30 years offering treatment
I am a Marriage and Family therapist with over 30 years experience. I have worked in a variety of settings: community mental health settings, inpatient alcohol and drug treatment counselor, as well as an outpatient counselor for recovering people and family members, Sexual Assault Crisis Center working with adults recently assaulted, or assaulted as children. I have maintained a private practice for much of my career, helping people navigate divorce, death, job loss, changes to employment, depression, anxiety, stress, anger, parenting, relationships, and health changes. For the last 10 years I have worked exclusively with our military and their families on military installations in the United States, as well as installations outside the United States. I believe the single best predictor of a helpful experience in therapy/counseling is the relationship between counselor and client. I want to have an early conversation with clients about goals. What is it the client wants to gain or achieve from our time together. I encourage clients to use community resources when available and appropriate. Hurting people frequently do better with a network of support. The goal is for clients to develop a way to successfully navigate the pain that brought them to our time together. My style is interactive. My approach to providing counseling is eclectic: humanistic, psychodynamic as well as rational emotive. What a session looks like/feels like is driven by client needs. A recent widows' needs are different from those of a 30 year old struggling with sobriety. It takes courage to ask for help. I am cognizant that I stand on sacred ground when another person shares their pain, fear and struggles.

Life can be confusing and frustrating. Counseling can help you to explore and make decisions towards a healthy future. Taking care of one's emotional health is important, you are worth it.

8 years offering treatment
I work with individuals, couples, and families who are ready for something different. They have spent hours analyzing the problem on their own, and they are open to professional help. I have spent over a decade studying and practicing how to create change. I offer therapy that is built upon a conversation that helps - one that is focused on discovering solutions. I don’t believe we have to talk at length about the problem in order to make change happen. Hasn’t the problem taken enough of your time and energy? We will start day one of therapy working towards finding the change you desire. I am trained as a marriage and family therapist, which is a field of therapy that works with one person or multiple people in the therapy room. This means I am qualified to address problems from a larger perspective than just focusing on you alone. Because you are not the problem - the problem is the problem.
