I am skilled in resourcing families & individuals in tough situations with a variety of presenting symptoms. When mental health issues appear in a child/teen, I prioritize coaching the parents in order to reorient the leadership of the family towards emotional transformation and long-term growth.

​

​

I enjoy working with a wide range of presenting issues and ages, but I am particularly interested in working with adolescents and children while incorporating their parents into the therapy process. My passion is working with individuals with developmental disabilities and special needs, as I am especially aware of the unique challenges within this system.

I work with children, adolescents, young adults and families. By drawing upon Bowen Family Systems theory, I help clients view challenges in a fresh way, make purposeful self-adjustments, improve relationship satisfaction, and ultimately live an abundant life. I integrate play therapy and sandtray therapy. Inclusion of Christian spirituality in the counseling process is optional.

​

As a Combat Veteran, I know life can let us down and make us feel lost in our pain. However, I have learned that there is hope and tools to help us process and heal from our struggles. I work with adolescents, couples and adults of any age and I would love to join you in your healing journey! 

​

​

Pain and conflict can affect every area of life if left unidentified and unexplored. My desire is to help you come to a place where you recognize the root of the pain, and determine where unhealthy perceptions, patterns and behaviors originate.  

​

I specialize in trauma focused therapy utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR). In the simplest of words, this approach focuses attention on the brain's ability to intrinsically heal with the support and guidance of a certified therapist. I find it such an honor to be able to walk alongside each individual as they find the courage to do their extraordinary work.

​

I have a passion and experience in working within the areas of marital/couples counseling, affair recovery, pre-marital counseling and women’s issues.

Adulting is hard work, not the least of which is learning how to be in meaningful relationships. How do you relate to others, God, and yourself? How do you want to take up space in the world? If these questions create a spark of longing within you, please reach out to me. I am energized by working with individuals who are motivated to grow and heal. My professional experience in ministry and my training in Bowen Family Systems guides me. 

I have a passion for working with young and older adults, veterans, and couples to assist them on their journey to wellness. I would like to  support you in exploring your anxieties and fears to help you discover just how confident, strong, and courageous you can be! I look forward to hearing from you soon about how I can be of help to you on your own journey.

Among my areas of expertise are marriage, parenting, blended and nuclear families, relationship issues, divorce recovery, as well as a wide variety of challenges that are facing young women.

​

​

I am trained in working with traumatic experiences, past and present, and, should clients desire, I will integrate Christianity into the therapeutic work. I work with individuals and couples in all stages of life.

​

​

​

I use the Bowen Family Systems theory in my approach, helping you to recognize patterns of thought, communication, or behavior that may be creating more stress than calm.  I will invite and guide you towards learning new patterns and responsive techniques which empower self and  lessen situational anxieties you may be experiencing. 

I welcome working with people that have

anxiety, depression, or suffer from traumatic

experiences. My focus is with adults,

couples, and adolescent males having

difficulty with their teenage years. I am

interested in joining you on your journey to

wellness.
