As a therapist for over 20 years, I have gained some insight into human behavior and learned some good techniques to  help you get through whatever you are struggling with and be able to live your best life. With a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, I have a passion for working with couples and have experience with infidelity, communication issues, lack of intimacy, step-family issues, abuse, and how we show and feel love. I cannot stress how important Premarital Counseling is. It is always better to avoid  issues instead of trying to fix them after they have caused damage.

I also have a lot of experience working individually with people with depression and anxiety, including obsessive compulsive disorders and self-mutilation. Overstressed moms and dads, and  parenting issues are right up my alley as I have 4 kids of my own!   I love working with kids and adolescents and have extensive training in Play Therapy.  I am straight forward and honest and understand how hard life can be when it is out of balance.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy most often with an overlay of systems theory, where I consider the big picture and how each client fits into and is effected by their environment, including family members, experiences, society, cultures, etc.  I look forward to working with all of my clients.
