I approach the therapy process with openness to understanding a person's unique strengths and challenges. This style allows me to individualize my treatment for each person through careful assessment of a client's life situation or psychological issue. Some issues are short-term (1-6 sessions) while others require medium to long-term therapy. I am pleased to design the therapeutic experience to accommodate your specific needs.
My passion in therapy is focused around helping my clients build healthy relationships. Through my graduate training as a Marriage and Family Therapist and my 20+ years of experience as a therapist for individuals, couples, and families, I have seen how vital strong relationships are to our mental well-being. I strive to help my clients develop a fuller and richer sense of themselves and their relationships with others. For clients who are Christian, I assist them in interpreting their life situations through their faith.
