If you find you need help to renew your strength, find hope, or find freedom from unhealthy patterns; if you feel disconnected from yourself, your family, or your friends, or if you are questioning the meaning and purpose of your life, I am committed to helping you identify and remove the barriers that prevent you from moving forward and finding peace.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with an MA in Counseling Psychology and a Pre-doctorate certificate in theology. My clinical focus is working with Individuals, Groups, Adults, Adolescents, and Couples. In the past 30+ years, I have worked with a diverse clientele on a wide range of life issues.

I have had formal training and extensive experience in treating a range of traumatic disorders, including complex PTSD and dissociative disorders, grief and loss issues, relationship issues, co-occurring disorders, depression (including bipolar depression), psychotic disorders, personality disorders and substance use disorders ranging from prevention to late-stage dependence, pathological gambling, and advanced recovery concerns, including couple specific issues.

My clinical philosophy is based on my belief in the unfailing goodness of God and the experience of successfully working with people from all walks of life using techniques and tools firmly grounded in theory.

Because we are each fearfully and wonderfully made, you will be treated like a person and not like a diagnostic label as useful as they may be. Your treatment will be tailored to your needs, and you will determine if and how much spirituality enters into sessions. I embrace the guiding principles of trauma-informed treatment, including safety, choice, collaboration, trustworthiness and empowerment.
