Beginning a therapeutic relationship with a counselor takes courage, and I applaud you for taking the first step. I provide compassionate and practical therapy to children, teens, adults, and families on issues such as the following:

 

• Depression
• Grief and loss
• Adoption challenges
• Compassion fatigue or secondary trauma
• Parenting techniques
• ADHD
• Communication styles
• Coping with difficulties in daily life

 

My goal is to assist you in identifying and resolving the difficulties that keep you from getting what you want for you and for your family. Together, we will explore options to help you achieve your goals.

 

I bring over 30 years of experience working with children and families in foster care, adoption agencies, and community mental health agencies. I have worked for, and understand, the state child welfare system. My therapeutic style is very eclectic, utilizing solution-focused therapy, family-centered practice, behavioral focus and more traditional psychodynamic counseling. But most important, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of my client’s needs to help attain the personal growth they’re striving for.
