New skills, self-awareness, and growth into your full potential are my wishes for you. This must be paired with less anguish and emotional pain, which is needed by so many of us. I want you to know all of you better, be more accepting of yourself, and feel in more control of your life. I want you to expand your knowledge of who you are; to grow into all that you are capable of becoming. I believe that even for the most resilient people, life deals us blows which can't be managed easily or quickly alone. I work to provide opportunities for others to begin and continue to grow; in a safe, confidential environment. It is important to me to not only acknowledge each individual's strengths and wishes to grow, but also to be really present with them. I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to work towards his or her best self.

As a licensed psychologist, I recognize that life and relationships can prove to be challenging.

I work with adults experiencing conflicts in relationships, in identity andor the experience of self, and uncertainty in overcoming life’s many challenges. In our work together all aspects of you are welcome, and it is my hope that we will create a relationship in which you find comfort and safety to be yourself without fear of judgment. Because your unique word choices and use of language are products of you, it is my belief that close attention to what you say leads us to a richer, more complex understanding of your experience of self. It is my hope that our shared endeavor will give way to increased self-knowledge, liberation from distress, and empowerment to engage in life.

Life is difficult and unfortunately the world we live in doesn't foster the belief in asking for help or sharing our feelings. Many people feel disconnected and alone and more importantly disconnected from one's own self. I approach counseling as a collaboration between therapist and client with a goal of helping people re-discover their innate ability to heal and become whole again. My approach to therapy sessions utilizes a mix of Somatic Experiencing, mindfulness-based resource building and cognitive-based therapies in hopes of gaining insight into patterns and issues that derail us from living a value-centered existence.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist who has successfully treated couples, families, and individuals for over 30 years. Using Brief Collaborative Therapy, you learn new ways to successfully work through life's critical issues, for many of you, in as few as 10 sessions. How does Brief Collaborative Therapy work? You are the expert in your life teaching me about what you need and how best to accomplish getting those needs met. Sessions are client focused and solution directed. We collaborate in creating desired goals and an action plan, then actively participate in homework directed to test and fine-tune skills used to resolve issues and achieve those goals. Therefore, therapy becomes more efficient and effective. Many clients successfully resolve their issues in 5 - 10 sessions!! As a clinical member and approved supervisor for the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy and in practice for 30 years, I am uniquely qualified to provide brief, collaborative therapy. As the owner of the Birmingham Family Therapy Clinic, I have helped hundreds of clients successfully resolve their issues.

Everyone can heal. It is my role to be a guide, and support and encourage healing. I have been trained in a multitude of supportive modalities and consider myself to be quite adept at utilizing both traditional and alternative energetic practices. I have worked with difficult and deep seeded issues and consider myself highly effective in working with most issues including substance abuse, thought, emotional and behavioral addictions, and pain. The techniques I utilize are evidenced based, well researched as efficient and effective at supporting healing, and are nonpathologizing and individualized. I integrate with somatic techniques including body centered techniques, breathwork, consciousness development,mindfulness and energetic hypnotherapy. Worth noting is that I completed an extensive 3 year post graduate training program studying energetic processes including energetic psychodrama, breath work and hypnotherapy through the Wellness Institute in Issaquah, Washington. I study and practice yoga and meditation. I offer over 25 years of experience and tailor treatment plans to meet the needs of the individual.
