I have been in practice since 1984. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families on a variety of issues. Among these are marital and family issues, relationship issues, depression and anxiety, spiritual concerns, life phase problems, and work difficulties. I believe in the value of the individual, and consider therapy a partnership between myself and my clients, with the goal of a more balanced, fulfilling life for my clients.
I am a certified pastoral counselor, as well as being an LMFT and LCMHC-S. I see each person as an individual, as part of a family, and as a person with a particular set of spiritual beliefs. I draw on each of these perspectives in working with persons.
As a pastoral counselor my goal is to integrate the wisdom of faith with the knowledge of psychology. My intent is not to tell someone what they must believe, but to try and help person's use the strengths found in their own faith journey to further their healing.
