Maybe you’ve arrived here feeling stuck, overwhelmed, hopeless, or fed-up. Maybe your life and relationships aren’t what they could be and you feel alone. Maybe you’ve tried everything you can think of, but nothing seems to work.

Let’s talk. Hope and healing begin as you feel heard, understood and companioned. I’d be so honored to hear your story and work with you on new possibilities. My approach is client-centered and trauma-informed, drawing from a variety of therapies as needed. I’m trained to work with individuals, couples, and families in a wide range of subjects; I also have personal experience as a foster and adoptive parent, caring for aging parents, and supporting persons with terminal illnesses.

As your therapist, I provide a calming influence and hope for you in your life. You will leave feeling understood and with a belief that there are things you can learn and do to change your life situation. If changes can’t be made, I can help you move through your feelings and your grief to facilitate moving forward.

I provide my clients a warm and understanding atmosphere, combined with an intelligent response to your situation. I listen and teach my clients about subtle issues they may not have considered.

If you desire, I can recommend books to read which may help you process and learn. Assignments, such as journaling, can continue your growth process outside of our sessions and this is recommended, as is possible and necessary.

My spiritual perspective is based in the Christian Faith and I am comfortable talking with you about your spiritual concerns and about your relationship with God if you wish, whatever your faith experience may be.
