A number of my clients have reported told that I am not like other therapists; that I have a down-to-earth approach that is based on my own journey of learning, healing, and growing (which continues to unfold) combined with my education and life experiences. I have over 30 years in recovery, with a wide variety of professional experiences, and I relish a sense of humor as a wonderfully effective tool in therapeutic work. I have over 12 years experience working with couples, individuals, teens, and children. I utilize an Eclectic approach, which means I draw from a wide variety of therapeutic techniques, including CBT, Person-Centered, and Solution Focused. My intention in working with my clients is to be Unconditionally Present to their needs and facilitate the deep and authentic healing they seek.
