"My kid is struggling. I don't know what to do, I just want them to go back to their normal self." This is a powerful sentiment for many concerned parents. Young adults and teenagers themselves often tell me, "I don't know what my next step is, I just feel stuck." These feelings can be isolating, but by looking for help, you're already taking those steps towards change. There's no shame in doing the best thing for your kids.

Marriage counseling is my area of specialty. I'm a marriage and family therapist who has made relationship dynamics my exclusive focus and expertise. I specialize in working with couples who have experienced infidelity in their marriage, where one partner has had an affair. I also work with communication blockages, fighting all the time, lack of intimacy, and loss of the "loving feeling" for each other. Please visit my webpage at Well Marriage Center to learn all about my philosophy and marriage-friendly approach (one- click link on the left under my picture).

I totally enjoy working with the various populations: probation substance use disorder; court order for DUI treatment; college students with anxiety/depression and life transition issues; and anyone that is wanting to learn how to correct thinking errors in order to change the outcome of their situations.

Every day stressors, fears and anxieties brought on by living in our changing world can take a toll and steal our joy. Talking to a counselor can help provide support and comfort.

I work with adults and adolescents who are experiencing challenges related to depression, anxiety, stress, transitions, and relationships. I also have experience working with expectant and new mothers struggling with depression and anxiety, and I have a special interest in supporting this population.

Overwhelmed students and young adults often wonder, “Will someone have the experience to help me through this without making me feel even worse than I do about the way things have turned out?” or “ If I can just get through these next crucial years everything might be ok, but for now I am not sure how or even if that can happen.” 13-24 year olds are faced with a challenging game of constant decision making, competitive peer environments, and finish lines that appear to move further away. Families and loved ones also get swept up in the pressure of watching young people in their lives encounter diverse and time sensitive obstacles.

"Worried Well" describes those who are dealing with life the best they can in spite of anxious thoughts, depressed moods, overwhelming stress, or grieving. Juggling demands of work and home, struggling with relationships or divorce or a loved one's addiction, or experiencing significant losses can make anyone doubt life will get better. Some feel guilty or selfish for experiencing these thoughts and feelings. Many question God or harbor anger and resentment toward others. Some are simply numb and can no longer find joy in the journey. You are not alone!

Therapy is a process that begins with building a healthy therapeutic relationship. I offer my clients warmth,respect,compassion,honesty and humor so they can work to resolve trauma and painful experiences,develop new and healthier patterns in relationships,increase their understanding of themselves,or find ways to cope with and overcome obstacles like depression,anxiety,substance abuse,and low self esteem. I work with adults,families and couples. I also have a special interest in helping adolescents and their families manage the challenges of the teen years.

I support individuals and couples longing to connect with each other and themselves. Beneath your fights about dishes are valid needs that deserve to be heard, seen, and valued. I also work with individuals navigating recovery from high-control childhoods and romantic relationships, including religious trauma and your loved ones with personality disorders like BPD. Let's explore who YOU are and what you authentically want outside those institutions and relationships. Attachments, grief, identity processing, and trauma work are uncomfortable parts of the human experience. We'll work together to see how they show up in your life.

Finding the right therapist, someone who really gets you - without judgment - can feel daunting.

I work with school-aged children, teens, and adults and especially enjoy helping parents develop effective strategies to address concerns about their children's behavioral, developmental, and mental health challenges.

Are you feeling apprehensive about starting your therapeutic journey? I understand! I will take the time to get to know you as an individual in order to best support your needs. I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and sometimes it just takes a little support from a neutral party to work through challenges.

A good therapist will partner with you and help you feel empowered to take on whatever life throws at you.

Sometimes you just need a safe place to land. Sometimes the activity and busyness in our daily lives are poor substitutions for intimate connections. Intimacy in relationships are the balm to our hurting hearts. Relationships are the sutures to our open wounds. Creating a safe, sacred space, and deep, quiet listening is the fertile soil needed for authentic sharing, deepening intimacy and healing. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over thirty-five years of clinical experience, I offer individual, couple, and group psychotherapy. Upon client request, I offer to integrate their spirituality in the healing process.

I enjoy working with individuals who are seeking change in their lives and are looking to find a different way of viewing their circumstances. In looking for change, I find satisfaction in helping clients who are open to feedback and working as a team to develop and utilize techniques that make sense to the individual and their life.

Creating harmony between our personal life, work, or school can help us feel hopeful, and secure in who we are. Using a person centered, holistic, and culturally sensitive approach, my goal is to help others discover healthy ways to manage their stress. I share practical tools to help others get through their day to day stressors. I may also assign homework in between sessions, such as applying and practicing mindfulness based techniques, or facing a fear or difficult task you may be avoiding or struggling with.
