Specializes in

Depression and Family Issues

Great to meet you!

I have worked for over 30 years with those who have experienced difficulties with life transitions, as well as challenges with depression, anxiety, or family conflicts. Acutely aware that life can pull the rug out from underneath us with an unexpected life or traumatic experience, I have worked with survivors of violence and traumatic loss. I have loved ones who live with mental illness and know the burden that this can place on the loved one and other family members.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I hold a certificate in family dynamics from the Center for Family Consultation. I also received advanced training in pastoral counseling and theology at Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary.

What you can expect from our first session

I bring a warm family focused outlook to my work with clients.
