A Bit About Me and How We Might Work Together 

I enjoy serving a diverse range of adults and couples. My counseling style is conversational, solution-focused, empowering and goal oriented. We will work together to determine the best approach based on your goals, circumstances, and personality! 

My goal is to help enable you to develop effective and holistic coping techniques to live a more free, authentic, and meaningful life. Together we will address issues such as relationship struggles, communication barriers, or the effects of depression, anxiety, traumatic experiences, grief, perfectionism, and aging-related changes. 

Some of the Therapeutic Approaches available to us are: 

• Trauma Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) 

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) 

• The Gottman Method for individuals and couples 

• Motivational Interviewing 

• Strength-based / Solution-focused  

Because of my own life experience I am sensitive to each person’s need to be heard, be understood, and have a safe space to heal.  My life has been a continual process of learning and growth, and I bring that viewpoint to my efforts to compassionately support you.   

My counseling journey began with helping the displaced in inner cities and evolved to working in a variety of health care settings and community mental health clinics. I still do much of that, as well as helping people via Family Counseling Associates.
