VITALITY-HOPE-ENDURANCE! The spirit of my counseling invites others to move through change with compassion and care, in order to heal from the pain of the past, discover your true self in the present and build on strengths to achieve a fuller and more meaningful future. I use gentle humor within a relaxed atmosphere to help others transform their lives one step at a time, aware that each step is progress. I want to inspire hope and offer nurturing support to all I work with in individual, marital, family and group counseling.

I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and enjoy working with children and adults who have experienced trauma in their lives. EMDR is a short-term treatment for trauma that has been shown to be rapidly effective.

My counseling philosophy is to listen with respect and care, to join clients on their journey, help discover solutions, support growth, development and a sense of identity in each individual. I take a holistic approach to support each client in discovering their fuller, richer life in body, mind and spirit.
