As a Marriage and Family Therapist for 25 years I have extensive experience helping couples and individuals confront life's challenges. My goal is to help you transform life's difficulties into opportunities for growth and change. By employing various innovative techniques and strategies your dreams can become realities. Anger, fear, judgement and doubt have a tendency to get in the way of achieving our goals and can render us feeling isolated and hopeless. Remember, your feelings of joy, confidence, optimism and hope that we possessed. Those feelings can be revived and reborn in a safe, trusting therapeutic environment.I have spent many years counseling children and adults who were victims and perpetrators of physical, sexual and emotional abuse. Issues, such as anger, depression, coping skills, conflict resolution, alcoohol, substance abuse, trauma and stress and anxiety management were addressed,For several years I had the privilege of counseling and servicing military personnel and their families. I provided situational, short term, problem solving services. Life skills, such as anger management, communication and relationahip issues were addressed. Other military issues addressed were deployment anxiety, relocation adjustment, loss and grief and trauma.
