Our mind-body connection is extremely powerful. When we are stressed, we might experience bodily discomfort and/or mental health concerns that cause difficulty functioning in everyday life. This is completely normal! I encourage you to close your eyes and listen for two to three minutes. Do you hear that little voice in your head? It takes awareness and practice to navigate that little voice, that speaks to us 24/7, for it to be an asset in our healing, growth, and self-regulation.

I am a Licencsed Mental Health Counselor specializing in working with an adult population as well as seniors suffering with dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Life is filled with a myriad of challenges which often makes proper choice difficult to decide. It is prudent and wise to seek guidance when faced with such situations.

We will not try to make you do what somebody else wants you to do. We start with your goals & find ways to help you develop the necessary skills. We have found that, if a person's individual wishes are not represented in the solution, it will not work in the long run. So there is a strong emphasis on helping each person take responsibility and control over their own happiness. Some things are better handled individually, and some things are better handled with both people in the room. Our unique blend of individual & couples therapy is quite effective.

I provide practical, solution focused therapy for individuals dealing with stress, life transitions, depression, anxiety, worry, and grief. The therapy process includes identifying your concerns, developing therapeutic goals, and evaluating our progress together.

Welcome. I offer you an opportunity to feel safe and supported, to get centered and refreshed. I have a wide range of experience and am well trained in treating mood disorders, relationship concerns and trauma.

Everything we do involves relationships; so when we are not feeling effective in this part of our lives, other parts suffer as well. Over the past twenty five years I have worked on relationships with teenagers and adults through individual, family and couples work. My specialty is effective communication coaching in order to get needs met in relationships. I do this through the lens of family systems work, asking thoughtful questions and offering perspective. Anyone who is willing to walk through the therapy door and want more out of their relationships is who I welcome in my office.
