Does your life sometimes feel out of control, and you are at a loss how to make changes? Are you looking to live a more peaceful and fulfilling life, but having difficulty finding the pathway to this peace? Are you experiencing overwhelming emotions, having difficulty balancing life’s stressors, or struggling with finding motivation or purpose? Life sometimes has roads with many unplanned and unexpected twists, turns, delays, and detours. I would like to help you navigate through these difficult times/ challenges, so you can get to living the best version of your life.

I graduated from Florida State University with my Master of Science in Social Work, in 1993. I became a Licensed Clinical Therapist (LCSW) in 2018. I have been working over 29+ years with adults, teens, couples, and families struggling with a wide range of issues such as: building/ maintaining relationships, finding meaning/ purpose in life, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, mood interfering with daily life …function, trauma, grief, anger, ODD, ADHD/ADD, school-related problems, parenting issues, relationship problems, family conflicts, life’s transition issues, and other specific challenges. I also have experience providing counseling from a Christian perspective.

While I do use a variety of therapeutic methods/ strategies, I tend to lean more towards the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on making connections between thoughts, behavior, and feelings. We will look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. I will assist you in learning how to push back against those negative thoughts to change your feelings for the better. I will focus on identifying your strengths and help you to maximize them to overcome your obstacles. Our dialog and treatment plan will be tailored to meet your unique and specific needs.

I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. You are the expert of your story and have many God-given strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. I am here to help you sort through the things that are difficult right now and offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment. You are not alone as you work to improve your life. I am here to help!
