My life feels like chaos! How can I get past my past? How can I save my marriage? How can I achieve my goals in life? These are common issues that bring people into counseling. To borrow a quote from coach Wooden "although there is no progress without change, not all change is progress." Getting started can feel uncomfortable at first but usually as you proceed most people are engaged, energized, and feeling the benefits. My style is such that it does not feel like therapy--rather someone you know who has been down this road as well.
My practice is focused on individuals, children, adolescents and their families utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR. I have over 5,000 hours as an LPC and have participated in Christian Ministry for 25 years. I work with those dealing with Trauma, Stress, Grief, Depression, Anxiety, and Relational difficulties.
I also treat Post-traumatic stress disorder. Treatment can help you regain a sense of control over your life. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) combines exposure therapy with a series of guided eye movements that help you reprocess traumatic memories and change how you react to past trauma.
