My Mission:

My desire is to help each person that I counsel to gain hope, clarity, balance and a sense of well-being.  

I use theories and techniques that are evidence based; primarily the theories of Person Centered, Third Wave Cognitive Behavioral, Solution Focused counseling, and the work of John Gottman (the leading marriage researcher of our time). 

I am qualified in many different techniques, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and will utilize these tools to appropriately assist client progress.
