I am a marriage and family therapist who works with families,

couples and individuals of all ages to discover the resources each

of us already has to heal from past hurts, develop new strengths,

and live lives congruent with our most deeply held values.

​

I am experienced in areas including:

Grief and loss

Depression and anxiety

LGBTQIA+ Issues

Divorce and step-parenting

Adoption

Parent-child relationship issues

     

     I use primarily Imago Relationship Tools* to help couples improve communication, manage conflict, and navigate life transitions. I am experienced in working with fertility issues, complicated pregnancies, and pregnancy loss.

     

     My work incorporates a variety of play therapy and expressive therapies which I use in work with children, adolescents and adults.

Prior to training as a clinician, I worked for more than 25 years as an educator and consultant to congregations, nonprofits, secular and religious organizations in areas including clergy boundaries and ethics, cultural competency and diversity awareness, and preventing and responding to child abuse and domestic violence.  In addition to my clinical work, I offer consultation to clergy in a variety of areas that support congregational health.
