I have over 35 years of experience working with individuals and families in crisis and providing marriage and couples counseling.
I encourage healthy communication and feedback from each family member using family systems therapy. I believe the healing process starts with the willingness to change, commitment, and consistency. "My journey toward becoming a therapist began while I was working in adult probation. That experience led me to explore what it takes to find strength through life’s most difficult challenges and to avoid involvement in crime. It also showed me the powerful role therapy can play in recovery and strengthened my commitment to supporting others on their healing journeys. Inspired by this work, I returned to school to earn my master’s degree in social work. I remain guided by the belief that everyone has the capacity for growth and change. Seeing my clients build confidence and find peace makes this work deeply rewarding."
First session
During the first session, I used a fun game to get to know you and for you to get to know me as well. As a process, we will continue to engage in solutions and goals for improvement and self-satisfaction. I will listen to you without judgment and challenge you if necessary when you hide your unique talents.
Strengths
My approach is to demonstrate that I am human, just like you, but can use my experiences to assist you in making changes in your life. I I have a lot of book "learning" over the years, but I will be real with you at all times. I will listen to you without judgment. After a session with me, you should begin to feel that there is a solution to the pain, problem, or situation you are involved in. You should see a path moving forward.
Ideal clients
I love to share and communicate with couples, individuals, and families who seek assistance for their concerns and problems. If you have problems at home, at work, or within your family unit, I look forward to helping you. I focus on senior issues, crisis intervention, anxiety, and trauma.
