I join with my clients in exploring pathways to change unhealthy thoughts, verbalization, and behavior.I have great respect for one's right to choose. I believe most functioning difficulties are trauma based. All feelings or emotions are valid but we need to practice positive coping responses thus impacting these elements. I believe that spirituality is an aspect of our development but it should not be confused with religious practices. I believe in working together to establish outcomes and ultimately regard what we do and say as markers of growth. I believe parenting is a sacred responsibility but often requires new skills.

I find it a true honor to have had the opportunity to work for over 25 years with individuals and families in varying levels of distress (inpatient, crisis work, outpatient). I believe that it takes courage to face change and look forward to meeting you and to committing to joining you on your journey. To share my style of compassion and positivity, I take a "glass half full" view of life and pledge to help guide others toward finding their "real truth".

I believe that the therapeutic relationship serves as a firm foundation for treatment. I want to provide you with a safe space for self-exploration, healing and guidance. My hope is that you will feel supported, accepted and empowered through our relationship. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 11 years post graduate experience as a therapist with experience in the mental health field for the past 18 years. I enjoy working with pre-teens adolescents and adults of all ages.

My ideal client is one who is willing to work on his or her issues and concerns. I work well with clients dealing with depression and anxiety.

Finding a best fit counselor to walk alongside you while you set and achieve your goals is the most important part. My approach is genuine, compassionate, and client centered. We will work together to learn more about you, set your goals, and reach your potential. I believe everyone needs an unbiased, nonjudgmental partner to confide in or to overcome hurdles and assist to move towards a goal. Through my practice, I currently provide telehealth (video) counseling only so clients best served will be ages 10 thru adulthood; however, I am able to provide parenting support and coaching to parents of younger children.
