I love working with individuals of all ages and struggles. I have been in the counseling field for over 25 years and enjoy the partnership of working together to find a solution. Throughout the years I have spent much time researching and attending trainings to learn how to best handle stress. Stress and trauma have a significant impact on our bodies and many traditional strategies may not work; if they don't, I use health, spirituality, and energy medicine to impact change. I focus on health and positive psychology. We work on new techniques right in the office.

I believe in being fully attentive and engaged in the therapy process. I bring nearly 40 years of experience conscientiously doing my own work in the hopes of offering that wisdom to my clients. In therapy, you may find me challenging, but my focus is always on your goals. My real skill is in facilitating a greater emotional and psychological understanding that leads to change.

I believe in creating a warm and safe place where people can feel comfortable working through their difficulties and emerge with new strength. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families on a wide range of personal and interpersonal issues. Some people have a clear idea of the problem they want to address, and others are simply experiencing too much difficulty and only know that something needs to change. In either case, I explore their individual experiences and perspectives, and what they would like out of the therapeutic process before collaboratively developing the interventions and tools that best meet their needs.

My counseling style draws on years of experience providing and receiving mental health services.

I specialize in working with individuals dealing with substance use, attachment issues, and complex trauma. Whether you’re struggling to connect with a counselor or starting therapy for the first time, we’ll collaborate to build a personalized plan to help you move forward.

I truly care about my clients and will provide a confidential, empathic, and non-judgmental environment. My ideal client might be in distress and simply in need of relief or someone who wants to investigate themselves and grow through the process. My ideal client might not be sure if therapy will help. I would try a variety of strategies to show you that it can. I have had challenges in life and I have received help from many people along the way. I believe that we should receive help when we need it and help others when we are able to do so. I look forward to collaborating in our work together!

Life is hard, and more often than not the issues that can impact a person's emotional, physical, and psychological well-being - such as childhood trauma, death, divorce (as a spouse or a child), major life changes and losses, abuse, etc. - create dysfunction to one degree or another that needs to be addressed. My goal and passion as a counselor is to come alongside such individuals and relationships that are broken and struggling and help them down a path toward healing and wholeness.
