Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience in the behavioral health field. Through my work with addictions, trauma, family, and couples, I have learned relationships are at the core of our life experience and are responsible for our sense of well-being & life satisfaction. It is very tough to thrive while being involved in constant crisis & anxiety or trying to navigate life with unresolved trauma and constant conflict. I truly understand the struggle on more levels than simple academics and take a personal yet direct approach to therapy.

My approach to therapy

I am particularly adept at understanding relationship dynamics. I work with people to interrupt their current cycles of engagement and learn to interact and engage life in a way that produces personal growth & relational repair. I am a Christian with 25 years of experience working with families, addictions trauma & marginalized communities.

What you can expect from me

My goal for our first session is to get to the heart of the issue. I tend to be fairly directive and psychoeducational in my approach. By the end of our first session we will have conceptualized what is going on in your situation, what you are responsible for and identify what is out of your control. Our need to grow, mature, and heal is implicit in our experience and reflected in our circumstance. We will uncover that need and apply intervention that progresses you towards peace.
