When someone you love is struggling with mental health or substance use, it can take over your entire life. You may feel anxious, constantly on edge, and unsure what to do next. You might be asking yourself: Am I helping, or making things worse? When do I step in? How do I set limits without pushing them away? If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

I specialize in working with family members of individuals in crisis. While many providers focus on the person struggling, I focus on you—the parent, partner, or loved one trying to hold everything together. With over 10 years of experience in dual diagnosis treatment and clinical leadership, I help families understand what’s happening, respond more effectively, and create clear, realistic boundaries.

Therapist

Hello there, my number one priority is to see clients within 1 to 5 business days to begin the process of assisting them with a hot topic known as "Life-ing." Today, I consider myself blessed because I find it rewarding in seeing clients reach their maximum potential. In addition to my mental health background for over 28 years, I have my own life experiences, coupled with being married to a minister, motherhood, and personal trauma, which have proven to be beneficial in my scope of practice.

I have done extensive work with grief/loss, anxiety, relational, premarital, substance use, and Christian Counseling.
