Everyone needs a person, a place where they can talk. Freely talk. And share the things that make us feel small, the things we do that we don't understand, our worries and secret hurts that have been done to us or that we have done to others. The thing is - talking doesn't always feel good. And sometimes, the things we want to talk about are downright painful. But just because it hurts - doesn't mean we shouldn't talk about it. That's why I'm here. I want to help you have a good talk... about hard things.

If you are reading this, you have already taken the first step towards improving the quality of your life. Counseling is the process that evokes change through vulnerability, connection, openness, trust, and bringing your inner world into the light. Discovering your purpose, meaning, dysfunctional patterns of behavior and thoughts can alleviate the weight you are carrying around. I enjoy working with people who are dealing with relationship issues (of all kinds!), anxiety, life transitions, ADHD, attachment, depression, trauma, codependency, and negative self-talk. I am also increasing my knowledge around Ketamine and Autism.

Are you unsure about the future of a relationship? Do you feel inadequate, overwhelmed, alone and tired of power struggles? Are you conflicted by advice from family, friends or even other professionals? Are you anxious, extremely sensitive, or intensely critical of self and/or others? Do you become paralyzed from taking action for fear of not meeting self-imposed objectives? Do you feel that you are just existing and not living? I have traveled a very similar path and I understand what you face daily. I can help you learn research-based tools to keep your communications healthy and your relationships strong.

Hello and welcome! Each person has a unique story- a mosaic of relationships and experiences that have influenced them and created the person they are today. By closely examining who we are, we can identify the pieces of ourselves and our lives that we’d like to change. I am here as a collaborative and supportive partner in that process- someone in your corner that is there for you and desires the best for you. As a student intern in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Pastoral Counseling programs at Liberty University, I am currently working in Vancouver, WA under the supervision of Diane Moore, MA, LMHC LH6030832.

Booking new clients 1-2 months out. Healthier life means a balance in our relationships. Therapy can help by re-connecting mind, body, spirit and relationships with others. A change in one area often ties to threads in another. Brokenness in our primary relationships can disconnect family, work, community and culture. Together we can re-weave these threads through our stories about ourselves, and people around us. We can change the next chapter. What we do, who we are and what our relationships mean are all important. We need space to be unique and we also need relationships that provide closeness.

Are you feeling exhausted by the stress of life? Is anxiety or depression impacting your quality of life and relationships? Maybe you have past trauma or loss that needs healing so you can live life fully and authentically you. Or maybe something else has drawn you to seek out a counselor. Sometimes everything seems to be falling apart and a desperation emerges to seek change or support. Other times, nothing seems to be going wrong, but there are unsettled thoughts or emotions internally that don't line up with your outside life. Wherever you fall on the spectrum between "rock bottom" and "living the dream", you deserve support.

I have over thirty years of clinical experience helping clients find lasting change in their lives. My clinical focus is treating depression, anxiety, and trauma. I have specialized training in treating complex trauma including dissociative disorders. When working with trauma, the healing process can often be frightening and painful to address. Talk alone is not enough and can be retraumatizing in some cases. I use EMDR. My goal is to provide a professional, yet personal atmosphere where you can experience comfort and safety in exploring what is troubling you and find effective tools and skills that you can use in your life.

Ahh TEENAGERS! Is your teen going through a hard time? Or giving you a hard time? You are worried that it might even get worse. Raising teens can be challenging. The fact is -- you don't have to navigate the teen years alone. I equip teens to deal with anxiety and depression, build healthy relationships with family and peers, and make good life choices. I am also a supportive guide to the parents of teens. I coach them to parent from the heart and build healthy family relationships.

My counseling style is accepting, respectful, and down to earth. I am direct yet in a compassionate, thoughtful way. One of my key beliefs is that we all have needs in our life such as the needs to experience a sense of belonging and acceptance, value and worth. I can help you become more aware of what needs you and significant others in your life have, how you are currently trying to satisfy those, and explore alternative means to fulfilling your needs if appropriate. This can help with improving mood, enhancing relationships, decreasing anxiety- just to name a few concerns.

Are you stuck in survival mode and don't know how to get out? Living with overwhelm, depression, or struggling to move past old wounds can drain your energy and make it hard to find joy in life.

Many of us feel like we could be doing better, but are not sure how to start. The busy, fast-paced, and isolating lifestyle that has captured so many of us often leads to chronic stress, anxiety, disconnection from relationships and community, and a lack of meaning. On top of this, many of us also carry past traumas, large and small. Therapy is one mode of addressing these challenges. When it goes well, we have a chance to process, find healthier habits and perspectives, resolve problems, and find new ways of living which increase our well being.

Navigating through life's ever-changing landscape can be a complex journey, often marked by waves of anxiety, shades of depression, and the challenges of adjustment disorder. These experiences, though unique, share a common thread: they reflect our response to the world around us and the transitions we face. In my practice, I focus on understanding these emotional landscapes, creating a supportive space where you can explore and process these feelings. We'll work together to acknowledge the impact of life's shifts and the emotions they stir, fostering resilience and a deeper understanding of your personal journey.
