My experience as an Adoptive daddy of two children has given me a heart also for the foster/adopt community.
No matter your age, you may have trauma that needs to be addressed in order to find the quality of life you want. Life may be filled with stress and anxiety, or you may just feel like you don't belong. What about your walk with God? Are you struggling to know His plan for your life or plan steps to reach your goals and dreams? Relationally, there may be something that seems to be separating a couple rather than helping them come more together. Or a family is experiencing struggles that needs someone to help guide them through exercises to find peace again.

Anxiety can be overwhelming, depression can feel like a heavy weight on your shoulders, and trauma can have long-lasting effects.

Here's the good news - you don't have to face these challenges alone. I firmly believe in the power of a collaborative, non-judgmental approach.

Life has its challenges. There are ups, downs, and sometimes, life can just feel like a roller coaster ride. During these moments, it is important for us to take a step back, and take an inner journey to re-connect, re-discover ourselves, and foster healing. It is my belief that every challenge, and every adversity, comes with the possibilities of enormous opportunity and growth. Thank you for taking the first step, and I feel very privileged to be a part of your life’s journey.

If you or your child are struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship problems, anger issues, low energy, attention problems or sleeplessness, you may be experiencing the responses of a nervous system that has become overly sensitized and reactive. Most people who enter therapy with these presenting problems are eager to experience some relief from these symptoms, and to be able to have more choice about their responses to life’s stressors. They also wish to be able to live their best lives-to experience joy, contentment and fulfillment.
