I have been working in counseling and mental health for over 30 years. In my practice, I work with both couples and individuals. Currently, I mainly work with couples using Gottman Method Couples Therapy. I like to focus on specific changes that my clients want in their lives, build on skills and mitigate the impact of old emotional and behavioral habits that no longer serve life as it is now. It is important to look at all aspects of life: mental, emotional, behavioral and spiritual; quality of relationships, even diet and exercise, in building a positive, satisfying and fulfilling life.

As a practicing Licensed Mental Health counselor for the past 25 years, I fundamentally believe in an individual's innate capacity to heal, grow and thrive. My practice is strengths-based and focuses on assisting people in recognizing and maximizing their skills and abilities. I am privileged to assist clients in achieving their full potential and capacity to lead creative and fulfilling lives.

Sessions with me will include open and honest conversations about your past and present while of course exploring and helping you to create your hopes for the future. I begin helping you, or you and your partner, from an understanding that growth and change can be both scary and exciting. I meet my clients wherever they are, and work with them in a non-judgmental and supportive manner to build a life of meaning, both in relationship to themselves and in relationship to others.

Are you concerned about your own or someone else's substance use or addictive behavior?

If you think you may have a problem and are ready to create happiness, peace, confidence with my support and help, contact me. There is hope!

Serving as a minister and earning a PhD in Counseling Psychology equipped me to care for people in crises. Working with vulnerable children and their families or caregivers, also proved to be a valuable foundation for clinical care. In a medical academic setting, training residents in the use of spirituality and psychology as they cared for their patients, deepened my own understanding of just how complex clinical issues can become. This also increased my understanding of the level of stress healthcare providers and victims themselves experience during illness.

As a licensed psychotherapist and coach specializing in loss and transition, I support people of all ages before, during and after serious loss by: Providing practical tools for coping with serious illness, death, divorce, retirement and other life transitions, allowing the pain of loss to serve as an opportunity for positive change. Facing loss can remind us of what we value most providing opportunity to consciously make choices that re- affirm these values in all aspects of our lives. Over time, this process of reaffirming and recreating our lives reveals the skills, gifts and talents we bring to the world.

Not too many people enjoy change and these past few years have been nothing but a roller coaster! I'd enjoy the opportunity to talk with you and understand how you're doing.

You want to break free from painful relationship issues, self-defeating behaviors, and just feeling "stuck." The wonderful thing about therapy is that it provides you with a sense of relief - with hope that things CAN get better - by giving you a safe, respectful and non-judgmental space to speak freely about what is troubling you, or what is painful in your relationship. I work to create a safe, respectful and supportive environment that alleviates feelings of aloneness, and facilitates connection, awareness, healing and positive change.

The intention I have is to explore with you your desire to have a more healthy balance in the emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical aspects of your life.

Your happiness and freedom is my goal. My hope is to create together an atmosphere of safety, respect and trust. My focus is to encourage my clients' exploration of their own personal power, wisdom and resources for understanding, healing and happiness.

I offer a safe and compassionate space to explore the issues that matter most to you. Sessions might involve us talking about what's currently going on, while also taking time for you to pay attention to how you physically experience your emotions and what those emotions are trying to tell you. We will work to welcome all of your experience. Symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression etc. are communicating something, and together we can get curious and listen. I believe that each person has the truth inside them and therapy can be a place to discover and honor that truth. I currently meet with clients through video or phone sessions.
