When stress, anxiety, or conflict begins to disrupt family life or close relationships, it can feel hard to know where to turn. Parents may feel overwhelmed, couples may get stuck in the same arguments, or children and teens may struggle emotionally or behaviorally. I work with individuals ages 6+, couples, families, and military families to address anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, blended family dynamics, and relationships. Therapy focuses on understanding patterns, improving communication, and building emotional stability in ways that support real, lasting change.
With nearly 40 years in the mental health field, I bring experience, warmth, and flexibility into each session. Therapy with me is collaborative and shaped around your needs and goals. I use family systems work, brief therapy, CBT, and EMDR when helpful, keeping sessions practical, supportive, and focused on steady progress without dragging the process out.
You don’t have to stay stuck in patterns that aren’t working. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, your child, or your family, help is available. I invite you to schedule a session through my website or Psychology Today to see if we’re a good fit. Together, we can work toward solutions that feel manageable, effective, and aligned with your life.

Many people today experience mood disorders, such as anxiety and depression, which are the most frequent issues seen. While medication may help, counseling is always the first and sometimes only action needed. Relationship issues can often be caused by or can lead to mood disorders, too. Therapy is an effective way to address both emotional and relationship issues.

As a marriage and family therapist, I prefer systemic therapies. For goal-planning and goal-directed counseling, I use solution-focused therapy techniques. With many couples, I utilize communication skills training. There is no one-size-fits-all therapy style, so the people and the issues dictate the treatment.
