My Specialties & Services
I tend to see issues through a trauma lens and utilize evidence-based and recognized trauma therapies such as EMDR and other trauma informed therapies. I strongly believe that every person has inner resources to help them heal and grow, and that they can learn to utilize these resources.
I help clients navigate spiritual issues and have decades of personal and professional experience with spiritual growth and development. I work with victims of spiritual abuse.
I do a lot of work with couples and believe in personal responsibility and freedom, healthy boundaries, and mutual respect in marriage.
I Work With Individuals, Couples, Families, & Groups
Individual Therapy
I would be honored to walk with you on your journey towards restoration, healing, and growth. If you feel stuck in patterns that keep you from becoming all you want to be, we can find a proven path and strategies to lift your life to a new level. You will become familiar with powerful concepts that can be applied to most situations and relationships and so form a framework of how to navigate life wisely and successfully.
Couples Therapy
Whether you find yourselves at the brink of divorce, have been through an afair, or every conversation seems to escalate, I can help you get on solid ground. I use a proven framework that can help you improve communication, restore trust, and help you find a deeper connection over time. I have over a year of concentrated and specialized training in couple’s therapy, and can help you as a couple create safety and mutuality in your relationship. I also provide resources you can utilize between sessions.
Group Therapy
At certain times of the year, I hold online group sessions for couples to help you improve your marriage on many levels. An online video course is combined with weekly live mentoring. The group setting is an excellent way to connect with other couples and learn from each other.

My Approach
Your strengths are important in therapy. Even though you may feel inadequate or defeated, believe me, your strengths are still there! As we work together, you will find evience after evidence of gifts, skills, courage, and resilience inside you!
My approach is systemic, meaning that I look at the context of family of origin, present family relationships, early attachment patterns, and how this relates to the issues at hand. What we so often feel is “wrong” with us is simply a very normal reaction to abnormal situations we have been through. As you gain understanding, you can also learn to have more compassion on yourself, and this is a vital piece in your healing! I also so appreciate the fact that the brain has full capacity to change through a person’s entire life span (neuroplasticity). This gives you hope, and there is a proven path to get there!
I believe that God gave us clear wisdom in how to navigate life successfully. Principles based on this ancient wisdom work every time, because they are as sure as the law of gravity or any other physical law we trust with our lives. Transformation happens when we begin to live out of more authentic parts of ourselves. We can learn how to help the more “unruly” parts of ourselves become less extreme and actually turn into helpful allies.
The journey of healing and growth is not always easy, but gradually you will see tangible progress in your life and you gain understanding and learn to connect the dots. There is nothing better than experiencing the stability, peace, and satisfaction that come from feeling a whole lot more in control of your life.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which insurances do you accept?
At this time, I accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, United HealthCare, HealthChoice, and UMR. I no longer accept EAP’s. My private pay rate is $135.00 per session.
Do you offer free initial consultation phone calls?
Beyond the initial contact of setting up appointments, providing practical information, and confirming insurance benefits, I do not offer free initial sessions due to an extremely full schedule.
What is your cancellation policy?
I ask for a minimum of 24 hour cancellation notice. You will receive reminders via text or email the day before your appointment, and if you contact me at that time, we can work on rescheduling. Same day cancellation or a no-show will result in a charge.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
Even though I prefer in-person sessions, I do offer virtual sessions. This is also available during inclement weather or other situations that make it difficult to come in person.
Do you see children and teens?
I want to focus on areas where I function the best, so I do not see children or teens, only adults.
How often should I come?
Depending on the severity of your issue, finances, and other possible factors, this can be discussed during your first session. Most clients come weekly or bi-weekly. Sometimes, after an extended period of sessions, clients find it helpful to come once a month for “maintenance.”
