I have been in this field for nearly 20 years. My passion has been empowering my clients to make changes in their lives. I look to get at the underbelly of where they are stuck, needs attention, or healing in their lives. There may be some CBT strategies used, but that is not my primary focus while I work with my clients. I have worked with all ages. Currently, I treat older children and into adulthood. I am passionate in working with women, exploring women's issues, and life transitions. This includes those healing from a divorce, unhealthy relationships, or looking to make a life change. With children and teens, I focus on skills and strategies to set them up for success for adulthood. I work with a lot of depression and anxiety. I also work with all ages that are suffering from grief. There is the grief of a loved one. There is also the grief of an ending to a chapter in life. The ending to the hopes and dreams one has created for themselves. Grief appears in many different ways and I love sitting with my clients in their sorrow, for them to be understood and to work on healing.
