Whether this is your first counseling experience or not, welcome to a unique opportunity to learn about yourself and others in your life. Together we will forge collaboration and I will gently guide you through new life insights, achievements and goals. We can develop a fresh awareness of patterns in your relationships and of your personal and social goals. Let’s see if together we can improve your sense of well-being and identify your unique voice, strengths and skills. My style is friendly, accepting and open. This enhances my work with pre-teens, teens, adults, couples, families, and groups.

I use a strength-based and solution-focused approach to help with anxiety and depression, individuals facing career and life transitions, and individuals with disabilities and medical diagnoses. My special interests are addressing diversity issues and works with adolescents and adults in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning and ally community. Additional skills include stress management techniques, mindfulness, community and family systems work, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I strive to adapt my approach to meet individual and family needs.
