You are so very warmly welcomed into this space. Please, take a moment to recognize the time and effort you are already giving toward your health: by acknowledging the greater part of you that is asking for change and then taking the step forward in finding support to help you navigate what comes next. This is so hard. Time, circumstance, information overload, perhaps previous negative healthcare experiences, the human tendency to lean away from the unknown, all serve as reasons to stay in our old patterns. However, in having made it this far, the work toward healing has already begun for you. You have already started.

I enjoy working with a variety of clients. My training in marriage and family therapy has helped me to see the importance of knowing the context and history of a person's life. It is important to know each person's unique history and community. I believe that this self-knowledge help us find answers to our questions and new solutions. It is important to believe that our history does not determine our destiny.

Counseling provides a safe place for healing to occur. Children, teens and adults benefit from a private spot to sort out conflicting feelings, difficult life circumstances and relationship problems. Learning new ways of facing dilemmas present in everyday life produces energy. During therapy, many of my clients begin to experience an inner calm, increased self confidence and/or a clearer sense of self-concept, which in turn leads to a deeper sense of well being.
