My goal as a therapist is
to meet you right where you are in life’s journey
Safe place without judgement
I strive to create a safe place where you are accepted unconditionally; a place where you don’t have to fear being open about your present struggles, your past hurts or fears of the future.
We all can use a little help at times
Everyone experiences difficulty in their life, even the strongest of us can feel lost, unsure, ambivalent or unhappy at times. There is always hope.
Trusting partner
Trust is essential in a relationship. I will work to gain your trust as we build a relationship and partner on your journey together. I will take time to understand you and the reason you chose to seek help. We will explore your needs and develop goals for our time together.
Help that is specific to your needs
Based on your goals I will provide insight and assist you in learning or refining life skills utilizing evidenced based counseling methodology. I will help you manage whatever life throws at you and how to do it successfully.
I believe you have the strength not only to survive but to thrive
Our time together will be about you and for you
About Me
I have personally experienced the benefits of mental health therapy as I journeyed through my own personal struggles and difficult circumstances. In therapy I began to understand where my emotional wounds originated and how they continued to impact my life. I was empowered through emotional healing and learning new ways to make positive changes in my life. It is through my brokenness and healing that I developed a sincere desire to help others become empowered to make changes in their emotional and mental health to help them live the life that they desire.
My Christian faith is important to me. Professionally, I respect and value all individuals and work diligently to understand each person that walks through my door. Non-Christian and non-religious clients will feel accepted and safe when working with me. It is my goal to see my clients live balanced and healthy lives.
I am married and have 3 children and 1 adorable grand daughter. I love spending time with my family, having "me" time at the gym, traveling and reading for continued learning.
