Helping People Find Therapists & Advocating for Ethical and Healthy Therapy & Marriage Counseling Practices

My Approach to Helping

I offer counseling that combines compassion, common sense, and clinical expertise. Whether you want to address a specific problem or improve your overall quality of life, we can work together to help you find both short-term relief and long-term solutions.

My approach is tailored to fit individual needs. I am guided by the cognitive-behavioral model, which looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Concepts and techniques from other theoretical perspectives are integrated as appropriate. I advocate care for the whole person--body, mind, and spirit. Christian counseling is available upon request.

Important Factors for Choosing a Therapist

Find someone that you click with. While it is important for services to be affordable, cost should not be the determining factor when deciding who to share the most intimate details of your life with. If you are going to open up to someone new, be sure to find someone you feel comfortable being completely honest with and someone you believe understands you and knows how to help.

Groups I Work With

Although I see clients from all walks of life, I specialize in working with military veterans and their families. I provide assistance with pre-deployment preparation, coping with separation and loss, combat trauma, and adjusting to civilian life and/or life after combat. As an expression of gratitude to those who have served our country, military veterans and TRICARE beneficiaries receive a 20% discount on all services. In addition, I partner with an organization that is often able to cover most (if not all) of the cost of therapy for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans and their families.
