I completed a Post-graduate training program in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis w/ children and adolescents.
I have 20 years of experience working with children, teens, adults and families. This experience has helped me to assist children, teens and adults in exploring, naming their feelings, finding healthy ways to manage negative feelings and tendencies. With children and teens I work to access their families and community resources so they can take advantage of appropriate supports. With teens and young adults I work on discovering, uncovering what they need from others. I also help them work on separating in a healthy manner while maintaining appropriate attachments to their families of origin.

I am a Christian Counselor. I believe that psychotherapy is more effective when Christ is central to the process. Since God created the child, adolescent and his/her parents, He is the one with the wisdom to bring healing and restoration to the family. Though I have specialized with children and adolescents many adults have requested to see me and now my practice is expanding to include adults. Christian Counseling unites Biblical values with the power of the Holy Spirit, together with the knowledge base of psychology and social work to bring emotional and mental health healing to people.
