While I may not understand an individual’s exact pain, I can empathize with the one who is suffering. I know how it feels to be alone during dark times and I don’t want anyone to feel that way. My goal is for my clients to experience support and acceptance. When you walk through the doors, I want you to feel less lonely and more empowered.

It was complicated - it still is. Maybe it wasn't ever perfect, but it was yours. And it is gone. Whether you lost a loved one, a relationship, or a pet. Whether the loss came through a move, retirement, or an accident or illness, your world has shattered. You keep going, but each day feels like a struggle. When friends ask, you say you’re “fine”, but inside you feel numb. They try to understand and cheer you up, but you feel even worse. You believe you have to stay strong, but you long for support. Time was supposed to heal, but it hasn't. You wonder if you'll ever find joy and meaning again. Yes, you can.

There’s no secret to life or hacks to happiness. If you want truth, life is hard and there’s no handbook for how to manage yourself, much less your relationship or family dynamics. The mess of life is a great foundation for growth! You are not alone in your highs and lows and feeling misunderstood is common. Being vulnerable is not always easy but I think it is important to say the things others are afraid to say. With my background and experience, I am confident together we can work to overcome the struggles that are keeping you from living your best life.

The first step to getting healthier is often asking for help. When looking at mental health, however, that can be scary and overwhelming. Many people have tried to express their struggles, only to be met with shame. We get stressed, we lash out at ourselves or others, then sit in the shame and guilt that follows. Maybe you struggle in relationships, regulating your thoughts and emotions, or experience self-defeating behaviors. To move towards growth and progress in any area of life, you must feel accepted, cared for, and supported.

Children often do not have the words to express what they are thinking or feeling. Traditional talk therapy alone is rarely successful in helping children process difficult life situations. I help children overcome anxiety, depression, and other challenges. I also assist parents in building strong, open relationships with their children. If your child is going through anxiety, sadness, behavior problems, social issues, or life changes ( divorce, loss of a loved one, etc.) I am happy to walk along side them in their journey. In addition to working with children, I also see teens and adults.

Through a unique combination of Biblically-sound therapy, training, and coaching, I help families reduce the effects of ADHD, anxiety, divorce, and trauma.
Exhausted. Hoping to have a good day with your child, but hope ran out when he had another tantrum. Praying for some relief. The yelling and screaming and the anxiety are becoming unmanageable. Just one good day. That's not asking too much, is it? Lots of advice but nothing has worked. Or it works for a while and then it goes back to the same old thing. Fear of what might happen means staying home most of the time. Surely there is a better way. For you and your child.

I’ve survived trauma & divorce, fought depression, lived with chronic illness, made tons of mistakes, and I’ve outright failed—too many times.
Healing can mean diving deep into your past. Those depths can be a scary, painful place, but there’s treasure, too. You're created in God’s image, uniquely wired to be like no one else, with gifts and strengths to discover. I welcome you to a safe space to explore yourself. You’re free to be completely, unashamedly YOU... w/out the masks that hide what's beneath the surface. I'll listen, offer validation, show acceptance/grace, & encourage you to take those first steps towards becoming the YOU God intended. Learn to extend grace to yourself as you discover the life you’ve always wanted. Saturday appts available, BCBS accepted.

After going through a tough divorce, I went back to school and pursued a career in counseling.
I am a mother of 2 boys, ages 21 and 25. I truly enjoyed every minute of raising them, even the hard moments. My oldest son is now married and in Seattle with his wife. My youngest is the fireball who has DiGeorge syndrome. It was challenging many times, but I have been his advocate through his entire life and still am to this day. I am now an empty nester with just my sweet dog Dixon, an American Eskimo.

My therapeutic philosophy involves utilizing a holistic approach incorporating Gestalt and Adlerian therapies. As a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in athletes, children, adolescents, and young adults, I frequently work with clients experiencing issues related to poor sport or school performance, life changes during adolescence, life transitioning from college to career, parenting issues, sibling relationships, and divorce family transitioning. Topical issues may include low self-esteem , ADHD, transitioning from athletic identity, peer relationships, anger management, self-mutilation, eating disorders, and self-empowerment. A fundamental element in my approach is establishing the therapeutic relationship through rapport and building trust between the client and the therapist.

Divorce Therapists
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.
What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.
When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.
How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
