My focus is helping people understand their strengths and weaknesses, successes and losses, and learn from what they have experienced in the world. I strive to help my clients affirm their purpose in life and achieve their future goals. I help clients to understand and explore their beliefs and adjust them to meet their current goals.

The alchemy of healing implies change from one form to another. The change can be in your thought process, a change in awareness, change in relationships; all changes for the better, changes which help the soul retain its youth. Healing and change can only come from within, but is a process nonetheless. That is what counseling provides, a safe environment in which healing and change can occur.

I have worked in mental health for over 30 years with all sorts of clients and issues and continue to love to work with diverse issues at all stages of life. I believe that most emotional/mental health issues we face are understandable and, with awareness, intention and support, treatable. I specialize in couple's therapy and family therapy, using the most current techniques in relationship counseling. EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) systematically addresses deep relationship issues and empowers profound and lasting change. Therapy with me begins from a place of curiosity. Through conversation in a safe, nonjudgmental environment, we explore what brought you here and where you want to go.
