Issues & Areas I Treat
I realize that no two people are the same and as such tailor my therapy to meet the specific needs of my clients. Whether you are seeking individual therapy for anxiety, depression, or another life challenge, or you are a couple wanting to strengthen your relationship or overcome infidelity, I can help.
Individual Counseling
With over 30 years of clinical experience, I provide individual counseling for clients navigating stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, or a desire for deeper personal growth. My integrative approach—combining cognitive-behavioral therapy, attachment-based work, somatic practices, and neuroscience-informed strategies—helps clients gain clarity, understand patterns, and build lasting resilience. Together, we strengthen emotional, mental, relational, and spiritual well-being in ways that align with your goals and values.
Couples Counseling
I believe any relationship can grow, heal, and improve—and I’m guessing you’re looking not just for “better,” but for a truly great relationship. That is possible. As part of my marital and couples therapy, I use the Gottman Method, a highly researched, evidence-based approach proven to strengthen, repair, and restore relationships. Most couples begin experiencing meaningful progress within the first few sessions using this method.
Faith-Based Counseling
Many of my clients are Christians for whom faith is central—or they want it to become a more integrated part of their lives. I am highly trained and experienced in providing counseling that is referred to as Christian, faith-based, or faith-informed. The counseling I offer honors both clinical best practices and each client’s spiritual beliefs, addressing emotional, mental, relational, and spiritual well-being. Clients determine the extent to which spiritual elements—such as biblical principles, Scripture, prayer, or reflection on matters of the heart—are incorporated into the therapy process. My role is to meet each client where they are and support the approach that aligns best with their beliefs and goals.
