It is my goal to help couples and families live their  best lives.  Life is filled with triumphs, let downs, hopes and hurdles. I am a knowledgeable, skilled, compassionate therapist and value the opportunity to work with your family through difficulties.

I have over 20 years of experience working with families.  I have years of experience in education working with children and their families in a school setting as teacher, intervention specialist, and school counselor.  The last 10 years I have spent providing professional counseling to couples and families with a variety of backgrounds and issues.  I specialize in helping others build healthy relationships that enhance family cohesiveness and improve lives.

I have extensive professional training and experience, however, I believe my personal life has been my most valued instructor.

I grew up in a large family, providing me with a wide variety of relationship triumphs and challenges.  I have been married for more than 25 years and have four children.  Many of the tools I have learned along the way, I have utilized with my own family, friends, and marriage.  

Helping families and finding the most effective ways to do so, is my favorite hobby.  I also enjoy reading,  riding my bike, travel, and writing.

In my work, it is important to tailor treatment to you and your family's specific desires and needs.

I am always open to your questions and concerns and would love the opportunity to help you live your best life.
