Perhaps you have lost a loved one, or are facing some major life decisions. You may be struggling in your marriage, at work, with parenting or other family issues. Whatever the reason, you have come to the right place. I am an experienced Individual, Couple, and Family Therapist, trained in clinical settings, who possesses an ever expanding repertoire of clinical skills and qualifications, including expertise in the fields of marriage therapy and trauma recovery.
There are many counsellors, with different approaches, training backgrounds, and experience, so you may be wondering, " How do I know I have the right one?" The best way to find out is to call and share a little of what of are struggling with. Let your counsellor tell you what she believes about therapy and why it can work for you specifically. I invite you to read my training biography under the header "Your Counsellor", above.
My clients soon discover that my approach is very practical and research-based, meaning that I offer insight and coaching from models of therapy that have been well researched and proven to produce positive results. I believe in the approaches that I use and am excited about using them because I see them work time and time again. I am pretty down-to-earth and care genuinely about my clients. I want to see you succeed and be happy, as individuals, as couples, and as families. I love the work that I do and strive to apply what I call "The Grace Principle" to everyone I meet and every situation I encounter. This means that I am choose to suspend judgement; to look for and cultivate the dreams that lay beneath the struggle and the conflict. “Grace must find expression in life, otherwise it is not grace” - Karl Barth.
