I believe and work from the viewpoint that all individuals and family units have the strength and ability within themselves to approach whatever may come their way and find a solution to address their issues. It is my responsibility to help the individual or family unit to see those strengths and abilities and approach them from both a Christian and systemic viewpoint. I work with children of all ages up to those of a Senior age.

My primary work today is with those individuals struggling to achieve the best version of themselves. A variety of factors are at play here from past trauma, difficulty connecting, tragic life events, self sabotaging or self destructive coping skills, among others that get in our own way. I offer a place for the individual to explore past patterns and create a new narrative for a new future.

We all seek safety, health and happiness in our lives, sometimes supported by, and other times challenged by, our life experiences, relationships and larger environment. Life often provides many resources for safety, health and happiness. When our connection with these resources is somehow block or reduced, we can use a supportive, caring relationship to find our way through worries, depression, dependencies, grief, low self-esteem, relationship disturbances, and spiritual struggles.

How did you get here? Life has likely left you in a world of anxiety, family conflict, and stuck with traumatic memories. Moments that are part of your normal day have left a path of rage that you can't explain. You're left asking, "What is wrong with me?" Your value is not impacted by facing these common problems in life. Despite feeling like no one can understand you, there is hope for you and your relationships. It may be difficult to see that hope in the darkness of depression or stress.

Being trained in marriage and family therapy means that I am not only trained in traditional psychotherapy, but also in family systems.
In my personal and professional life, I have found one thing to be true: Life can be hard. I have a passion for supporting others in resolving pain and reclaiming fullness in life. While pain is an inevitable part of the human experience, suffering is optional. I am dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families heal from relational and other traumas, problematic sexual behaviors, addictions, and intimacy disorders. I see brokenhearted adults and children as they learn to cope with an unstable world. My heart is to heal the broken hearted and give hope where hope was once lost.

While my roots are heavily in modalities such as Narrative, Internal Family Systems and Emotions Focused Therapy, I do my best to tailor treatment to meet your needs.
Reaching out is a tough but crucial first step. Pushing past the fear or even gaining the energy to start the journey out of a hard and often dark place is so difficult. So, I applaud you for being here and preparing to take that step. It would be my honor if you would allow me to be a guiding light as you navigate and work through these tough times. Whether it be an internal struggle with yourself or what feels like a rigorous war with your spouse, your family, or your friends. Together we can find hope for a brighter day. Together we will work hard to turn that hope into a reality and we will do it one step at a time.

The healing journey looks different for everyone, so I pull from a variety of modalities including Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, Brainspotting, and somatics.
I am passionate about supporting people in their healing journey. Through life’s challenges and circumstances, we adapt and develop strategies that help us cope and meet our needs. These protective strategies make sense and are successful until they no longer support us in a way that is helpful. Pain and trauma may continue to keep us stuck in patterns or limit us to certain roles that are not a true reflection of all of who we are.

I utilize Bowenian, internal family systems, emotionally focused, logic based, cognitive behavioral, motivational interviewing and solution focused, and dialectical behavior.
"We do not see things as they are, we see them as we are." -Anais Nin per Talmudic origin. We must create things twice; once in our minds, and once articulated. When we think our thoughts, it lights up one part of the brain, and when we speak our thoughts, it lights up a different part of the brain. There is often something very different when we articulate our thoughts, and they change in some way. Talking out these experiences in a narrative way assists us in making sense of how we feel about those experiences.

"I'm TIRED." I hear this all the time from my clients and/or their parents. Life has gotten so busy that we are flying from one thing to another without a chance to catch our breath.

Maybe you are tired of wondering if you made the right choice or if you'll ever be good enough. Maybe you are tired of being haunted by trauma. Maybe you are tired of taking care of everyone else without a break for yourself. Or maybe you're just plain tired. I get it! And there's good news: therapy can help.

If this is where you are today, I commend your courage for seeking help. Where you are at today is not where you need to remain. I will meet you where you're at, and work with you to find meaning, solutions, and next steps in your life and relationships.

I approach healing work through self-compassion and IFS (Internal Family Systems) informed approach.
I believe everyone possesses a core self. And many times, we look up and realize we are not sure who we are, or how we lost our way. I have learned that to find your way back is to show up for yourself with love and acceptance for all your parts. We can truly transform when we allow someone to see and hear all of us. I am not afraid to sit in the depths of my client’s pain and create safety for the wide range of emotions that take up space in the room. Trauma is a part of many of our stories. Some people act out trauma in destructive ways, and I want to help unpack those experiences to help them reclaim their voices.

Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
