Great to meet you!

I have been a therapist for over 35 years. I am also a RN retired by profession. I have worked in many areas of therapy including sexual addiction, couples, child and adolescents, depression and anxiety. I enjoy all that I have done and I expect clients to do their homework. I will self-disclose my own struggles when appropriate. I am a believer and Christian but I do not judge anyone else for their beliefs or lifestyles. I am creative, an open book and like to get to know you.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I meet people where they are and am open to their situations. I have no judgements of anything but may ask questions to either get you thinking or educate myself. I think I can always learn something from you. I believe a good therapist will work their way out of a job, educating you how to be your own best counselor. I use the idea of positive thinking, your family of origin and behavioral techniques. Try me!

What you can expect from our first session

If you can you take honest feedback and open discussion you will feel better each time we have met for therapy. I can give you hope and encouragement and be there for you when you need me. You will be informed and have resources to return to.
