Greetings, I am a therapist who has more than 25 years of experience providing services to individuals, couples and families who are seeking growth and understanding as they navigate life challenges and opportunities. I believe that learning about our strengths will help us to resolve personal challenges and increase self awareness.

My specialties of couples therapy, aging clients, divorce adjustment and coparenting, and men's issues. . Most couples who attend will seek to improve their relational skills such as better communication, revitalized positive emotions toward each other, or to resolve conflicts. Frequently, families going through divorce will also seek support to deal with the challenges from resolving parenting or co-parenting issues, or improve live changes. For years I have worked with men's issues which range greatly from relational problems to attaining their goals of identity.

As a clinician I believe one can decide if an issue requires immediate action and change or if it can-or must-be accepted for what it is while they learn to make behavioral changes that can positively affect their situation. I work with my clients to start the healing process through their own self-talk, or the way they talk about traumatic events, problematic relationships, toxic behaviors, physical limitations or other issues. I work with my clients, as a team, to stop repeating thought patterns and behaviors that are contributing to negative, hurtful, and self-defeating issues.

Sometimes we feel buried, surrounded by walls that we can't break. My aspiration is to help my clients regain the power and hope they have lost, whether that is hope in their relationships, themselves, their careers, or battles with addiction. Sometimes we focus so heavily on the problems we are dealing with, we become clouded by nothing but the problem. My strength-based solution-focused approach helps clients learn to take small steps in the right direction to achieve their goals.

Oftentimes reaching out is the most difficult step in the healing process.

It is my belief that you are the expert on your own life and my role as a therapist is to collaborate on progress toward your growth and goals as you define them.

My approach to counseling is unique, as I utilize activities into my therapy sessions through sports, art, games, music, and many other activities, as a means of connecting with my clients. Children and teens are more comfortably open to their emotions and build a positive therapeutic relationship when engaging in fun activities.

As a therapist I utilize clinical interventions and techniques that are individualized to unique issues of the client. I have extensive training and experience in evidenced based treatments such as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). In addition, I am experienced in the use of brief therapy techniques such as solution focused therapy and narrative therapy. In my experience I find that an integration of clinical modalities is often most effective and appreciated by clients.
