 Does life feel like you are stuck on merry-go-round with no way off?   Excessive worry, repetitive feelings of sadness or loneliness can feel heavy.   Work pressures, loss of a loved one, reliving harmful memories can cause stress that affect every aspect of our lives.  Arguing constantly with partner, dealing with an infidelity, or healing from family conflict are exhausting. Talking through the concerns can help but it’s hard to share deep personal concerns with family or friends.  Healing and growth happen in an environment that nurtures exploration, growth, and compassion.  
 
My mission is to help people build the life and relationships they desire.  This is done through active listening, learning to see positives, building on strengths, healing emotional ruptures, and learning new coping tools to deal with irrational thoughts that keeps you spinning out of control. Individuals find new ways to build paths that create joy and freedom in their life.  Couples struggling with communication learn better ways to share thoughts to connect and learn how to understand their partners perspective.  I provide individualized treatment based on each
individual or couple’s need.  In our work together will explore perceptions and interactions.  Discuss opportunities for growth and revisit values. Focus on understanding your partner’s needs, learning to communicate better, building trust, and resolving conflict faster.  This creates a deeper emotional bond which increases intimacy.  I view counseling as opportunity to begin an amazing journey.  
 
Specializations include anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, mood disorders, marriage counseling, couples counseling, pre-marital counseling, overcoming infidelity, and support for life transitions, such as retirement,
divorce, separation, or recovery from a major illness.  Creating a healthy therapeutic relationship in which every member in counseling feels heard, supported, and safe is what I provide in every session.  I look for ways to strengthen and promote the welfare of my clients.  My style is based on the three C’s: Care, Compassion, and Collaboration.  
 
Background:  I earned a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from George Fox University. I am a Nationally Certified Counselor,   I also have Masters in Business Administration from Marylhurst University.  
 
I became interested in human behavior after taking several psychology courses my senior year of high school.  My undergraduate and graduate degrees focused on organizational development and marketing, which allowed me to
explore behavior from a holistic and analytical perspective.  My business career spans 23 years and
encompasses relationship, marketing, and project management. I have worked in the Banking, E-commerce and Advertising industries.  I have seen the impact of mergers and layoffs.  Watched couples’ struggle balancing careers, family, and relationships.  In 2013, I decided to follow my passion and become a professional counselor.
