Personal difficulties can be very disheartening. Whether you are experiencing emotional pain, are seeing your children struggle to make good decisions, or are longing for a greater sense of well-being, you can be left feeling defeated, helpless and angry. But things can get better. As a clinical therapist, I am experienced in working with those who are facing life’s struggles. Together we can explore the source of the problems, set goals to improve your situation, and lay out steps to reach those goals. All that is needed is a commitment to work toward making things better, and a belief that you are not stuck in the muck of today. I am a graduate of Notre Dame, and hold a Master's degree in clinical counseling. I love helping people and have a warm approach, but am also known to challenge people to take active steps toward improvement and a happier life. Truly things can get better once you take the first steps, and I would be happy to help you reach your goals of improved happiness, success and joy.

I work with adults as individuals and couples on issues such as personal growth, depression, anxiety/stress, anger management, relationship concerns, LGBTQ+ issues, grief/loss, and coping with changes that occur as one journeys through life. I strive to provide an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared and processed without fear of judgment. When working with clients, I use an eclectic approach. Eclectic therapy is a very versatile psychotherapy that draws from multiple evidence-based therapy approaches in order to select the best treatment for each individual client. Instead of being stuck in one therapy modality, the therapist and client can switch between multiple approaches as appropriate. Some advantages of Eclectic therapy include: The therapy is adapted to the client rather than the client having to fit into a set model It is useful for multiple and complex problems The techniques used are research-based and shown to be effective My availability varies. Although I have made Wednesday afternoons available, I am semi-retired and can schedule for other times, if needed.
