Welcome!

As a practical, solution-focused licensed therapist, my treatment approach is to provide support and feedback to help clients resolve current problems and long-standing patterns. With sensitivity and compassion, I help clients find solutions to a wide range of life challenges and issues.

I am a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist. My training is centered around the idea that our family of origin impacts our current relationship dynamics, as well as how we interact with the world. Family Systems Theory applies to everyone because everyone is a product of a family at one time or another. It's all about relationships. Contrary to the title, I don't exclusively work with couples and families. This is the framework that informs my work, whether it's with individuals or more than one person at a time. I enjoy working with couples as well as individuals and have an equal number of both on my caseload at a given time. I draw on a variety of styles and techniques to incorporate what will be most helpful for each client. I work with each client to help them build on their strengths to identify and achieve life goals.

I provide counseling from a Christian perspective, which means that my training and practice involve seeking wisdom for myself through prayer, Scripture reading, and an overall dependence on God's leading for those I work with.  Sometimes, I incorporate those things in my direct care with clients, if they so desire.  However, I realize that not everyone comes from the same belief system or faith practice as I do and I am able to respect and show love and compassion to people of all backgrounds.  If you have other questions about my perspective, please feel free to ask me as I strive to be approachable about any concerns you may have.

This has been my life's work and my sincere hope is that you will see my heart for hope and healing that counseling can bring throughout this website.
