I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing both short- and longer-term therapy to individuals, couples and families with a broad range of problems.

I enjoy working with clients and they enjoy working with me.  I’m compassionate and patient and am committed to help you address issues that challenge your life.

Some of my specialties include:  Trauma, PTSD, Military, Law Enforcement and their Families, Chronic Health Issues, Phobias, ADHD, School Problems and Learning Disabilities, Career Transitions, Addiction & Recovery, Divorce, Blended Families, and Stress Reduction.

Additionally, I have advanced training in hypnotherapy for medical issues and lifestyle changes.  To learn more, click on My Services and then Medical Hypnotherapy for information about how hypnotherapy can help you.

And now, some personal information about me:  As a wife and mother, I know it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to make a relationship successful.  I remember those days when my children were young and I just wanted to pull my hair out but at the end of the day, I experienced my heart swell with love and pride for my children.

With my professional training and life experiences I’m attuned to issues you face and I’m available to help you overcome the challenges you are experiencing today.
