As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I offer services to adults and adolescents, individually, in couples or as a family. I use a systemic model of treatment designed to meet a client's specific goals to improve his or her quality of life by fostering change using internal and external resources. I provide therapy for most mental health related problems including depression and anxiety, grief and loss, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, addictions, family and relationship, divorce, anger management, parenting, blended family, child and adolescent issues, trauma and abuse. My hours are flexible and include evenings and Saturdays.

My approach to providing therapy is guided by the person that is receiving the service. Every persons situation and need is different, therefore I believe various approaches are needed to address life's problems. I was led to work in this field at the start in dealing with my own life's concerns. I have and continue to work on myself as a person, so that I can be the best person I can be. This in return becomes a gift that my clients can receive in return. We can only take our clients as far as we have gone. In my practice I hold space for the four basic realms of the human journey - Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, Spiritual.

Therapy is an ongoing conversation that can be scary to get started. Just looking at therapist profiles means you’ve made the first step toward entering the conversation. Could I be the right fit for you? As a practitioner I create a safe space for all people and will meet you where you are at. My style is nonjudgmental, honest, expressive, direct, at times humorous, and always compassionate, even when I gently encourage the discovery of new realizations. You are whole and complete and have all the answers inside of you. Together we will find ways to access those answers by developing new skills and building on your strengths.
