Asking for help can be frightening and the first step can feel hard.

I am here to welcome you where you are and support you. I have great faith in the power of human resilience, as I have witnessed in over 30 years of medical practice. I want to utilize all I have gleaned from the practice of medicine, and my own life, helping people flourish in their own beautiful and complicated lives.

I chose Marriage and Family Counseling because this perspective sees people as part of a bigger system; their life, families, work, and community. My work as a marriage and family therapy student intern is grounded within research and theory, it supports the notion of hope and resiliency. One of the theories I employ is emotion-based which creates connections through the language of feelings. I am also a great believer that we have the power and choice to create the narrative or story of our lives, with the proper guidance and support. Counseling is a way to have an advocate to explore complicated, confusing issues, or the simple feeling of being stuck.

Therapy does not have to be scary; it can be a beautiful journey into the unknown with a kind, compassionate ally. It would be my privilege to help you or your loved ones on this journey. My emphasis as a counselor is with individuals, couple or family issues, and children who are adolescent age and older. Working with the entire system you live in, resonates with me. I am trained in issues including trauma, family strife, life transitions, fertility, menopause, aging, terminal illness, grief, anxiety, depression, spiritual confusion, intimacy issues, cultural conflict, divorce, and blended families.
