My specialties include: grief and loss, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship/ couples and LGBTQ issues.
I believe we are born with an innate desire to live full, healthy and happy lives. I believe change can occur in our life if we are willing to take the risk, stay the course and have a supportive, informed, and honest professional co-traveler on the journey. Having a professional you trust and feel supported and seen by are the most important factors in making a different life for yourself. Over 20 years I have traveled with folks experiencing a wide range of challenges. I have met grief and loss, depression, anxiety, trauma and challenging relationship situations.

I have worked with men's issues, marraige and relationship problems, adult depression and anxiety, and numerous PTSD/trauma concerns.
We all feel distressed at times. The time to call for help is when life gets to be more than you can handle and is stopping your growth. Intentions and desires go awry, and despite our best efforts, resolution eludes us. The goal is to help you reconnect with your original desires to live a meaningful and productive life, and do so in ways that best fit your life today. I am excited to announce that I am moving my practice to Summit Emotinal Health, effective October 27, 2021.

I utilize a mix of mindfulness-based CBT, psychodynamic, family systems, and EMDR to help adolescents, adults, and couples with such issues as anxiety, depression, family of origin issues, relationship and marital issues, and trauma.
I believe that as human beings, our being matters more than our doing. I help people foster peace with themselves apart from anything they could ever accomplish or do. I also believe that we are all made to be in relationship with one another. Relationships are where we learn love, comfort, encouragement, joy, and hope. Alternately, they are also where we experience pain, abuse, abandonment, and rejection. It is my desire that my clients are able to reflect on the pain of their past with peace and hope and are able to have healthy and joy-filled relationships with others.

I'm a marriage-friendly, couples specialist trained to help your marriage succeed.
Marriage counseling is my area of specialty. I'm a marriage and family therapist who has made relationship dynamics my exclusive focus and expertise. I specialize in working with couples who have experienced infidelity in their marriage, where one partner has had an affair. I also work with communication blockages, fighting all the time, lack of intimacy, and loss of the "loving feeling" for each other. Please visit my webpage at Well Marriage Center to learn all about my philosophy and marriage-friendly approach (one- click link on the left under my picture).

I prioritize client agency and collaboration and the healing capacity of the therapeutic relationship.
I am passionate about supporting clients experiencing life transitions and serious mental health challenges in understanding their inner experience, navigating their trauma, and celebrating and reinforcing their strengths with a collaborative approach. I particularly enjoy working with teenagers, young adults, and families, folks with expansive experiences of gender and sexuality, neurodiversity, and those with histories of housing instability, complex trauma, and dissociative symptoms.

Topics include: "Anxiety and Depression," " Couples and their Issues," "The Addictions," "Unemployment," "Venus and Mars" and "Aging and the Caregivers.
I have been assisting people to overcome depression, anxiety and to repair relationships seemingly in free-fall for more than 40 years. Because there is no shortcut to peace and well-being, treatment is open-ended, tailored to each person's unique needs. Teletherapy by computer, tablet, and smartphone is available for individual, couple, and group treatment sessions. With COVID-19, Shelter-in-Place puts even more stress on relationships and employment. Alcohol, drug use, and porn addiction can make relationships even harder. I have much experience assisting addicts to achieve a more peaceful and productive life for self and family.

I use a strengths-based approach to therapy. Treatment builds on your positive traits and the things that are working in your life. In couples work, the perspective of each participant is heard and then I help you to find common ground or understanding. I take a solution-focused approach to help you resolve conflict. I work with adults, couples and families. I see women who have had trauma in their past, such as abuse and neglect. I also work with individuals who are in transition and need some clarity.

I take a client-centered, integrative approach to helping adults, couples and children work through a variety of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, substance abuse, life stressors, relationship issues and more.
Whether you are struggling with a lifelong mental health disorder or going through a particularly stressful phase of your life, prioritizing your mental health is the first step towards living the life you want to lead. I believe the therapeutic relationship is as central to the effectiveness of therapy as the "work" itself. After building a connection with you, I will provide you with a supportive space to process, as well as equip you with the tools and skills you need to make progress towards your goals.
