As an “introduction” to who I am, what I believe in, and what I “bring to the table” during our therapy sessions, please allow me to use a quote from one of my favorite books written by David Klow, LMFT, “You Are Not Crazy”. His words are exactly what I want you, my Client, to hear from me and for you to believe. You are not crazy. Really, you are not. Others are experiencing nearly the same things as you, yet they just don’t talk about it. They often don’t even have the words to describe what they are experiencing; but if they could, you may find that it is a lot like what you are going through.

Hello, I understand that while the idea therapy can be scary and overwhelming, the reality is, it does not have to be. I believe counseling is a partnership where the ultimate goal is improving one's quality of life.

I’d be honored to serve you and to encourage you, someone made in the image of God with inconceivable value. My therapeutic approach is grounded in the Biblical principles that can provide hope, redemption, grace, and strength to everyone who believes in them. The truth is, God has loved us from all from the beginning of creation, but due to sin (that is, going against God’s good and moral character in our actions and choices), all of mankind became separated from God, our Creator, who is the ultimate good and strength for our lives.

It can help to talk about it.

Hello, I am here to support women over the age of 40 who are struggling with "life transition" issues such as divorce, widowhood, remarriage, launching adult children, career / job changes, and life after retirement. Twenty years ago, I started a "Women of Hope" empowerment group. Since then, I have incorporated clinical strategies and principles from that experience, into my psychotherapeutic approach with women over 40 that provides them with spiritual encouragement, personal support and a sense of revitalization while on their life journey.

Have you felt misunderstood by your therapist in the past? Have you avoided therapy because of what you thought it might be like? Therapy with me will be different because I will attend to those concerns in our very first session. I believe that the relationship you have with your therapist will be the number one determining factor for the success of your sessions. If this was not met in previous sessions, then, rightfully so, you may be avoiding talking to a therapist. I hope to be the therapist for people who don't like talking to a therapist!

I have a wide range in my approach to treatment, but my foundation is deeply grounded in person-centered therapy. I want you to be comfortable being your authentic self, whoever that may be. Clients often gain more awareness and self-acceptance in our work together. A session might look like us exploring the past (but not getting stuck there), understanding what is going on in the present moment (identifying your needs), and how to move forward into the future (by creating meaningful and realistic goals).
