Great to meet you!

I lived in the military world as a spouse for over 20 years and did work with active duty, retired military members and their families. I have over 25 years of experience working with children, young adults and their families.

Therapy is work and can be a challenging process. Working to improve your mental health, should stay on the to-do list everyday.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is that it needs to be open, honest and solution-focused. Taking the traumatic events and sorting them out will help to extract the good that is sometimes hard to see when the pain from trauma seems to get in the way.

What you can expect from me

I hope clients take away the strength to move forward in the direction that helps them to feel hopeful.
