Are you ready to live in your preferred future? I understand it can often feel overwhelming, uncertain and unfamiliar to ask for help. The truth of the matter is that, at times, we can all get stuck in habits, routines and circumstances that we want to change. My way of helping includes a philosophy of empathy, enthusiasm, humor, hopefulness, presence, straightforwardness and therapeutic structure refined over decades of supporting others.

I strive to create an environment where my client’s desire to grow and evolve begins with expressing concerns and revealing aspirations for a better tomorrow. We’ll work together to build awareness, evaluate options, and prepare actions, readying you to live anew.

I’ll customize a plan according to your unique needs. Some effective tools you may find I use include: client-centered, solution-focused brief, Adlerian, cognitive behavioral, DBT and personality therapies. I can explore personality inventories with you such as the Myers Briggs, NEO PI, Emotional Intelligence and Communication Styles. For those interested, as a Pastoral Counselor, I can accompany you as you integrate your spirituality into a sense of well-being. I’m also certified to provide EMDR therapy for clients as well.

I have both a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in counseling related fields, and 24 years of relevant experience. I see individual adults 18 and older and couples. I provide therapy for depression, anxiety, anger management, addiction, family conflict, life transitions, ADHD, low self-esteem, domestic abuse, codependency, chronic illness, grief, relationship issues and many other concerns.
