I believe in multiple therapeutic approaches, understanding each person is an individual. I have a particular interest in working with children and fathers. I am a genuine lover and believer in humanity and feel this is felt by my clients. I use humor and non-traditional forms of therapy to build rapport and help each client feel they can overcome whatever barriers, struggles, or hardships life faces them with. If talk therapy hasn't worked for you before, we will work together to figure out what is best, using creative forms (art, music, poetry) or perhaps going for a walk while talking.

What's happening for you? Is something blocking or distressing you - interfering in your life? Is it a habit, a feeling, a nagging question, or a disaster? Is it a disconnect with someone? As a Licensed Professional Counselor with an emphasis on experiential-process, I believe unfolding our experiences in therapy is very helpful. Perhaps some situation, vexing thoughts, troubling feeling, or particular actions hold keys to unlocking a best way forward in your life.

I have an extensive professional history of working with families and couples in crisis. Many of us struggle in our relationships & find that clear communication is challenging for many reasons. The barriers may include issues with past trauma or failed attempts to find the right words during a conflict. I bring the structural therapy tools to help a family, couple, or individual recognize the triggers of their conflicts, explore past trauma & the impact it may have on the current relationship/situation, help the individual challenge automatic negative assumptions, & find a response which leads to clear communication.
