Our Team

I am a licensed professional and supervisor with a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Harding University.   I have completed training for EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and BSP (Brainspotting) , specialty trainings for assisting clients with multiple issues, including PTSD, anxiety and depression. EMDR and BSP are techniques used within the context of other therapeutic modalities. They allow individuals the opportunity to desensitize traumatic memories and fearful responses and to develop new realities about themselves and their experiences. I have additional training as a CSAT and CMAT that equips me to assist in addressing the therapeutic issues that arise from sexual addictions and partner traumas as well as issues regarding financial disorders. I am EFT trained, which is a way of understanding relationships that draws from theories of attachment with the goal of creating healthy attachment in relationships. 

I focus on working with anxiety, trauma, addictions, and relational challenges, helping people and couples find safety, renewed hope, and connection with themselves and the important people in their life.  I have a keen interest in fostering the development of attachment between parents and children, in individuals and between couples.   I work primarily with adolescents and adults.  

I bring significant life experience into my practice.  I have been married for 34 years and have 4 adult children.  As a young mother, I spent 17 years volunteering with mothers and infants to foster attachment and healthy parenting between mother and child.  I am passionate about recovery, hope, and redemption and sharing a path to health with clients.  Therapy creates a space for safe exploration of truths, hurts, and shame that we hold deep within our soul. It creates a chance to be empathically witnessed and heard.  It allows for the exploration of self and our deepest need to trust ourselves as we reach outward for connection with others.  It encourages us to move toward healthy interactions with self and with others. It provides a structure for moving out of addiction and onto a path of hope, recovery, and redemption.  It is my privilege to walk alongside those who are courageous enough to pursue healthy change.
