Getting to know my clients and their challenges makes my work as a Marriage and Family Therapist both rewarding and stimulating.

As this process evolves, a sense of confidence and security develops within, creating a more peaceful life.

We all struggle from time to time with areas of our lives that can seem overwhelming or out of control. A collaborative relationship between a caring therapist and client can ease and minimize the stresses that arise from these times. I work with clients to discover and understand the inner parts of ourselves that need attention and healing during these times.Helping clients connect with their own sense of self and build on that strength is both rewarding and enlightening as we travel the journey of healing and rebuilding together.My client centered therapy is geared towards the respect, comfort and safety of the individual.

**Limited availability for new clients**Strength doesn't come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn't. Taking the first step to reach out to a therapist is no easy task and I want to help you recognize that you're doing something big by just looking at my profile to consider if we might be a good fit. Some areas that I'm especially passionate about are supporting those with loved ones with addictions, parents of children with special needs and those going through life transitions such as relationship changes, career changes and blended families.
