I am so happy that you found me and I believe there is a reason that you did. If you are looking for a psychologist who is fun, knowledgeable, and offers a variety of services that are meaningful, evidence-based, and effective, you're in the right place!

 

I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families who are ready to make an impactful change in their life. I find it to be a blessing to come alongside you in your journey and see you progress with setting and reaching both short and long term goals, experiencing lasting joy, building resilience, and effectively managing and accepting all emotions.

 

I really enjoy helping people to identify, accept, and overcome anxiety. While we all experience anxiety during our lives, it is important to learn the difference between real and imagined dangers, to be able to approach new experiences even if we are scared, and to live a life free from the damaging and smothering aspects of anxiety related disorders. 

​

If you have been struggling with worries, intrusive and unwanted thoughts, compulsive behaviors, insomnia, or panic attacks and want to get better and live free from these debilitating symptoms, you're in the right place.

 

If you want to grow in resilience, faith, courage, love, and find true and lasting purpose and meaning in your life, I am here to work with you. You are in the right place.

​

Parents: This is a very difficult and simultaneously amazing time to raise children. I can help you navigate this season of life with healthy decision making both for yourself and your family. We can successfully work through common behavior struggles, family stressors, decisions about smartphone and technology access, and establishing good household habits. You are in the right place.

 

College students and young adults: Learning, growing, and developing professionally through higher education or employment can be some of the most memorable years of your life.  Making decisions about the future after completing high school or graduating college can be anxiety provoking and challenging. In my practice, I work with students and young adults who are struggling with relationships, independence, time management, stress management, anxiety, test anxiety, life choices, career plans, friendships, and life balance. I help students to be successful at school and have a memorable experience. While earning my bachelor's degree, I spoke at college fairs, parent workshops, and open houses to represent what college is like and how you can be successful. I loved helping first year college students from around the world adjust to college, choose majors and careers, get involved, and have a great college experience when I worked as a college advisor for 4 years during doctoral study. During my last year of graduate training, I provided therapy services in a college counseling center. I love working with young adults deciding post high school plans, career goals, and options for continuing education. You are in the right place.

 

Christians: Finding therapy that aligns with your faith can be challenging. Sometimes disorders involving unwanted intrusive thoughts, excessive worries, and panic feelings can negatively impact your belief system and cause confusion and doubt that conflict with your view of self, spirit, and the world. This can lead to great distress and avoidance of places of worship, community gatherings, or connecting with others in your faith. If you would like to incorporate Christian counseling and Biblical principles into your treatment, you are in the right place.

I believe in the benefit of being able to reach people where they are emotionally, psychologically, cognitively, geographically, spiritually, and financially and build from there.  There are a variety of ways we can work together. Check out the online therapy options in the secure virtual office. I can meet with you over the phone or internet securely around your school, family, sports, and work schedules. You are in the right place.
