I am a Clinical Psychologist who began working with clients in 2004. I have worked with a military population since 2009, to include active duty, their family members, and retirees, helping folks overcome a wide range of challenges that stand between who they are and the version of themselves they would like to be. Clients have sought support to work through anxiety and depression, trauma, grief and loss; as well as relationship stressors, communication challenges, and needs related to sense of self and worth. I am grateful to be trusted by my clients, am very careful to protect the needs they share, and appreciate being a part of their growth.

I operate from the stance that people were not intended to suffer alone. Often, burdens that appear too heavy or too great to move beneath feel that way because the individual does not have adequate resources and skills to process the situations or experiences. As a therapist, I have been blessed to stand alongside many individuals as they planted their feet back on the ground and learned to skills necessary to alter their view of self or to shift so that they became bigger than their pain. I have worked in both in-patient and private practice settings over the course of the last eight years. I have experience working with trauma, eating disorders, addiction, process addictions, families, parenting concerns, ADHD, depression, anxiety, and personality disorders. I am capable of engaging in Christian therapy if desired by the client. Overall, my goal as a therapist is to work beside the client as they learn to meet their goals, not to stand in front and pull them along or stand behind and push them. If we need to stand still and sort through some obstacles before moving forward, then that is part of the process and time well spent.

I am an experienced therapist with a variety of clientele utilizing a person centered, strength-based approach to therapy. In my 5 years of clinical experience, I have worked with ages ranging from 9 years old to 65 years old of varying backgrounds. You are the expert on you, and I am here to support you in discovering and reaching your goals. Working with you to utilize your strengths and expertise of yourself will help us to better reach your goals and higher.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with almost 20 years experience. I have taught college classes in psychology, which gives me a unique perspective in understand why we behave the way we behave. I love the brain and try explain some of our behaviors based on what I have learned about the mind and how it works.
