I am a strength based therapist; I believe we each have strengths that can be built upon. I have a passion for families. A family is a system with a great deal of moving parts that often need some adjusting. I will first LISTEN with empathy and compassion and then help to identify goals. You may be someone experiencing a major life transition, a parent struggling to reach your child, a spouse feeling unsupported or a teen having no idea how to navigate. I can help you to process your struggles and develop effective, practical strategies to realize change or simply walk through a challenging chapter with a renewed sense of hope.
I specialize in family conflict with intact, blended and divorcing families. I work with depression, anxiety and ADHD and am passionate about teaching adolescents and adults how to successfully manage ADHD. I love providing parent education whether you are parenting alone, together or anywhere in between.
ARC Counseling, Active Resilient Coaching and Counseling, reflects what I hope your counseling experience will be. We will actively work together to jump start the strength and resilience within you. As an individual adult or part of a family we will create the change you desire and develop new hope.
