My ideal client has hope, a feeling of expectation and a desire for a certain thing to happen. Be encouraged. There is hope for that change you have been longing for. With 20+ years of experience in the fields of counseling and education, I delight to join you on your journey of change. I work from a trauma focused model, striving to resolve deeply disturbing experiences, restoring lives that are shaken by events and personal challenges, reestablishing connections and attachments that you were created to enjoy.

This path leads to counseling for grief, marriages, sexual abuse, families with adopted children, depression, and anxiety. Traumas often result from broken attachments with primary caregivers in early childhood. Dramatic and rapid improvement is often seen after trauma resolution.

Walking with adoptive families to establish the security and trust vital for families to thrive is a special interest. Accepting of all faiths, I actively pursue my relationship with Jesus Christ and offer the choice of faith based counseling. There is hope and help.
