I have worked with people for over 30 years in: Emergency Services, At-Risk Teens, Victims of Crime, Career Changes, and with survivors of grief.
The therapeutic experience should encourage one to live a more satisfying and meaningful life. Everyone has a unique journey through this world and the sum of the experiences along the way (good or bad) make us as individual. Sometimes we get lost, hit bumps, or even get overcome with a tidal wave of things that we need help getting back on our path or creating a new one.

You thought that you were going to have a great marriage, but so far that hasn't been working out. You hate the idea of divorce, but also hate the idea of coming home from work and having a big fight, so maybe you just avoid each other in order to keep the peace. You've perfected how to go through the motions with your friends and family, but behind closed doors, the two of you can hardly look each other in the eye. Or maybe you are struggling with a job you don't like, being too busy and stressed out all the time, or feeling stuck in a life you know should be better. You were created to live a dynamic life, and this isn't it.

Sometimes life becomes too much to handle. Anxiety builds and depression sets in. Often friends or family don't understand why you feel the way you do. Your Pastor may not have the time to really listen and help you figure things out.

People do not seek counseling because everything in their life is going well. Sometimes we just need someone to come along side and help us "do" life. Sometimes we just need someone to help ease the pain. I approach counseling from a Christian Worldview believing that deep down people want to be seen, understood, and accepted for who they are. I use a variety of evidence based practices such as EMDR and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help you on your journey.

Welcome! I work with individuals, couples and families. A basic guiding principle in my work is that, when we are able to really see and accept where we are, and who we are, we begin to heal and grow. I see therapy as a sacred space, a place of safety in which we can allow ourselves to go deeper into our experience of ourselves, the other, and of our life as a whole. There is a trust I have found in this process, that if we attend to what comes up in this place, it will lead us through.

My aim is to help you see yourself not as flawed or broken, but as worthy. Seeking therapy isn’t always easy when life is not going in the direction you were hoping. Life can be incredibly painful at times. It is helpful to have someone in our corner, who will support and validate, as well as guide and challenge when necessary. I am passionate about helping others and I believe in developing strong relationships with my clients and use a collaborative approach to help you reach your goal. Trusting a therapist and allowing yourself to be vulnerable can be challenging but the end results will be worth the journey.

My desire is to build a strong therapeutic relationship with all of my clients. Therefore, respect and trust are two of the most important elements to maximize the counseling process. Whenever a person's problems become bigger than themselves, goals tend to become less of a priority. I know that through focused planning, goals come to life. Because people are the experts over their lives, you will drive the learning and set the goals.

Career Counseling Therapists
How do I know if I need career counseling?
Determining whether a career counselor is needed involves assessing one's current career and identifying what changes can be made to improve one's overall quality of life. In particular, feelings of loss of motivation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, procrastination, or ongoing levels of high stress can all be indicative of a need for career-related counseling. In addition, individuals changing jobs may want the decision-making support or self-reflection opportunities provided by a career counselor.
Who can benefit from career counseling?
Anyone can benefit from the self-reflection, skill development, and stress management techniques that career counseling can provide. However, individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out with their current job and individuals considering a major career change may particularly benefit from career counseling to improve their wellbeing. Additionally, individuals who are facing issues in their current job, such as coworker relationship challenges or not meeting performance goals, may benefit from the perspective that a career counselor can provide. College-age or young professionals may also uniquely benefit from career counseling as they make key decisions surrounding education and job training that will impact their career trajectory.
How long does career counseling typically last?
The length of career counseling can vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual and what type of support they are seeking. Career coaching or advising services—which serve clients in a specific, goal-oriented capacity—often last for a shorter duration and are sometimes only a single session or a few sessions in length. In contrast, career counseling as part of a more integrative therapeutic relationship with a counselor may last longer, particularly if the issues faced by the client are longstanding and/or more complex in nature; in such cases, individuals may expect therapy to last multiple months or longer.
How to prepare for career counseling?
Clients can prepare for career counseling sessions by outlining the specific topics they would like to address with the counselor, such as current job challenges or hopes for the future of their career. Compiling one's thoughts on such topics often requires reflection on one's career and future goals, which in itself can be beneficial for session preparation. Clients may also want to put together a list of questions they would like to ask the counselor, particularly if the career counselor they are seeing has particular expertise in a given career area. Conducting research into potential future jobs, training opportunities, or support resources in one's area may also help clients prepare for career counseling by providing them with a background of what resources are available in their area.
