Talking to a therapist can feel as comfortable as chatting with a close friend or buddy. You deserve to live a fulfilled and happy life. With 14 years of experience, I have learned ways to connect with clients and help them make changes that leave them satisfied. Is there something bothering you that is difficult to discuss with the people you know? Is past trauma impacting your relationships? Are you unsure if you have past trauma? I work with a wide range of cognitive and emotional issues. I specialize in working with adults, aging-related concerns, caregivers, and Veterans. I provide individual and group therapy. Are you ready to get started? Are there times when you feel alone? Have you experienced periods of sadness and frustration while attempting to do your best each day? Are you taking care of others and paying attention to your needs last? Are you struggling to make life changing decisions? Are you dealing with difficult relationships, stress, depression, anxiety or trauma? Sometimes you can feel uncomfortable opening up to the people closest to you. Did you know that talking to a therapist can feel as comfortable as chatting with a close friend? Imagine sharing your feelings and concerns comfortably in a confidential setting. Imagine receiving assistance with processing these feelings and working toward resolution.

*** Please note that I am only able to schedule appointments on the hour (i.e. 10:00), and cannot accommodate appointments on the half hour (i.e. 10:30). Thank you for your understanding as we work to improve the scheduling platform. *** I check-in with clients each session to ensure their goals remain the same. I also confirm they are continuing to find my therapeutic approach helpful. Clients are encouraged to express their needs. Therapy sessions are adjusted to meet the client at a level comfortable to them.
I create a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to speak openly. My clients often smile and even laugh if that is what they feel during the session. If there are tears then I help them to acknowledge what is behind those tears. I want therapy to be enjoyable and helpful. It is a unique experience that I encourage you to try for yourself.

She is a great listener with real world solutions.
I help clients to identify and understand their attachment styles. In addition, we can apply this to real-life situations so that you can see how your attachment style shows up and impacts your relationships.
I can incorporate Christian faith principles into therapy sessions and reference scriptures as they apply to your needs.
It is important to understand what is happening when you are experiencing certain feelings and emotions. I do activities within the session to walk clients through a CBT process. This has been a game changer for many clients.
My approach is gentle due to the sensitive nature of what is discussed in therapy. I work with clients to increase their level of comfort with asking for what they need and providing feedback within the therapy session. My intention is never to offend a client. I tailor assignments and strategies based on the client's feedback and point out the progress that clients often times do not recognize how much they have accomplished.
Discussions about the emotional patterns of eating and your diet are incorporated. I educate you about how this can impact your mental and physical health.
