individual counseling

What a relief it can be to express yourself freely in a warm, supportive environment & be understood!

Helping people reduce stress related to work, school or home life, heal the pain of depression & anxiety, gain insight, experience self acceptance, build relationship & communication skills, & develop real optimism, confidence & resilience has been my privilege and passion for over 20 years.

counseling for couples or families

Life transitions, losses, parenting challenges, and the competing demands of modern life can overtax the best marriages & families. Communication difficulties make these challenges even tougher. Infidelity can throw a relationship into crisis.

Helping couples regroup, reconnect, restore trust, build new skills & create a fresh vision for themselves is a rewarding specialty in which I've received extensive training & continue to hone my skills.

discernment counseling

Here’s a chance to slow down, take a breath, and look at your options for your marriage, when one person is “leaning out” of the relationship—and not sure that regular marriage counseling would help--and the other is “leaning in”—that is, interested in rebuilding the marriage. 

The goal isn't to solve your marital problems while in Discernment Counseling's up-to-5 sessions, but to see if they are solvable. You can gain clarity and confidence about a direction, based on a deeper understanding of your relationship and its possibilities for the future. You will each be treated with compassion and respect.
