I see adult individuals and male/female couples (premaritally and maritally). I specialize in attachment, emotional maturation, and trauma recovery with individuals (primarily men) . I also do a sizeable amount of addictions recovery or relapse prevention work with men. Maritally, I often work from an Emotionally Focused approach. In Christian Counselling, I utilize The Life Model/Thrive/HeartSync/Immanuel processes in understanding & assessing brain skills and trauma recovery needs. I also help new private practitioners set up their businesses and develop their clientele successfully. Please call for a consultation.

Much like other relationships, experience of therapy is co-created by the client and the therapist. I see the job of the therapist as providing a safe environment where the client has the time and space to make sense of their life experiences and maintain a sense of self as worthy of acceptance, kindness, and care.

Hard doesn’t have to mean bad, and it never means hopeless. In the middle of everything we face we can discover meaning in our lives and find a reason and the strength to push through difficult times. I know the way hardship and suffering shapes our lives; life is hard and you might be moving through a season of change, facing questions that don’t have easy answers, or feeling weighed down by patterns that no longer serve you. You may feel like a stranger to yourself—adrift between who you were and who you’re becoming.
