I started out working in college sports as a trainer and eventually began consulting with athletes and coaches after graduate school. My career path later took me through 10 years with an ambulance service, 2 years as a community service officer and 4 years as a crisis counselor embedded with a police department. I've also spent a considerable amount of time teaching psychology as a college professor. Because of this rather unique skill set, I have a heart for athletes, rescue workers and students.
You may understand exactly why you feel the way you do and still find yourself unable to change it. Anxiety, trauma, grief or a pattern from years ago can keep showing up even when you've tried hard to move forward. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified EMDR Therapist. Counseling is something I chose as a second career after a background in science and years as a writer.

My practice is unique because I provide a holistic, client centered approach. I will also work with your medical treatment team to coordinate care and be an available resource.
I am passionate about this work because it is my belief that we are all capable of healing and becoming the best version of ourselves despite any challenges that we may encounter throughout our journey to wholeness.
I believe therapy should be a space where you feel heard, understood, and accepted for who you are. I’m a compassionate and down-to-earth therapist who works collaboratively with clients to better understand what they’re experiencing and develop practical tools to help them feel more confident and in control of their lives.
I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families across a variety of settings, including community mental health and school-based environments.
My clinical experience includes supporting clients with anxiety, stress, emotional regulation, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, self-esteem, and difficulties navigating boundaries and communication.
I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already dealing with a lot. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where you can be yourself, work at a pace that feels comfortable, and feel like you have someone in your corner.

I have been a counselor for more than 30 years. I remain passionate about making a difference in the lives of others and believe that genuine caring is an essential element to an effective counseling relationship. Over the years I have worked with clients with significant trauma and loss. I consider it a privilege to stand with another individual as he or she resolves great pain. I specialize in treating clients with trauma, relationship issues, and borderline personality disorder.
I provide personalized and focused men's health that includes the psychological, biological, and spiritual domains of health and wellness. I am a dual board certified nurse practitioner in family medicine and psychiatry, so I understand and can treat the whole person. My doctoral studies focused on integrative medicine with an emphasis on men's health. I also have degrees in pastoral counseling and biblical exposition, so I am able to offer faith-forward mental health care for those who desire an integrated Christian experience.
I have been working as a clinician and an administrator for over 25 years. After gaining a Master's of Social Work, I worked in community mental health centers in Northern Arizona, Chicago, Missouri and Kansas. I have held roles as a case manager, therapist, clinical supervisor and an administrator overseeing operations of a community mental health center. Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to work at organizations across the country that focus on helping clients achieve wellness and balance in their lives. As a clinician, I am dedicated to providing personalized care to clients, and helping clients move towards wellness through the use of CBT, EMDR and other evidence based practices.
I look forward to meeting you and working with you.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or frustrated with patterns that don’t seem to change. Maybe anxiety is constant, depression has drained your motivation, ADHD is affecting your focus, or past trauma continues to resurface. You want clarity, stability, and relief — not just for today, but long term. You want to feel like yourself again, function better at school or work, and regain control of your emotions instead of feeling controlled by them.
