My Approach to Helping

Are you feeling stressed, anxious or depressed? Perhaps you are having difficulty with your children, family or job. If so, counseling might be the answer. You don't have to live with feelings, thoughts and situations that bring you unhappiness. My focus is to help you lead a happier and more productive life.

I am passionate about counseling and feel it is a privilege as well as my true calling. I enjoy assisting individuals and families focus on strengths and make it through difficult times. I utilize a number of therapeutic techniques including cognitive behavioral, family systems, evidence based, solution focused, and play therapy for young children.

My diverse therapeutic background includes work with adults, teens and young children in private practice, the public school system, county mental health, hospital programs, and non-profit agencies. These experiences enable me to connect with a wide range of clients from varied backgrounds and give me a wealth of knowledge to draw upon.

I believe therapy at its heart is the search for better ways of relating to one another, healing past wounds, and finding ways of coping with the unique hand you have been dealt in life. I commend you for that search and believe it is truly a victory to be considering change. And if you choose to include me in your journey I will endeavor to support your choices, help you to find your truth, and magnify your strengths.
