Facing life's challenges can be overwhelming! I am the therapist that will provide a confidential environment where sessions are a collaborative process. My goal is to help my clients gain the necessary tools to aid in wellness and a positive mindset. Mental health and physical health work together with both being extremely important. Let's help free your mind of repetitive/negative thoughts. I'll teach you how to spot negative patterns and give you tools and skills to create a new path forward with yourself and love ones. Improvement may not happen overnight, but you should see changes, even if it’s just a better understanding.

I consider it a privilege working with young adults who find the obstacles of life challenging and overwhelming. It is rewarding to provide tools to solve difficulties and create a sense of empowerment in areas of anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and life transitions. In therapy, I like to encourage my clients to explore rooted areas that seem to resurface in other areas of their life.

Helping families and changing lives is one of the greatest rewards that I feel privileged to do. As a retired military wife in a military area I feel that I get the best of both worlds, working with civilian and military families. Every day is an opportunity to impart in someone's life so that it can appear more hopeful. Marital Counseling is one of my specialties, and I have written a book on "It's Marriage, Do the Math." This book is ideal for someone that is married or engaged to be married.

As a therapist focusing on human sexuality; I personally understand challenges of life and relationships while professionally instilling hope and motivation to many of various cultures. Whether from a biblical or secular perspective; sex is to be enjoyed. Past experiences play an integral part in the present and future. Sexual dysfunction is often a silent subject screaming for a sense of relief and release. What's designed to reduce stress can actually provoke it when the body is inhibited due to anxiety, depression, guilt, illness, abuse or other negative factors. What's your burden? We are dedicated to help you get beyond it.

I believe that the foundation of therapy is the collaborative relationship between client and therapist exploring possibilities and solutions to transcend suffering, face reality and remove barriers to wellbeing. Mark Twain was quoted as saying “Life is one damn thing after the next”. Many times it is the perspective we take on life’s experiences and our focus of attention that determine our emotional and physical wellbeing. I believe that it is my job to help you identify and yes, remember the strengths and resources you have accumulated throughout a lifetime of experience that can have a profoundly positive effect on your life.
