Great to meet you!

With over 26 years experience as a social worker and 8 years in pastoral care, I bring a unique perspective to our sessions. This can be instrumental in helping you find resolution in your season of need. You'll get a compassionate and judgement free approach to therapy. Feeling depressed anxious, stressed and/or overwhelmed, struggling with substance use/abuse, grief & loss, domestic violence, and/or marriage/family/relationship issues? Let me help.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in crisis intervention, solution focused therapy, cognitive therapy, storytelling, narrative therapy, strengths based, reality therapy, mindfulness and family systems. Christian approach to therapy is also available if desired. My treatment modalities are client specific and designed to restore balance during your time of crisis.

What you can expect from me

I work with individuals, families, couples, veterans, and groups to help regain their mind-body-soul connection.
