Life often throws us lemons. It is my goal to aid you in placing those lemons into cute vases and use them as decor. We can’t turn things into something they’re not, but we can re-frame them and change their meaning. I will work with you to help them build on your strengths to identify and achieve your goals. Therapy should be a space where you can talk and gain insight into what’s going on in your life and how you want to proceed. In therapy I draw on styles and techniques that are the helpful for your individual situation, providing a space where you have the authority and ability to grow in the direction you choose.

I am trained as a Brief Therapist and use a structural-strategic approach to therapy where both therapist and client collaboratively engage to address issues and solve problems with unique My work includes children & families, couples, individuals, and professionals experiencing licensing issues or other career-related concerns.

When we work to improve those relationships, and realign the structure of our interactions with the people around us, we then see positive results.

Life can feel overwhelming sometimes. It could be losing a loved one, a job or some other major life change. Maybe there’s conflict within your family or other close relationships. Sometimes you just feel sad, lonely, or confused about what to do next. And for others, there is something devastating from the past that feels impossible to move beyond. This is when counseling can help. It’s important to realize that you’re not alone and that help can be found, you just have to be willing to take that first scary step in asking for it.

Through many years of working with clients and patients in inpatient, outpatient, and community settings, I have learned that my passion is helping clients who are struggling to resolve problems that arise from unresolved family of origin issues and life transitions. I believe in a holistic approach to improve depressed mood, calm anxious thoughts, and learn coping skills. Grief work has been something that presents itself over and over, and I enjoy helping clients move from the point where their loss feels overwhelming to a point where they can accept the loss and learn to enjoy life again.
