I enjoy working with couples and individuals to find their strengths, to help them communicate more effectively with their loved ones and partners, and to resolve issues that may be limiting each client's potential. I'm a direct, empathic counselor; I use humor, reality, and kindness to reflect back to clients. I'm invested in working toward your goals at your pace. I have a special love for couples and parenting issues and have worked with those issues for more than 26 years. I also have a special place in my heart for the families, patients, and caregivers of people living with chronic or terminal illnesses.
My practice is part of a collaborative group of providers, Compass Counseling & Wellness, PLLC. We are a group of independent providers, sharing office space,using a collaborative approach to mental health & wellness services to provide clients with the most personalized, caring, & effective options for individuals, families, couples & group treatment.
