As a fellow traveler on life’s journey, I am thankful for the experiences, faith and training I’ve received which I offer to clients of all ages and life stages. As a therapist, I strive to extend a relationship of unconditional caring in which people can safely explore the difficulties in their lives. As the tangles of life become unraveled in the counseling process, clients have the opportunity to find holistic healing, transforming hope, and strong handles for going forward with greater confidence and joy.
