"I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist who has enjoyed extensive experience

working with a variety of families, children, adolescents, couples, and individuals. I have

a talent for developing positive, dynamic relationships with all of my clients, regardless

of their age and circumstance. I know that the most powerful factor in successful therapy

is the relationship itself. What is integral to that winning relationship is my ability be warm, respectful, to listen carefully in order learn more about your world. I see each person as

a unique individual, who brings many strengths to the table, as well as challenges.

A recent passion of mine includes those on the Autism Spectrum. I have attended

numerous workshops, conferences, and I have had numerous clients on the Spectrum.

I have the ability to connect very successfully with these individuals and also have

success working with siblings and parents who are impacted, too.

My life experiences as a daughter, wife, mother, and grandmother give me the balance

of my own life history that better informs my work and ability to provide insightful,

thoughtful, feedback to my clients. Also, I lost 100 pounds 2 years ago and have kept it

off so far!"
