Great to meet you!

Are you experiencing feelings of victimhood, frustration over things that are our of your control, anger or lack of focus? If so, I'd love to help you. My career has evolved over 30 years as a civilian direct services therapist for our United States Army Soldiers and their spouses. In earlier years, I was involved in geriatrics to include nursing home social work, as administrator, and as a consultant for a major nursing home chain.

My approach to therapy

I offer an engaging, accepting, and problem-solving approach to therapy. My role is to serve as the navigator in helping you arrive safely, securely, and expeditiously toward your chosen destination. You might arrive carrying patterns that were once protective but have become stumbling blocks. I have a never-say-never approach for helping you reach your desired potential. I'll help you move past those stumbling blocks with the underlying belief that we have the right and the ability to experience joy.

What you can expect from me

Let's start with this, therapy is here to lighten the burden, not add to it. We'll find some reasons to laugh along the way. Clients typically describe me as someone who "get's them" and are able to feel comfortable from the initial, "Hello". That is my goal, for you to have joy in your healing and growth while I get to look forward to learning about your unique story, and finding how we can best work together in order to accomplish your goals.
