I have 10 years experience with families, individuals, children, adolescents, and couples. I blend solution focused and client centered techniques with alternative approaches to guide each client to towards a renewal of their goals and passion.

I provide individual, couples, group and customized Intensive counseling, as well as LPC Supervision.

I specialize in serving adults (21+) and couples who feel stuck, have unresolved grief, struggle with unmanageable stress or betrayed trust (pornography, infidelity), have concerns with personal boundaries or codependency, have relatives or friends who abuse substances, work on their own recovery, or desire true healing from trauma or abuse (emotional, physical, substance or sexual).

I invite a relational, interpersonal approach with my clients, as we engage your beliefs, needs, hopes, and expectations - even for therapy itself. Many clients also find it helpful to look at the ways in which their past continues to be replayed in dissatisfying current relationships, situations and experiences.
