Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

What inspires me is my ability to quickly provide people with the knowledge, skills, and motivation to heal/thrive. I have degrees in developmental psychology, philosophy, and an MSW in clinical social work. I have been a practicum supervisor with the William Glasser Institute since 1993. I look forward to working with you when you are ready to begin.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I find the use of pragmatic, evidence-based, approaches, and various wisdom traditions to be most helpful to the individuals and groups I work with. However, the core of my success in this work has always been the ability to establish the kind of relationship that enables people to successfully craft their own unique path to health and well-being. I look forward to meeting you!

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Hello, and welcome! To start, I want you to know I provide a no-fee 15 minute initial session for prospective clients, because I believe a good fit is essential to effective counseling. This first short meeting should allow you to determine whether that’s the case. I am a seasoned therapist who has been successful across more than three decades in supporting individuals, families, and groups to attain and maintain a strong sense of well-being. The core of my success has always been my ability to help people to efficiently and effectively achieve their goals. I look forward to meeting you, and getting started in our work together. I have expertise in Child and Family Mental Health, military family support, men’s work, addictions treatment, executive coaching, fostering healthy relationships, and IPV interventions. My clinical work combines, EMDR, CBT, Family Systems, and Narrative Therapy in combination with various wisdom traditions to help individuals achieve their desired goals.
