How can we have more peace, resiliency, and deeper connection in our relationships? How do we reduce anxiety, depression, harmful or addictive behaviors? We often wonder how or if it is even possible to change life-long patterns that have limited our potential and growth. Research indicates (as well as my personal and professional experience) two, very powerful approaches to change and healing that provide long-term results: the spiritual Recovery model and Emotionally-Focused therapy. Both approaches, coupled with an honest willingness to change, and an experienced therapist, hits the "bullseye" on the target for effective change!

Life is hard! No way around it. Many people are looking for change, peace, love, hope, or even a rekindling of old passions.

Having gone through many diverse experiences in my life I believe that I have the ability to empathize with what you're going through. In addition, my education, training, and experience has afforded me the knowledge and ability to assist you in finding the happy ending you are seeking.

By the end of each appointment with me, I want you to feel like you’ve been heard and that you’ve gained something valuable, whether that’s new coping skills or an improved sense of peace or strength.

My training is in grief and trauma-related symptoms like anxiety, depression, PTSD, self-harm, and suicidality.
