If your relationships or life circumstances have you feeling stuck, anxious, or depressed, I can help you by providing a safe environment and some guided exploration of your strengths, options, challenges, and needs. I'm very good at helping you determine what is under your power to change and what is something to accept, grieve, and learn to live with. Whether it's a failing relationship, children with disability, or your adolescent has pushed you to the end of your rope, I bring hope, humor and comfort as I walk along side you as you find solutions, peace, and direction.
Relationships and Trauma are my specialities. I help restore relationships that are stuck in negative cycles and renew parent-teen relationships that are struggling. Helping families through divorce and restructuring is something else I do particularly well. I use EMDR therapy for all ages, with a commitment to help especially children and veterans resolve trauma.
I integrate spirituality, Christian theology, and psychology - not a task without ambiguities and mess. I bring solid Biblical knowledge and prayer for those who want it, and solid wisdom for those who aren't religious. I work with all faith orientations and with people who have no particular faith orientation.
