I work collaboratively with clients to help them find peace and rest in the midst of daily life.

I have been providing individual, couples, and family therapy for over 35 years. Areas of specialty in my clinical practice include couple/family relational issues, anxiety, depression, stress and health, life transitions, and work systems issues. Anxiety may interfere with a person's ability to think clearly at times of stress or crisis and may impede their finding a course of action. Through the initial assessment phase and as therapy progresses, the ability to think more calmly and objectively about a problem can return. A person may then more effectively address the inevitable challenges in relationships and in life.

*waitlist only* I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am also an Integrated Therapist, which means I draw from traditional (evidence-based), nontraditional (i.e. somatic, psychobiology) and nonphysical (spiritual, not religious, nonmaterial) approaches as part of the counseling session. I work with adults, couples, and families facing various challenges. My approach is strengths-based, focused on what's right with you and will support you to reinforce the bridge between logic--"what I should do" and heart--"what I want to do".

I am pursuing full licensure as a mental health counselor. I offer a place to come and sit and be yourself. Where you are, is important to me. I aim to meet you where you are in your walk of life. I have lived a lot of life and have personal experiences that drove me and inspired me to become the counselor I am today. You want freedom and peace, and it is all within you. My mission and passion is to help you find that, and to be able to give yourself permission to keep going. Don't Give up on you!
