I have learned that no one is immune to mental health stress, trauma, OR substance abuse. Most really can find recovery and wellness. In 2000, I began my career providing counseling services in a treatment center and have continued to specialize in coping methods vs. "using." Relationships are sacred. I work with all arrangements of families (CNM & polyamory). Expert family/couples counseling requires expert training. The Gottman Method is taught in three levels and I completed all three in 2017. My intensive couples approach is successful in improving communication and provides many tools and results in a reasonable time frame.
I believe that everyone has the ability to change, grow and maximize their quality of life. Whether the concerns are related to adjustment, depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, chemical dependency, marriage or relationship issues, I can provide tools that reveal many paths to wellness. With time, my clients discover the serenity of their own solutions.
Because "vulnerability is the most accurate measurement of courage," (Brene Brown), I love to support and witness the change that comes from authentic participation in counseling. I take a dynamic client-centered approach and want to work for you. I enjoy the process and listening for the keys you already have to help yourself. Tele-health is available.

Besides counseling, my 18yrs of social work in a local emergency department has taught me to take a serious and measured approach to all concerns. In terms of interventions, safety and free will must drive discussions. Relationship work is grounded in the same concepts. Emotional safety is the focus before any topics are opened. The Gottman model lines up with it's directive to avoid "flooding."

My approach to therapy is considered eclectic, which means that it is typically a mix of several modalities incorporating many elements. I practice modifying my style to support the client and it is primarily based on a "person-centered, strength-based approach." I believe that people do their best with what they have. My role is to listen and support your discovery of your strengths.
