As a family systems therapist, I view clients from the perspective of their holistic environment. Together we will look at where you are coming from, and where you want to go. I work with clients between 13-80 experiencing anxiety, depression, anger, grief, loss, trauma, relationship issues, marital conflict, family conflict, major life adjustments, adolescent issues, parenting issues, men’s issues, and more. I also work with couples and families to improve their communication and enhance relationships. There is a soft spot in my heart for teens, young families, couples, men, and those who grieve.

We’re going to play to your strengths. And we will borrow from the wisdom and successes of those who have gone before us to find ways for you to become unstuck. Some of my favorite treatment methods are Attachment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Structural Family Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. Spiritual or Faith integration is available.

You’ll find me laid back, curious, and willing to sit with you in whatever you’re experiencing. Clients often report feeling safe, validated, and ready to face whatever is coming next from a place of preparedness. If that sounds like a good fit for you, let’s set up an Intake Session and get to work! Immediate openings for in-person and virtual sessions.
