My Approach to Helping
I currently have daytime availability for new clients. Taking the first step in the journey of therapy takes courage and strength. I am a marital and family therapist with over 17 years of experience working with adult individuals and couples going through difficult times in their lives. During therapy, we will explore thoughts, feelings and behavioral patterns that aren't working and how they affect your world. I help my clients learn healthy coping skills, develop new patterns for communicating, and relating to themselves and others. As a marriage and family therapist, I also work with individuals along with married and unmarried couples. I provide acceptance, support, nurturance and hope for the future. I use a strength based approach. My goal is for therapy to be an inviting, calm and safe place where we can work together to create positive changes in your life resulting in healthy coping skills, peace, and improved relationships.
