I am passionate about providing encouragement and guidance to individuals, couples, and families seeking to create change and heal in a safe space. I work from a systemic perspective, which considers how all aspects of your life may influence current challenges and well-being.

Together, we can collaborate to create sustainable change with clear goals and outcomes for the therapy process.

You've been coping with life, but have hit a few road bumps on the journey in life or maybe you are grappling with some ongoing issues that you want to move past. I believe I can assist you in making some changes from minor life adjustments to major transformations. I have 33 years of experience in counseling people from ages 15 to 79 who have a variety of issues. Additionally, I've been a school counselor and provided individual and group therapy at a psychiatric hospital. I have extensive knowledge of eating disorders, psychiatric medications, addictions, grief/loss, relationship dynamics, LGBTQ issues, infertility and disability.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I seek to provide a comfortable and nonjudgmental environment to work through life’s challenges. I offer support to individuals, couples, and families by promoting vulnerability, healing and connection. I utilize evidence based approaches that are clinically shown to improve relationships. Through a comprehensive assessment, I seek to understand how personal experiences, family history, culture, spirituality, sexual orientation, gender identity & expression, race, life stage, and relationship patterns influence well being and current challenges.

Throughout my education and work experiences, I have discovered my passion in helping adolescent and adult clients through individual, couples, and family therapy. Relationships are a beautiful, challenging, complex part of our lives. I enjoy helping people work through relationship issues, unique family dynamics, and communication difficulties. Whether you are looking to process a past relationship, or work through a current dilemma, I am here to support you and your loved ones using whatever techniques you vibe with the most.

Have you ever experienced a difficulty that left you feeling isolated? Or a relationship that just didn’t make sense? These are all parts of being human but can leave us feeling unsettled, disconnected, confused, and hurt. I genuinely enjoy connecting with people, hearing their stories, and helping them through the hard times. Above all else, I find it important to create a safe space for my clients to feel secure enough to speak openly and show the more vulnerable parts of themselves. I do this by creating an environment of trust based on direct and authentic communication.

At Dynamic Counseling and Coaching Solutions we believe whole people connecting with one another enhances the well-being of the family and the community. Similarly, people living and working together as whole communities will make the world better for all of us. Additionally, we all need places where we can speak without fear of judgement or rejection. When these needs are met, barriers to growth and well being can be removed. Our goal is to provide an environment that fosters the kind of individual growth that comes from intentional change by promoting health, healing and restoration.

Both may need various clinical treatments which include therapies such as Interpersonal Social Rhythm Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (Couples & Family), Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT) or trauma oriented skills such as Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Hypnosis, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) - Feeling-State Addiction Therapy, Relaxation & Mindfulness.
