About My Clients

I serve a variety of client populations which include individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, anger, relationship challenges, behavioral challenges, attachment issues, addiction issues, and self-esteem issues. I provide individual, family, couples, and group therapy to those ranging in age from middle-childhood through adulthood. Areas of special interest include mood disorders, addictive use disorders, religious/spiritual harm, and first responder counseling.

My Background and Approach

As your counselor, my primary goal is to provide a trusting, safe environment where we can examine whatever you might be facing. Together, we will explore your story, identify strengths, set realistic goals, and work collaboratively on strategies that can help you live a more fulfilling life. I am happy to walk beside you on your journey. Let’s get started!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that successful treatment is rooted in a warm, supportive, and trusting relationship where I utilize an open-minded and non-judgmental attitude to gain a thorough understanding of your experience. I use various therapeutic orientations to include Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
