I have 30 years working with Individuals, Couples and Families as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist as well as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I am a Certified Rapid Resolution Therapist. I am passionate about helping people achieve balanced and healthy lives.

I believe respect for others, along with compassion and humor provide an ideal environment in which clients can express themselves.

I provide a welcoming, respectful and collaborative space for clients to come and seek to understand themselves better. On the journey of life, we all have times of transition, difficulties and relationship issues. I seek to empower my clients into greater self-awareness, trusting that each person has the answers to their questions within themselves. Through an integrative approach to psychotherapy and with the ability to integrate spirituality if important to the client, I actively listen as the client moves toward integration, healing and wholeness in mind, body and spirit.

If you can change your thoughts you can change your world. I believe that our day to day thoughts directly dictate our emotions and ultimately our decisions and actions. Whether it is childhood trauma, adult anxiety or postpartum depression, we can take captive every self-defeating thought and turn that negative narrative into a powerful and hopeful future. Regaining control over our thoughts and actions can provide such lasting peace and happiness. My focus is to thoroughly get to know my patients, by listening to and trying my best to understand their unique experiences, while working collaboratively toward agreed upon goals.

I believe life is a journey. It is full of ups & downs, good & hard things. How we deal & cope with these experiences is what can make the journey a positive challenge. My ultimate goals in providing therapy to clients are to assist them in their ability to cope & deal with what life throws them, the easy & the challenging; & assist them in their own personal growth along their journeys.

Sometimes life makes it feel like there are limited options, and our feelings can be overwhelming. However, in the face of pain and suffering, we have the power to choose how to engage with these hardships. There is freedom to choose our responses, and moving forward with committed action is empowering. I would be happy to collaborate with you in the therapeutic process, to explore feelings, learning coping skills, and maintain healthy responses. In life we may feel content being still, making lateral moves, or at times pivoting. As we navigate your views of self, thriving, living we can face carpe diem, pluck the day.
