Do you lie awake at night worrying about how you are going to make your relationship work? Are you struggling to find a way through depression, or anxiety? Do you wonder how to respond to a loved one who is struggling with an addiction? I have worked with clients for over 25 years to learn effective tools to meet these challenges and move forward with emotional freedom. In addition, I am a professor teaching in graduate mental health programs, which keeps me at the forefront of my profession. I have authored two books - the Grace-Filled Divorce and Substance Abuse Treatment and the Family.
I believe that the quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives. When my clients learn to change their part in the patterns of their relationships, they also find they are able to move through life as a whole more effectively. I will give the tools to empower you need to meet the challenges are facing now, and will face in the future.
Right now, you may be feeling discouraged, overwhelmed and frustrated. Rest assured that with clear direction, uniquely tailored to you, you can move forward with greater understanding and clearer purpose. I look forward to hearing from you!

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression or other emotional challenges. I have found that when our relationships are unfulfilling, we end up feeling overwhelmed and discouraged. We will work together to develop strategies to make changes that are deep and lasting. Most of my clients experience improvement within the first 6 sessions.

I work with a model that looks at the context of your life, your primary relationships, and together we examine your strengths as well as your current areas of growth. You will leave each session with strategies to make your life work better for you. My goal is to help you create a "tool box" of responses that you can use moving forward and which do not require anyone else to change.
