I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist providing individual, couple, and family therapy for a wide range of relationship and personal challenges. Working in a peaceful, confidential environment, I believe that, like a pebble dropped into a quiet pond, change in any individual has a ripple effect through the family, extending into the community, and eventually the world. There may be times you will find me active, asking many questions, as we explore those behaviors that may be preventing you from reaching your goals. Other times I can be quiet, assimilating information shared to get a better picture of where we need to go in our work. Either way, our relationship will be a “collaborative” one, with your best interests at heart. 

Typical topics of discussion in marriage therapy are infidelity, loss of intimacy, unresolved conflict, power struggles, communication issues, incompatibility and divorce. Family therapy may consist of adoption and foster care, children’s school performance, and persistent family conflict. Individual therapy may be useful in resolving issues of depression, anxiety, addiction, spiritual concerns, and loss and grief.

My approach is to look at you in relation to your environment, to understand your needs and concerns. I wish to be as human as possible-open, understanding, and emotionally accessible as we both try to comprehend the human experience. I would be honored to work with you to achieve your goals. Please call 805-870-5344 or click the button below to contact me for an individual, couples, or family therapy consultation today.
