I provide a warm, safe and confidential environment for people to explore life's challenges to create positive changes and healing in their life. I focus on client strengths and their goals, and provide strategies for handling conflict, communication, anxiety, and problem-solving.

My specialties include trauma, anxiety, stress, marriage counseling, women's issues, coping with medical trauma, healing from religious trauma and support reconstructing spiritual belief systems as desired. I am an EMDRIA approved consultant, providing a wide range of effective treatments, and provide consultation to other professionals on a regular basis.

My passion is working with individuals and couples, and enjoy watching others’ growth. As a seasoned therapist, I continue to look for a variety of tools to support clients. I understand the difficulties that can occur in life, and collaborate with clients to support them through the changes they desire.

I work with a variety of clients who are desiring growth in particular areas. I do not use a cookie-cutter approach, but rather collaborate with you to create a plan that meets your needs. Most of my clients experience a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month, and sustained improvement over time. I do not require weekly sessions, but work with you to create a plan that works for you.
