I have a license in Tennessee in Professional Counseling, as well as a license in the state of California as a Marriage and Family Therapist. I have a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy with over 25 years of experience in the mental health field. My graduate education was rooted in a family systems approach with a later focus on Christian Counseling. I have experience working with children ages 2 - 18, as well as adults of all ages, in a wide range of settings. As a result I am well prepared to work with the entire family system to help clients find long lasting healing.

Life can be overwhelming at times. You may find yourself feeling "blue" and not know why. Or you feel your brain just won't turn off as fears or worries consume your every waking thought. Maybe stress has you feeling weighed down. Perhaps you're struggling in your relationships. Or losing motivation and hope that things will one day change. Individuals experiencing these difficulties want relief fast. They want reassurance that there are solutions for overcoming these feelings. They want someone to empathize and listen to them, as well as, give them hope for change and help them navigate these obstacles effectively.

My passion is to help others reclaim what has been lost. It may be your joy, your peace or the hope of the life you thought you would have. I work with individuals who are experiencing everyday issues such as stress or anxiety as well as major life transitions.

Life isn’t easy at times. Challenges and struggles can shake your foundation and leave you feeling confused, overwhelmed, disappointed, frustrated, or hurt. As a result you may experience uncomfortable symptoms such as grief, anxiety, depression or relationship struggles. You do not have to navigate these situations or feelings alone; we are here to help you with your journey!

Over the past 40 years I have of provided counseling and coaching in a broad range of issues. Betrayal, which is a very painful experience, is one of my specialities As an experienced therapist and one who has experienced betrayal, I have extensive experience in counseling others in this area and recently I published a book on betrayal, The Judas Kiss, Growing Beyond Betrayal. Another speciality is Parent Alienation. Throughout my many years, I have often counseled individuals who are suffering the loss of relationship with one or more of their children.

My heart is to work with those who are feeling overwhelmed by life, those who are seeking hope and healing from trauma, or those who are feeling isolated and looking for help finding their place to belong. My goal is to come alongside my clients and create a space where they feel comfortable and safe to be able to work through any obstacle they may be facing.

I decided to become a therapist because of my own struggles with mental health issues especially as an adolescent and young adult. I want to take these awful experiences and use them as motivation to help others. If you are an over thinker, I believe I can help. I work with engineers, executives, health care professionals, teachers, and pretty much any person who is in a profession that tends to reward perfectionism and over analysis.

My passion is to journey with individuals who struggle in life - whether life-long or due to a recent situation. I work with people who struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief/loss, sex addiction, faith issues, addiction and other mental health issues. My goal is to journey toward health and wholeness in one's life.

There was a time that I was so desperate to make my own marriage work that I went back to school to become a Marriage & Family Therapist. I, then, spent the next decade researching human connection. Not only did this research save my own marriage, I have now helped thousands of couples develop a connection that they didn't think was possible.

Pain is a powerful motivator for change. Being human means struggling with brokenness and pain. Being human also means we have the choice and ability to work toward healing and toward a more abundant life. When the suffering outweighs the joy of living, it would be my privilege to offer you the tools and guidance needed for healing.I am able to provide this thru personal experience and professional training. I am also a certified yoga instructor and offer individual yoga and meditation (without mysticism) to compliment the therapeutic process.

If maturity, plenty of life experience, and a strong faith in God are important criteria in your selection of a therapist, we may be a good fit.

Therapy is for everyone. At some point in their life, most people find themselves in need of a little extra support...someone to listen without judgement, a space to process, and a non-judgmental relationship that can help them find their own answers. My goal as a therapist is to help create a warm, inviting environment where my clients feel comfortable and welcomed. My style is genuine and real. I believe that good therapy is a balance of building a warm, trusting relationship and acquiring practical skills for application.

Do you have ADHD or struggle with neurodivergence? Does high stress or low self-esteem push you to be a perfectionist? Does PTSD, trauma, anxiety, or the feeling of not being ENOUGH keep you up at night? Whatever you're going through, it's possible to leverage your strengths and feel confident in your life again. Together, we can create the life of your dreams, without changing who you are or what you've been through. Your work, relationships, and self-confidence are worth it.

Relationship is at the root of my work as a therapist. My goal is to establish trusting connections through empathy, humanness, acceptance, support and humor. I work with pre-teens, teens, adults, couples and families on relationship issues; I also offer treatment of depression, anxiety, mood disorders, grief and self-esteem.

Counseling individuals and couples who are looking to improve their relationships, increase self awareness, and move towards greater levels of success and happiness in their personal and professional lives is my greatest source of fulfillment as a therapist. Modern life presents all of us with many challenges including anxiety, depression, and issues with core beliefs. Having an experienced, compassionate therapist to help navigate the journey of personal growth can make all the difference.

Life's transitions are challenging - especially for kids. Whether it's a major life-changing event like adoption, divorce, or trauma, or the day-to-day tasks like getting dressed or going to school, many kids need some extra support to navigate their worlds. Your child may be acting out with big behaviors, recovering from a traumatic event, transitioning into a new home, or processing difficult emotions. Your teen may be feeling isolated and depressed, lashing out in anger, or struggling to manage their responsibilities. Whatever the case may be, they need your support.

I know the courage it takes to walk into someone's office for the first time, so I strive to create an encouraging environment. My life experience has given me compassion and empathy for people who are hurting and are in need of help. I know how the past can influence the present and how the future can seem less hopeful. I believe hope is a powerful force. So if your lacking hope, I have extra you can borrow. Allot of my practice involves trauma work with individuals and couples and I utilize EMDR and Gottman method.
