Greetings and Welcome, Thank you, in advance, for this esteemed consideration. Choosing a therapist can be as daunting as the inner work itself and one of my initial goals is to always honor the courageous decision to allow someone "in" (which can often be a difficult step to overcome). It takes a certain amount of strength to recognize when a little assistance may be needed to get through life's challenges (recent or long-standing), and I would welcome the opportunity to be a helpful, therapeutic ally. I am a client-focused Counselor with 25+ years of experience in inpatient and outpatient settings. As an accomplished care-setting clinician, engaging communicator and empathetic listener, I strive to create a safe, authentic and collaborative space that supports your current needs and encourages overall well-being. Helpful in that purpose, is respecting the importance of understanding the issues from your perspective utilizing evidence-based modalities that include, but are not limited to motivational interviewing, client-centered/narrative/solution-focused and talk therapies. In partnering with me you can look forward to being heard objectively and valued. Together, let’s endeavor to increase clarity and lessen uncertainty or doubt. You’re not alone. It’s nice to e-meet you!

My approach to my clients is very focused on finding solutions based on the issues they bring to therapy. In my 43 years of experience I have dealt with depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, grief and loss. I have worked with many individuals who have been traumatized at all stages of life. I believe in the use of positive, client centered therapy which empowers people to recognize their strengths and abilities to reach their goals. I am also capable of working with persons who have lost their spiritual direction and feel they have lost their connection with their Christian values. I have recently worked for 4 years with people with neurodevelopmental disorders such as those on the Autism Spectrum and with severe intellectual disabilities. I believe that everyone can learn and grow no matter what they are dealing with!
