About
My experience with helping individuals and families overcome difficult challenges is my passion. I believe that it easier to find and build upon one's strengths than it is to focus primarily on fixing problems. Much of my time in therapy is spent on discovering creative solutions rather than talking too long just about what is wrong. I often involve the whole family and believe that every person is unique and requires an individualized approach. One size does not fit all. Please call me or email today discuss your needs and hopes and/or to set an appointment time.
Many individuals overcome the odds and do well in the face of great stress or trauma. I specialize in building resiliency in children, adolescents and adults. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, and a Licensed Professional Counselor to help direct your path toward a more fulfilling, manageable life.
I have experience and often utilize my Therapy Dog International, along with Equine Therapy, or other animal assisted interventions. I have been trained in Play Therapy along with ample knowledge and understanding of Co-Occurring addictions/substance abuse, and eating disorders.
