About

I am a solution-focused, collaborative therapist and I am highly motivated to help you achieve your goals as quickly as possible. If you are interested in approaching therapy from a faith-based perspective I am happy to include that in our work as well. I have completed the professional training for EMDR (Eye Movement, Desensitization, and Reprocessing). Also, through personal experience and training, I have developed skills to support others on their journey out of the prison of addiction and alcoholism into freedom and fuller life. I also am trained to help couples. One reason I provide marriage counseling is that I have seen it work! My own marriage and blending family have seen immense healing and growth through counseling, beyond what I expected. In providing individual and couple counseling, I have seen people discover strength and meaning and healing they have been needing and wanting and progress toward their goals in ways they never imagined. It is inspiring and humbling.
