WELCOME

Individuals and relationships have within them the capacity to face adversity and find greater strength and intimacy in working through it. In my counseling practice, I create a safe and supportive environment to empower growth and healing, offering empathetic guidance and realistic solutions for lasting change.

When complications arise in life, it is not always easy to find simple solutions and the task of working through difficulty may feel too overwhelming. In an attempt to "move-on" we may seek to hide our pain or cover up our problems with mal-adaptive coping strategies. This can perpetuate personal suffering and/or negative relational patterns and manifest in other symptoms such as depression, anxiety, addiction, self-destruction, ongoing conflict and emotional distance, for example. Together we will seek out avenues for personal and relational change, finding positive and enduring solutions to live a more meaningful life.

Drawing on many areas of ongoing training and research, I am able to tailor my approach to therapy to best fit the needs of each client. I counsel from a systems perspective that recognizes the influence of the many relational spheres in one's life, such as family, community, work and culture so that the change that happens in the therapy office is more likely to have lasting impact. My approach to counseling is holistic honoring biological, psychological, social, and spiritual spheres of life as they are relevant to therapy. I work with a wide range of ages through many stages of life including adults, adolescents, children, couples, and groups. I also lead seminars in mental, relational and spiritual well being.
