Counseling

In addition to being a writer, I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who specializes in coaching individuals, couples, and families in making positive changes that enrich their lives. I have fifteen years of experience supporting my clients in overcoming anxiety, resolving interpersonal conflicts, and reaching for higher levels of satisfaction and potential. I utilize family systems and narrative therapies as well as mindfulness skills to help people move through the healing process so they can create happier relationships and lives.
As a trained family therapist, I explore family-of-origin issues with my clients, but I also utilize Neurolingustic Programming techniques and cognitive behavioral interventions to support clients in meeting their goals. My approach is warm and client-centered, focusing on creating a trusting environment where collaboration and respect are paramount.
Areas of interest and expertise include the following:
- Grief and loss
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Parenting coaching
- Adolescents
- Life transitions
- Creativity and artistic expression
