I honor the uniqueness and integrity of each individual I see. I view my role as a support and a guide while I join you at a very important juncture in your life. You deserve safety and trust. The objective part of therapy may involve psycho-spiritual strategies/interventions that help integrate the insights of therapy. These approaches may include mindfulness skills, psychodynamic,cognitive, behavioral or spiritual interventions such as meditation and yoga."

"Life is a journey and the secret to fulfillment is learning how to journey well. Everyone gets stuck at various points on the journey. Symptoms then emerge that vary with the individual, such as depression, anxiety, compulsions, sleep problems, etc. When we need help, we look for someone with experience and a good psychological base to help us discover why we are stuck and how we keep ourselves stuck. We want someone who will help us find our voice and not superimpose their beliefs and judgments on us."

"My therapy services exist to provide genuine, Christ-centered, Christian counseling to those facing emotional or relational difficulties.

I seek to offer objective advice and focus on a big picture perspective."

"Chocolate, snowboarding, and shopping can be therapeutic, but sometimes they're not enough. I see teenagers, adults, and families when struggles get in the way of fun and suffering becomes too familiar. Friends and family hopefully are there when we need them, yet therapists can provide additional essentials: nonjudgmental, individual attention in a safe setting. Relationships are central to our well-being, and the therapy process involves building a relationship. Clients lead, and I listen to your goals and help you to identify unhealthy patterns, reduce negative self-talk, and learn more about how you view yourself and the world."

"I love to strengthen marriages using marital therapy and have had good success with reaching a couple's goals over my 35yr career.Most couples wait too long to come in for a "tune-up" when early intervention and problem solving is ideal. Otherwise, we get into major repairs in the couple relationship which is challenging for all. I have alot of experience working with blended families and I have led divorce adjustment grps for 26 years here in Madison. I am therefore especially suited for persons needing to complete grief work and rebuild their lives after major losses."

"I understand that starting therapy can be a scary process. I work to create an open and inviting atmosphere for everyone who walks through my door. It is important to feel like you have a "good fit" with your therapist, which is why I take the time to listen to what brings you in, hear your personal goals and explain what you can expect from therapy. It's not my job to judge, blame, or take sides. I will work with you to provide tools, identify your personal strengths and offer new ways of communicating to provide relief."

"Have you tried to make positive changes in your life only to find yourself hitting a wall? Might fear or grief over loss be holding you back? Do you live with anxiety, depression, fear, or disturbing memories, or trauma? Maybe you have clear ideas of the changes you need to make, but something keeps stopping you from moving forward. Have you spent months or years of frustration in trying to get "unstuck?" Perhaps a part of you has even thought that these obstacles will never go away. Don't give up! Many people have felt the way you do, yet have found critical pieces of the puzzle to create positive changes they thought impossible."

"Imagine achieving what you want in life, such as fulfilling relationships and more self-awareness and insight. Imagine unburdening yourself of depression, anxiety, and self doubt.

As an Emotionally Focused Therapist, I work with individuals, couples, and families to create enduring secure attachment bonds, thereby strengthening and improving connection with others.

"When we lose our focus due to loss, anxiety, depression, addiction, or conflicted relationships, we often feel like we're stumbling in the dark, unable to remember positive experiences such as simple happiness, curiosity, and fulfillment . Effective psychotherapy is a process of "turning on the lights" of awareness that enable us to recover a sense of clarity and meaningful direction."

"Are you a person struggling to meet all the demands of family and household obligations? Do you feel "Tired" "Overwhelmed" and "Like You Just Can't Go On?" Have you experienced "Loss", and have found yourself experiencing an "Unbearable Grief" or maybe "Self Medicating" because "Ain't Nobody Got Time For That?" Are you isolating because you "Just Can't Deal Right Now?" Do you feel like noone understands you for who you are, and "Can't Possibly Relate?" Have you been away from the "Fam" for an extended period of time, struggling to get back in? I UNDERSTAND!"

"For over 37 years I have had the privilege of working with clients as a psychotherapist in private practice. I brought to this work a dedication to my clients' all around well being; physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. My initial training focused on Gestalt and Psychosynthesis approaches, both of these being humanistic and transpersonal therapies. I have gone on to incorporate mindfulness and meditation instruction into my work. Most recently I have curtailed my individual practice to focus on groups for smokers and groups for those with eating issues."

"Everyone's life is difficult at times. No one can avoid experiencing loss, stress, unhappiness, uncertainty, relationship or work problems. Sometimes it's hard to know when to ask for help. Seeking therapy does not mean there is something wrong with you. Many individuals get labeled with a mental illness because they are struggling with life issues, traumatic events or troubled families. I am less interested in finding a label for your distress or symptoms, and more interested in working with you to reach a better understanding of them, and to develop more successful coping techniques."
