I am a retired Senior Leader of the US Army. I consider myself an eclectic therapist with a sense of humor and do not believe one size fits all. I draw from various theories and use different therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Exposure Therapy, Family Systems Theories, Solution Focused, Brief Solution Focused as well as Behavior Activation techniques. I use the client center approach and use resources and support systems available for the client. I also assist with providing resources and connecting clients to their community. My specialization is in narcissist abuse education and recovery.

Sometimes in life, we can feel lost, stuck or even desperate. We do the same things over and over again without finding any solutions to our problems. Life often becomes painful when our past experiences have no words to describe them or clarity to bring them to understanding. Using a variety of approaches my clients and I explore their current pain and concerns, while considering the picture of their past experience. With support and compassion we map out a plan to discover ways to become unstuck and move in new directions.

I love listening to people's stories. I have been a therapist for almost 20 years and am drawn to the thoughts, feelings and experiences that become our personal journey. I work with children, teens and adults. I am married and have 4 children. You can trust that I understand the excruciating joy of navigating life with many different personalities. I have worked as a therapist in homes and offices, taught parent trainings in groups and to individuals, consulted with teachers and families in local school districts, and worked at a local hospital.

Let's face it, life is hard, and it doesn't seem to be getting any easier. I noticed that most people just live their lives on a day-by-day basis and struggle with finding true meaning in their lives. This may be due to the internal struggles that we all face such as anxiety, depression, grief, fear, anger, and so many other issues. We may try to deal with our issues on our own, and sometimes this works for many of us. Yet, there are some issues that may seem tougher than others, which can weigh on our moods and negatively impact our relationships with others and ourselves. Seeking help is easier said than done for most.

I have been in the mental health field since 2014 and have worked with various ages and demographics.

Entering into therapy is a courageous decision to seek life in response to whatever concerns and challenges have gotten your attention. Everyone bears experiences that have had an alienating and destructive impact on their relationship with others and with themselves. Without the support of another to work through these experiences and use them for our growth, these destructive effects often compound over time as we cope and try to heal on our own. Counseling is an opportunity to receive the kind of support that can enable you to find not only relief, but the goodness you have struggled to access in yourself and your relationships.

Are you struggling with daily tasks? Do you want more out of your relationships? Does it feel as though your heart is heavy? Struggles like this can require a helping hand and therapy can be the step you need. Therapy has the potential to empower and guide growth to overcome the challenges that life brings. It has the ability to bridge tough conversations, acknowledge the impact that the greater society has on us and unpack the emotions that feel unexplainable. Soon that checklist can feel smaller, relationships feel more fulfilling and that weight a bit lighter.

Growing up, you dreamed of being a mom. You were sure you'd always love being with your kids, make healthy meals they'd love, and have fun, educational activities planned every day. Turns out, parenting is exhausting, kids ask the same questions all day every day, and you also have to take care of your household which leaves you drained and irritated. This was not the dream! You don't want to yell at your kids to clean up every day. You want to still have energy for your partner to be the fun person you used to be. You've lost yourself and you want to find your way back to that dream life you imagined.
