"I see children, adolescents, and adults in individual therapy who are struggling with a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, relationship problems, life cycle challenges, and trauma. At times the way people try to cope with and manage their past or present difficulties create additional barriers to feeling good, and fulfilling their hopes and goals. As a conscientious, professional, and compassionate clinician, I strive to provide a therapeutic relationship in which together we can think about, understand and help you work through those feelings and thoughts that are troubling, confusing and worrisome, and are perhaps getting in your way."

"I love working with couples and men motivated to look within at what isn't working well, admit they don't know how to cross the chasm, ask for guidance in working through challenges more effectively, and commit to the work. With couples, positive outcomes come from looking within first. Often what appear to be pointless arguments today are simply our past trauma and dysfunctional thinking. Affairs, infidelity, addictions, and anger showing up in relationships are much less about that relationship and more about being subject to poor parenting/trauma early in life. It's not your fault. It is your responsibility to resolve it now."

"Change is one of the most difficult things that we do. Whether you're beginning your change or in the middle of change it can feel like you're moving heaven and earth. We act out of old, familiar ways, many which were we took on as children to protect us from the traumas of those times. Giving up those old coping mechanisms is like asking us to put down our shields in the middle of a battle although those circumstances have past long ago. They still feel real at some level so we hold onto those old ways of being even if they create more problems than they protect us from. "

"I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families in transition. I believe we can all get stuck, either during the expected transitions in life (e.g., adolescence, leaving home, relationships, marriage, parenthood, career changes, remarriage, stepfamilies, empty nests, health issues), as well as the unexpected losses, trails and traumas we may experience along the way. My goal is to create a safe, supportive and challenging atmosphere where you can discover new insights about your present, as well as your past, so you can move forward with more peace and clarity."

"If you would like to feel better than you typically do, you may long for the comfort of talking to an accepting person who truly gets it.

My counseling style is very individualized, with sensitivity to your unique feelings and needs."

"Kids and teens have a unique set of issues and challenges. Empathy, support, and a special skill set is needed to thrive during childhood and into adulthood.

As I work with Veterans and couples, I combine my professional training with life experience to bring a wholistic approach to treatment. "
