Helping people lead more productive and healthy lives is the joy of my job as a therapist. I love working with people who are wanting something different than they now have, that may be issues around their relationships, their children, friends, jobs or maybe that they want something different from their lives. The first step is to ask for help. I have been a therapist for over 30 years and given many seminars, both tv and radio programs and feel that what I have learned can help people accomplish life goals with the right support.

Welcome! Part of the reason you’ve found you’re way here might involve overwhelming anxiety, stress from relationships or school, lack of boundaries, wanting to increase or better your communication skills, work through new transitions or changes in major life “things”, or doing the deeper dives into trauma.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I obtained my undergraduate degree in Clinical Psychology and graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. My therapy approach is taken from an attachment theory and perspective. I believe humans are wired to feel connected, and that we all greatly benefit from healthy relationships. Without this connectedness, we may experience loneliness or isolation. I provide a safe, accepting space for individuals, couples, and families using a positive Existential Therapy Model to support self-awareness, meaningful relationships, and values of life.

Treatment is customized in consideration of individual schedules, preferences, strengths, obstacles and goals for lasting growth and change. Christian counseling is available upon request.

I have had many years of experience working with adolescents, children, adults, and their families in both facilities as well as in homes.

Helping them find their strengths and supports within their life, working on goals that are hopeful and achieveable, and finally helping them find their purpose in life, their relationships, and within themselves is the ultimate goal of therapy

Trauma leaves us feeling worthless, broken, and disconnected from our true selves. You may be fed up not knowing who you are outside of your relationship, or guilt over what happened to you.

You're ready to live in the moment and enjoy meaningful relationships without being triggered by your past. You're ready to wake up each morning with purpose. Most of all, you're ready to heal and love yourself again and face your future head on with a sense of hope and I can help you get there.
