Life may feel overwhelming, confusing, scary and lonely at times; but you are not alone. It takes courage to seek out connection and support in therapy. I value the bravery and vulnerability that it takes to reach out for support, especially when life has caused pain or hurt in the past. Within the therapeutic process, I hope that you are able to find and learn to love your authentic self, so that you can find joy and connection within yourself and your relationships. I’m humbled and honored to walk alongside you in your journey towards healing and wholeness, providing empathy, encouragement, feedback and tools along the way. Relationships heal. Therapy is a safe place to learn what healthy and secure relationships feel like for you in your life.

I utilize a person-centered theory in my therapeutic approach and always center treatment on what each client needs, whether they are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief or loss, low self-esteem, trauma or another difficulty.

My degrees encompass Christian Counseling with a Theology minor from Fort Wayne Bible College. A Psychology /Industrial Psychology BS from University of St. Francis and a Masters Degree in Psychology also from the University of St. Francis. My theory of approach is from William Glasser's work on Reality Therapy. How is helping you to do what you do? What do you need to do about that? And, when do you want to Change? I marry that with Christian Counseling applications. Not only do I teach people how to study the Word, but how to apply it to their own lives in todays world. I work best with teens, individual issues, marriage counseling, widows, widowers, new normal life skills. Interview for a new job, nutrition suggestions, personality and behavior issues, and how to deal with difficult people. And, especially Emotional Forgiveness Skills.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 37 years of experience, I've observed how childhood trauma can develop coping mechanisms that may become dysfunctional and evolve into such things as depression, anxiety, codependency, problematic work relationships, substance use, and even addictive patterns of behavior that serve to dull and impair one's ability to express their needs. As you enter into therapy with me, I believe you will find someone who listens intently, paying attention to not only what you say but also to the underlying emotions and patterns of which you may not be aware .I I will respond with compassion, honesty and at times humor and odd ball references to music, books, sit-coms and movies ( I tend to lean toward fantasy and sci fi, just for the record). I hope to help you find what you have been missing. You bring the flashlight, I will bring the map. I think it will be an awesome journey.

As a licensed therapist with over eight years of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My professional approach centers on helping clients heal from depression, anxiety, and trauma while cultivating deeper self-compassion and resilience. Drawing from my background as a therapist of color, I create a culturally responsive and affirming therapeutic space. I understand the unique challenges many individuals face and am committed to honoring each person's lived experience. My work focuses on addressing guilt, shame, and self-esteem challenges through compassionate, evidence-based practices. My therapeutic style integrates faith-based perspectives for clients seeking spiritual support, recognizing that healing is a holistic journey.

Together, we'll work collaboratively to transform challenges into opportunities for growth and self-understanding.

The most common struggles of the people I work with include assertiveness, anger outbursts, managing guilt and shame, and identifying or communicating thoughts and feelings. One request I may ask of clients when we work together is that labels like “right” or “wrong” are strongly discouraged in sessions. I believe clients are the experts in themselves and I provide a safe space to explore thoughts and feelings without judgment. Letting go of those labels in session is an important part of creating that safe space. As the expert, you set the pace of our work and what information about yourself that you bring to it. I provide non-judgmental observations and support with practicing what you identify as helpful. We, as people, aren’t one-dimensional. Your treatment won’t be either.

I have over 34 years of experience working with people experiencing mental health and substance use disorders. I am motivated to help you become the best version of yourself utilizing evidence based therapeutic interventions.
