WHO DO I SERVE?
It is my goal to serve families, couples, and individuals experiencing any of the following issues: anxiety, trauma, stress, guilt, post traumatic reaction, panic attacks, disturbing memories, depression, confusion, anger, mood swings, personality disorders, ineffective communication styles, self-esteem, life transitions, contemplation of divorce, marriage recovery after an affair, and other relationship difficulties. Furthermore, premarital counseling and business coaching services are offered.

MY SERVICE PURPOSE
Be encouraged! My purpose is for you to experience peace, hope, and renewal instead of relational difficulties, anxiety, turmoil, and depression. You no longer have to feel trapped, helpless, or inadequate. As a Christian counselor, I wholeheartedly believe the words of Isaiah 61:3 that the Lord will give "A crown of beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and a garment of praise for a spirit of despair.

At Serenity Marriage and Family Counseling, LLC you will learn coping skills to use in difficult situations and create more calm in your daily life. You will explore practical solutions and begin to separate yourself from your negative thoughts and emotions. Therefore, you will learn how to 'respond' instead of 'react'.

Are you contemplating divorce? We will process through communication issues, intimacy, trust, and bonding with your partner again. You do not have to feel like strangers in the same home. We will gain practical ways to connect in a more intimate and healthy manner as well as ways to better prioritize the relationship.

MY TREATMENT STYLE
I am an EMDR trained Christian therapist. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, focuses on healing the symptoms and emotional distress that comes from disturbing past and present experiences or trauma. This techniques is great for individuals with trauma and negative self-talk and beliefs.

I also use CBT techniques to change negative belief patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing dysfunctional thinking, behavior, and emotional responses. Therefore, EMDR and CBT decrease symptoms such as nightmares, nervousness, negative self-talk, and recurring self-defeating patterns of behavior, thinking, and emotional responses.

For couples we practice communication skills, process practical steps to rebuild intimacy, establish rituals of connection, and rebuild trust. I believe it is important to have a whole person model. Therefore, I incorporate aspects of the mind, body, and spirit to assist in change.
