I enjoy working with Individuals, Couples, Families and relationships in the business world both federal and civilian.
I have been developing policies and procedures for dealing with court systems in areas such as domestic violence, truancy and other familial issues. My PhD is in Marriage and Family Systems.
With a long standing history of helping people get to the root of what an issue or problem actually is, we can then begin the solution process. Many therapists tell you what you want to hear, but I tell you in a soft and comfortable way... what you NEED to hear.
I have been blessed to be featured on television multiple times with familial topics including stress, parenting, suicide, and many other systemic issues. I have worked in the court system as an expert witness and even testified to the senate on behalf of families. I have no fear in speaking the truth when no one else will.
Inquisitive compassion and honest help. Therapy shouldn't be a long term solution, because its not. Therapy should open you up to new thoughts, feelings and healing, as a good therapist walks with you towards change and solutions.
