My Story

Are you finding yourself struggling in relationships? Maybe feeling invisible or not able to fully engage?  Have you noticed you are so afraid of conflict that you dismiss your own needs?  Or have you started to notice that along with lack of anger and sadness there is also a lack of joy and optimism?  These are all signs of unhealthy relationship patterns that create negative cycles and distance, ultimately destroying relationships with self, others and God.

My foundation of faith serves as a guide personally and professionally. Nonetheless, I do realize spirituality is a personal choice and I encourage those I serve to be true to their own beliefs as I work collaboratively with individuals on how (if at all) spirituality is worked into treatment. I believe we must accept and understand our own humanness (mind-beliefs, body-physiology, and soul-experiences / perspectives) to identify and dismantle negative patterns in relationships.  I believe we all want to be seen, heard and valued but sometimes our learned patterns of relating and unspoken rules or beliefs keep us hidden. I understand the complexity of how each person experiences life from the cradle to the grave and I desire to walk alongside individuals, families and couples in helping discover and unlock identity, beliefs, trauma, grief, spiritual harm and relational patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, relational conflict, addictions and so many other mental health issues.

​

I have specialized training in treatment methods that are trauma-informed and growth oriented. Such as, EMDR, Emotion Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Sandtray, Prepare Enrich, and Collaborative Couples Communication.

​

I have been married 29 years and together we have raised four children, blended together from a previous marriage, together and foster. In my free time I like to go on road trips with my husband and two lap dogs, or spend time with my kids and grandkids.
