I believe therapy is most helpful in an atmosphere of acceptance and respect. In a safe and collaborative environment, we can work together toward your personal goals. I am passionate about helping my clients cope with life stressors, to get relief from painful emotional symptoms, and to feel understood. Beginning therapy is not easy. My approach to therapy begins with helping clients to define their goals and to empower them to move toward the most fulfilling life possible.

Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? Do your needs include increasing coping skills and expanding your informal support? Are your goals to decrease your current symptoms, increase/build mastery of coping skills, and continue to build your support system? My ideal client is ready and open to work.

I have an extensive professional history of working with families and couples in crisis. Many of us struggle in our relationships & find that clear communication is challenging for many reasons. The barriers may include issues with past trauma or failed attempts to find the right words during a conflict. I bring the structural therapy tools to help a family, couple, or individual recognize the triggers of their conflicts, explore past trauma & the impact it may have on the current relationship/situation, help the individual challenge automatic negative assumptions, & find a response which leads to clear communication.

I focus on trauma, depression, anxiety, attachment difficulties, & relationship/family issues. My ideal client would be open to change and exploring more positive ways to see themselves. My ideal client would be someone that values our time together and is present for sessions. My ideal client would be someone who can reflect from within and be willing to do the work, with a sincere desire to change their lifestyle. This client would be flexible and willing to see the other side of the coin, exploring the past and delving into the present.

Are you experiencing symptoms related to anxiety or depression and want a better understanding of yourself and your relationships? Are you motivated for therapy and open to the challenges and rewards that therapy provides?

Are you a young adult dealing primarily with anxiety and life transition issues? This could be a recent college graduate starting their first big job, a major transition. I like walking beside them through these transitions and being an additional support. I also like helping people learn breathing techniques to manage anxiety and learn about polyvagal theory and a bottom-up approach. I enjoy working with clients who can articulate their goals, such as managing anxiety better and working on anxiety in different settings.

Are you struggling with relationships? Experiencing problems with anxiety, depression, or just an overall sense of unhappiness? Do you want something in your life to change but feel stuck? I'm a Psychotherapist who is blessed to do work that I love and am passionate about. I'm constantly inspired by the client's awareness, growth and transformation process that occurs in therapy. The therapeutic relationship is the best indicator of effective outcomes for clients. Therefore I focus on building relationships with emotional safety, comfort and trust. I tailor my theoretical approach to fit each individual's specific needs.

With 30 years of extensive experience working with individuals, couples and families my focus is on the resolution of problems (hence the name RESOLUTION COUNSELING). The goal is to improve relationships and facilitate positive change. I am certified in chemical dependency and related issues and treat many other disorders. Direct in my approach, I offer insights providing options for making changes. Breaking free of old, conditioned patterns is critical to finding fulfillment and happiness. Learning how to make healthy choices will enhance one's life. I instill HOPE that change is possible because once you have the tools you have the ability to move forward!

I specialize in therapy care for children, teens, young adults & families. Parents are included as part of the therapy process from start to finish. Individual clients are seen as well using a relational and humanistic lens. Issues you may want to focus on: building cooperation & fostering openness instead of hostility & defiance; growing self esteem & confidence instead of fearfulness, clinging & sadness; increasing tolerance, self control instead of tantrums & aggression. Our work will heal family patterns of discord, hurt & division & will help children along their journey of becoming a confident, well rounded individual.

Do you want to live more authentically and experience more alignment with your values? Do you want your relationships to reflect these desires? Together we can work in a supportive, non-judgmental, and compassionate space to help you better understand yourself... why you may choose to do things, and cope in ways, that have been unproductive, problematic, or even harmful to your wellbeing. Let’s develop new skills that support your peace & serenity. I am certain that we can tap into your innate power and find your courage to grow! My practice is LGBTQ2IA, poly/CNM, and neurodivergent friendly and affirming. Let's get to work!
