My focus is to empower families by improving their relationships and communication so family members are more of a support than a burden to each other. Family issues that I commonly treat are couple's communication, sexual issues in a relationship, mixed-agenda couples (where one is considering a divorce), co-parenting after a divorce, behavior issues with children, as well as abuse or neglect in families. I also help families where a member struggles with self-injury, depression, or anxiety.

You have decided to look for a guide through unfamiliar territory, whether it is a new problem or an old nagging issue.

My thoughtful and intuitive approach can guide you on this journey. I have been especially successful with clients struggling with codependent issues, anxiety, divorce or other transitions, and anger. All are welcome.

I have been working in the field of counseling for 25+ years. I have had the pleasure of working with individuals from many walks of life with various issues.

Many of us struggle silently wishing for change but are unable to see a way to get there. If this sounds like you, I am here to tell you that change is possible and the other side is liberating. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or unresolved childhood issues, we can find ways to work through these issues together. I believe that at the end of the day there are three questions that if we can answer, we can get through anything in life. Those questions are: Who am I? Who do I want to be? How do I get there? I can help you begin to examine those questions and create new tools to help you understand those answers.

I create a specific treatment plan for the client that fits their needs. Life challenges are a constant, but with the right strategies, a child can learn how to handle and navigate through them with confidence.
