My experiences have come from working in a variety of settings including community agencies, inpatient substance abuse treatment, residential treatment, hospitals, military installations, and private practice.

Everyone experiences difficulties throughout their lives and often times it is hard to ask for help. I approach therapy from an insight-orientated perspective which allows each client to discover their own path to healing while being guided and encouraged through goal setting, validation, and accountability. My ideal clients are those that like to be challenged and strive for long-standing changes in their lives, but also understand that therapy is a process and takes time.

Does life sometimes feel overwhelming? Do you or your child have a difficult time engaging in or completing everyday tasks? Does it seem like nobody understands what you’re going through? Sometimes children or adults experience situations in their life, past or present which can have a significant impact on their life, overall daily functioning and relationships. These situations can leave them feeling sad, angry, withdrawn, shameful, unmotivated or a variety of other emotions. These feelings and behaviors can be confusing for anyone and that is where therapy can help.

Most of my work is with individual teens and adults, and with marriages and families. My strength is in creating a comfortable fit and a clear goal and direction in the therapy work. I have a warm, caring style, with emphasis on clarifying the problems in your life, looking for practical solutions, and focusing on your inner emotional experience for clues as to how we can best find pathways to healing. I am interactive, giving feedback and recommendations. I am passionate about making a difference in my clients' lives and personalizing the therapy sessions to your needs.

I would love to see each individual experiencing life at their full potential. I also understand that there are many things that can get in the way of that. I strive to create a safe, comfortable, empowering and creative environment in which my clients can work towards their individual goals.
