What's My Approach to Therapy?

Encouraging hope and enthusiasm for life is a primary goal of my counseling philosophy. Promoting self-agency is another: you can solve your own problems with the abilities you already possess together with the skills and expertise I offer. I will listen to your own unique story in a caring, nonjudgmental manner, meeting you where you are and walking forward with you. I diagnose with care, making every effort to focus on healing rather than labels. I believe that while every human being has problems, the problem is separate from the person. Self-awareness is vital for growth: who are you and what do you want out of life? Let's find out together!

My Practice & Services

Compsych's Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is the only insurance I take. The rest of my practice is Private Pay.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

As an adoptive mother, I am familiar with attachment and other adoption issues that face both the adoptive parents and the adopted childadult. As a past foster parent for teen boys and girls, I am sensitive to the challenges faced by blendedcombined families.
