Welcome

Looking for a therapist that is right for you can be daunting.  Where do you start?

I recommend two essential components:  (1)  The degree of experience and skill the therapist has; (2) Finding the right fit.

 It can be costly, time consuming, and exhausting to pay for an hour to get a feel for a right fit.  That's why I offer a free 30 meet 'n greet.  While this is not therapy, it is an opportunity to assess for suitability.  I believe the relationship between client-therapist is absolutely necessary to facilitate your successful therapy.   Life experiences are something that a text book cannot provide, yet it is paramount in the quality of therapy you receive.  As a wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, along with my 20 years personal growth, I bring depth, wisdom, and compassion to the theraputice relationship.

I hope you take the first step to greater happiness by calling for an appointment today.  I answer all calls within 24 hours M-F

Specialties: Marriage/couple relationship issues; depression; anxiety; emotional/physical/sexual abuse recovery; addiction aftercare.

My style is whole-hearted, compassionate, yet no-nonsense.  I am committed to my own personal growth and healing, and have had the privilege to be mentored personally by outstanding therapists when I had my own therapy.  In addition, I draw from extensive training, and creative intuition. I use an eclectic approach such as:  Emotional Focus, Attachment Theory, Family-of-origin,, 12-Step (when treating addictions) as well as creative expression such as sand tray, journaling, and music.  

I look forward to sharing your healing experience.
