Do your emotions ever feel so overwhelming that they start to run the show?
Does change make you feel overwhelmed or scary to the point you want to shut
out the world?
Are you or your family navigating major transitions such as divorce, remarriage, or blending families?
Are you part of a military family struggling to reconnect while adjusting to moves, deployments, or periods of separation?
Life changes are difficult. We all go through things in life that are overwhelming. Some people seeking help are struggling with the loss of a loved one. At the same time, others are dealing with changes in family dynamics and family stressors. My goal is to help address these emotions and experiences. I work with a variety of mental health and emotional issues, including:
- anxiety
- anger
- depression
- sleep difficulties
- relationship transitions
- separation, divorce
- new marriage
- new parents/ step-parents
- loss of family member or friend
- family of military and active-duty members
- deployment
- adjustment after deployment
- self-esteem, self-worth
Life Transitions
Life is full of transitions. Some are exciting, and others can feel overwhelming. If you are feeling anxious, lonely, or unsure about what comes next, you are not alone. I am here to support you as you navigate life’s ups and downs by helping you uncover your strengths, build resilience, and grow confidence in your ability to cope with change.
Healthy relationships are a important for emotional well-being. Together, we will explore what healthy relationships look and feel like, while also learning how to set boundaries that protect your peace and support your growth.
With the right tools, support, and mindset, managing life’s challenges becomes not only possible, but empowering.
Blended Families: Finding Connection in the Chaos
Blending families can be both rewarding and challenging, especially when anger, frustration, and misunderstandings arise. I work with individuals and families as they navigate the complexities of step-parenting and parenting angry or disconnected teens.
For step-parents, it can feel difficult — even impossible — to build a bond with a child who sees you as an outsider. For step-children, it may feel like their world is being taken over by someone they did not choose. These feelings are normal, but they do not have to define your family’s future.
I help blended families create healthy boundaries, improve communication, and build meaningful connections. Together, we work toward creating a home where every member feels heard, respected, and valued.

An Integrated Approach to Healing and Growth
I use a variety of therapeutic tools to meet each client’s unique needs. My primary approach is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which helps individuals better understand and manage their emotions while building healthier relationships.
I also incorporate Motivational Interviewing to support personal growth and inspire meaningful change, along with trauma-informed care to ensure a safe, compassionate space for healing.
For clients who are interested, I offer Christian counseling as an additional layer of spiritual support on their journey.
