to a place where they can grow and flourish to their fullest potential. I believe in an integrated vision of the human person. As a psychologist, I seek healing that acknowledges the interdependent psychological, biological and spiritual aspects of my clients.

**Now Accepting New Clients** I see adults and adolescents who typically present with anxiety and/or depression. If I had to name just one specialty, it would be anxiety. Most people suffer some form of it at some point in their lives. When left untreated, it can lead to more severe symptoms and a whole host of diagnoses. I practice primarily Cognitive Behavioral techniques. I will talk to you about your beliefs, expectations, and how you experience the world. I'll teach you to be more accepting of yourself, so you can stop judging and reacting from created stories. I will also help you improve foundational behaviors.

I have a passion to help all, but especially those struggling with behavioral issues and trauma. I understands the importance of getting ahead of behavioral issues in children and adolescents before they face legal consequences. I understand the importance of counseling following trauma. I could go on and on about the research backing the need for counseling in trauma. Behavioral issues are often rooted with some sort of trauma. I love helping others find their confidence, safety and mental health baseline.

They have spent hours analyzing the problem on their own, and they are open to professional help. I have spent over a decade studying and practicing how to create change. I offer therapy that is built upon a conversation that helps - one that is focused on discovering solutions. I don’t believe we have to talk at length about the problem in order to make change happen. Hasn’t the problem taken enough of your time and energy? We will start day one of therapy working towards finding the change you desire.
