Life is about relationships, with self, family, friends, co-workers and God. When we experience difficulties in one or more of these relationships it is helpful to seek counsel. I enjoy counseling with individuals or families to facilitate healthy relationships. I use Solution Focused/Strength Based and Cognitive Behavioral and draw from other theories to create the best course of counseling for each client.
I work with families who are experiencing or have experienced divorce by helping them to stabilize emotions, and learn tools to move forward in life. A special focus in this area is advocating for the children and helping them to find their voice. I use Play Therapy and Sand Tray Therapy with children.
I enjoy doing premarital or marital counseling with couples. I often use Prepare/Enrich assessments as a starting point for the counseling. My goal is to increase communication between the couple to enhance their relationship.
