A trained therapist that can help with relationships, which include couples and marriage counseling and couples co-dependency. I enjoy helping people with stress and anxiety issues as well as relapse prevention and drug and alcohol recovery counseling.

I have had good and bad times in recovery but a clean and sober life beats "using" any day !

All people are innately good and have the ability to heal themselves. Stressors are ever present in our everyday lives and are manifested through multiple ways. While these stressors can be the genesis of our problems, they are also the catalyst to starting the healing process. After making the decision to seek counseling and wellness care, the second most critical step is who will provide this care. At Westwind Counseling & Wellness we operate from a strong multicultural perspective providing time honored psychotherapy but with a focus on your whole health guided by the core values of Resiliency, Empowerment and Restoration.

Above all, my over three decades of professional experience has taught me that central to one's sense of happiness and well being is the nature and quality of her or his human relationships. As a psychologist and psychotherapist, I am guided by this truth as I work with my clients.

I have been a human being for 61 years, a practicing psychotherapist for 19. I invite you to stand shoulder to shoulder with me in our journey to ease your suffering and achieve your goals. Therapy offers many possibilities- seeing old problems in a new and open way, being more alive in the world, celebrating the possibility of wonder, or learning more effective strategies for relating. This means exploring and addressing various kinds of dilemmas and pain. It may simply mean support with your creative process, or more commonly, with the feeling that you are “stuck”.

As a therapist, I feel strongly that trust and open honest communication are vital to establishing the necessary bond that needs to form between therapist and client. This trusting bond makes our work time a safe space to comfortably express your feelings and work on exploration of ways to feel stronger, healthier, more confident and WHOLE! I work hard to accommodate your expectations. I have extensive experience working with those struggling with anxiety and depression. I specialize in couples/marriage counseling.

Not currently accepting new patients. If you are wanting to experience more inner peace, self awareness, and happiness I am here to help you on that path. If you are living with mental illness, or struggling with difficult transitions in your life; relationships, work, stress, depression, anxiety, grief or loss I can help. Your therapy is tailored to your specific emotional and mental health needs.

Has life become overwhelming,stressful,filled with anxiety or depression? My approach is empathetic, compassionate listening in a safe, supportive, judgement-free environment that fosters a sense of self and personal growth. Together we will seek to discover coping strategies to face and overcome life's challenges. Together we will seek to move forward and heal.

I believe that we all have the power to change our lives by identifying and connecting with our true values and letting this guide our actions instead of our fears. Clients who suffer from depression, anxiety, and trauma related symptoms can learn how to shift their focus from negative thoughts and behaviors toward a more fulfilling relationship with themselves and others. Utilizing a trauma-informed and mindful approach I help clients develop their own treatment goals and make lasting behavioral and emotional changes.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years experience helping individuals and families from all backgrounds.

I will actively listen and offer suggestions on your journey. Together we can identify issues, barriers and solutions to your problems.

**Telehealth offered.** I utilize various therapeutic approaches in helping you develop the goals that are important to you whether it is for your individual or couple counseling needs. I believe therapy is a partnership which focuses on healing, skill building and positive change for a fuller life. I am committed in helping my clients build the tools necessary to gain insight, problem solve, and heal from past emotional injuries and relationship problems. By offering a trusting, non-judgmental atmosphere, a strong therapeutic relationship is able to grow, allowing you to feel supported in making the necessary changes in your life.

If you are feeling stuck in behaviors or attitudes that limit your ability to live a fuller life or impact your relationships, Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) can help you achieve the changes you desire. IFS is the framework I use to help individuals and couples move from where they are stuck into a more desirable way of relating and being internally, with their partner, family and in the world. In my 30 + years of practice I have found that IFS is the most gentle yet profound way to guide people in this transformation. IFS is a radically different way of understanding what happens inside of ourselves.

Welcome and congratulations on finding the strength to engage in a partnership that will allow you to experience life in a more meaningful manner. Through counseling, you will sense positive changes and develop skills that lead to greater insight and foster healing. In this safe, trusting, non-judgmental atmosphere, we will build a strong therapeutic and supportive relationship that allows you work toward your goals.

We all come into this world wired to be happy, productive, connected people. Along the way, we learn from successes and disappointments, early relationships and experiences, losses, and sometimes traumatic experiences. These experiences can often leave parts of us feeling wounded and hurt. Our traditional ways of coping and healing may no longer work. I see many problems with mood and relationships as stemming from these underlying dynamics. I will work hard to truly understand your story, what it is you need in order to live a more fulfilling life, and help you unlock your innate capacity for contentment, joy, and connectedness.
