Great to meet you!

I have many years of counseling with individuals, couples, and families. I work to create a safe, welcoming space where healing, learning, growing can occur is essential for the therapeutic process. I believe the therapeutic process is a shared journey and in my counseling role I help support and guide the process.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My graduate work is in marriage & family counseling. My professional practice includes the abuse and neglect, sexual assault, domestic violence, divorce, couples/marriage counseling. I’ve worked with many people as they move toward a healthier, loving existence. My continued education is in the areas of the unconscious & dream world, conflict resolution & spirituality.

What you can expect from our first session

My work with couples is on building communication skills and emotional intimacy, healing childhood traumas, improving parenting skills, and recovery from traumas and loss.
