J. R. R. Tolkien once wrote in a letter to a friend, "No man can estimate what is really happening at present. All we do know, and that to a large extent by direct experience, is that evil labours with vast power and perpetual success - in vain: preparing always only the soil for unexpected good to sprout in." Most of us readily identify with the first part of that statement but may not be so sure about the second part. We hope for truth, beauty, and goodness and because of that hope we suffer. How do we live with integrity and freedom in the midst of suffering?

First, let’s take a breath and acknowledge how incredibly insightful you are for seeking therapy in the first place! At first sight, therapy on its surface appears to be daunting, and it usually demands a lot of effort from the person seeking therapy, but alas, the commitment to therapy is well worth it because you are worth it. We owe it to ourselves to be just as invested in our mental and physical self-care as we are in our professional lives and interpersonal relationships. Whatever the issues, big or small, I am here to tell you that you do not have to traverse this journey alone!

Deciding to go to therapy can be difficult. It's uneasy being vulnerable, especially with someone you have never met. I can assure you, with me you will get much more than a nod and a "So how does that make you feel?" My clients will tell you that helping them overcome is my passion! If you are struggling through life transitions, relationships, parenting issues, mental illness, or even wrestling through spiritual/ministerial matters, you can find both a clinical and/or Christ-centered approach to personal growth and mental/spiritual wellness. Come as you are. Let me show you how revelation can transform, heal & restore!

Feeling stuck, hopeless, or confused? Need a change, but not sure what it would be? Sometimes life throws challenges that are too overwhelming to handle alone. Whether you are having trouble accepting or believing in yourself, fighting depression or anxiety, managing anger, or dealing with relationship problems; psychotherapy can be an extremely helpful process to facilitate personal growth and insight.

I truly believe that everyone can benefit from therapy at some point in their lives. Seeking out treatment is a big step and it's important to find the right Therapist to help you. I offer treatment based on your needs and help create a positive mindset for those motivated for change.

If we are to live into our potential and experience lives that are meaningful to us, it is helpful to gain insight into where we feel blocked and what needs to happen to move us closer to our authentic self. As a psychotherapist and certified psychoanalyst, I can often help you on this journey. There are many reasons why we seek individual or couple therapy. Understanding ourselves better seems to be reason enough. But for some this decision comes when we are at a particularly difficult moment in life--a death, divorce, relationship concerns, retirement or any situation which may constellate strong feelings.

Whether it is your first time in therapy or a you are a lifelong therapy fan, I strive to make everyone feel comfortable and accepted in my (virtual) office. In therapy sessions, I am flexible to client’s needs both in their goals and how they want to get there.

Some issues that I speciailze in are PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, veteran's issues, and life adjustment issues.

Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach and I work with my clients to tailor therapy to meet their needs. Everyone is different and experiences many challenges in life. To better serve my clients, I start where the client is. With the client’s help, I determine the goals of therapy and we work together to achieve those goals. This process works even if people do not know what they want from therapy except to feel better. Therapy involves many layers and it’s my job as a clinician to guide them through those layers.

Sometimes the things that are holding us back are things we have kept locked away - I want to enrich a safe environment where we can unlock that box and piece out the areas that may be challenging and painful to unravel. I explore childhood experiences, past and present relationships, communication and problem solving skills, and conflicts to understand my client.
