I have 10+ year of experience working with individuals, couples and families working both in home, and outpatient from all walks of life facing a wide variety of concerns and struggles.
Mental health is three- fold. Emotional, social, spiritual health. Each of these need to be taken care of and nurtured. When any of these areas are out of balance it shows up in ones mental health. My desire to help you bring these areas into balance by treating the whole person. My approach in counseling is to guide Clients as they work toward positive change, healthy life balance, and the development of personal insight into their situation using a variety of theories with the option integrating faith into the counseling session.

My goal is to learn about my clients and their needs by listening to what is most important to them and instilling hope. I have experience working with mothers of young children who need support in managing behaviors, sensory and developmental needs of their child. Building a warm and compassionate relationship is key in therapy in my view. Helping my clients enhance their relationships by working through past trauma and past negative relationships is one of my key goals. I enjoy working with teens and other adults who are trying to find their way in the world of relationships, work, family and changing communities.

I work to help couples find balance and humor in their relationship.
I specialize in anxiety, ADHD and helping parents navigate their child's developmental diagnosis. I love learning about neurobiology and the effects that stress has on the brain. A client can expect to encounter a warm, compassionate, and encouraging soul who has a dry sense of humor and tends to address problems in a straightforward manner. I practice CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy), TF-CBT (trauma-focused CBT), ABA (applied behavioral analysis), solution-focused therapy, and structural and strategic family therapy.

I have worked with adults, children, couples, and families.
My ideal clients want to achieve stabilization in thoughts, mood, and behavior. They are at a point where they are aware of a change in their “norm” and want to process through symptoms that have surfaced as a result of that change. They are looking for coping skills and techniques to assist initially in stabilization and possibly continued work to process through past events that might possibly affect them in the present. They have goals of identifying triggers and stressors, understanding current or past coping, and develop healthy coping strategies and interventions. They want to "feel" like themselves again.

I believes the counseling relationship is a grace space where healing and transformation take place.
Just relax, they said - and you want to, but don't even remember what that feels like! What if something goes wrong? It did that one time. You are not alone: many people spend their time dealing with thoughts and feelings that are intrusive and time-consuming. If you are tired of feeling trapped inside your head, there is hope. My passion is helping people get unstuck from thoughts and feelings related to past and present experiences including child and adult complex traumas, OCD (Obsessive-compulsive Disorder), and other anxiety and depression related issues and back into living life.

Don't let your past keep controlling your future. Let's shift patterns that are running your life. Difficult experiences often result in patterns of thinking and behaviors that don't serve us well today. Have you ever felt like "I don't deserve...", "I can't put my needs first..", "I need to be one way for someone to love me, trust me, keep my job, keep my partner"? Let's change these patterns.
