At times in life the struggles are tough, but manageable. Other challenges hit our lives like a BOULDER that is too heavy to carry alone. If you are weary, and feeling OVERWHELMED you don't have to go it alone. It's my desire to walk alongside you, hear your perspective and offer practical ways to help. Here, you are invited to explore your needs and gain healthy coping options to guide you towards meaningful and lasting CHANGE.

Counseling is approached with an eclectic view.
This means choosing different methods based on your specific needs.

This means carefully studying your individual goals and then working out a plan for therapy that is most beneficial for you.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps people recover from traumatic events in their lives.

With past traumas and life stressors, sometimes negative beliefs and emotions get stuck shaping our present.
We feel as if what happened last month, last year, or even ten years ago is happening to us now.
Though we may not consciously connect our current feelings about a difficult situation at work to when we were in a traumatizing car accident, the same feelings of anxiety and the belief that we are not in control are still there.
The fight we get in with our spouse triggers the same feelings and emotions that we experienced when we witnessed our parents' divorce twenty years ago, and we continue to have negative emotions and beliefs about ourselves after healing from a life threatening illness.

Psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialize in understanding how medications for mood disorders interact with the body and other medications you may be taking.
Some psychiatrists may provide occasional therapy but they primarily provide medication.
Psychologists are doctors who specialize in understanding mental health.
They provide counseling and do not prescribe medication.
Medication alone cannot solve all issues.
What medication does is treat the symptoms.
Our work together is designed to explore the root of the issue, dig deep into your behavior and teach strategies that can help you accomplish your personal and/or relational goals.
