"I'm nonsense-free and my approach is practical and proven. I have been practicing as a Licensed Therapist (LCSW) since 1998 and retired from the Air Force in Dec of 2016. I know that not everyone learns how to be well or how to manage difficulties in life but I know that everyone can learn these skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the interventions I offer and is very effective at learning how to manage emotional reactivity, anxiety and/or depression. If you're struggling in your marriage, I have 25 years of experience with couples. If you think you'd like to see what this is all about, let's set up a time to meet. "

"REAL. HONEST. RELATIONAL. AUTHENTIC. INTERACTIVE. SUPPORTIVE. INSIGHTFUL. SAFE. "

"I specialize in children, adolescents and their families. Conflicts within the home, school, or work place contribute to added stress, anxiety, depression and addictive behaviors. Problems adjusting to new family dynamics can be expressed by irritability, anger, or withdrawal. I will work with you to improve relationships between siblings, between children and parents, or between friends and colleagues. If your family is struggling with possible addictions and related issues, I have experience that may help. When you leave the first session, you will have some coping strategies to improve your situation. Take some positive steps towards a better future today."

"I work with young people (ages 3-25) to help them find their voice and learn how to communicate their thoughts and feelings.

Ultimately, I hope to become a small part of the constellation of support in my client's lives to help them achieve their own goals."

"I believe in helping people put the pieces back together. I specialize in trauma issues, self esteem, depression, sex addiction and sexual trauma. Often trauma has a long lasting, but unknown effect on people. Resolving trauma leads to previously unknown levels of fulfillment. When a persons self-esteem is well functioning, their relationships often are also connected and intimate. Sexual addiction is treated in a stigma-free manner. I treat my clients with dignity throughout the process and facilitate a shame-free recovery."

"Nearly 10 years ago, a horse came into my life and I was forever changed. That horse and the therapist with it, brought healing to my soul. The experience had a profoundly positive impact on my personal belief systems about myself and others, my views of my emotions and my confidence that I began my education to help others the way I was once helped."

"You have within you an amazing ability to transcend pain and fear even if you haven't yet discovered it. With effort and commitment, you can free that ability to heal wounds and increase resilience.

As relationship patterns become clearer, the potential to change them for the better can grow. On my website are reviews by clients and more about my experience and philosophy."
