Individuals
I work with individuals on a broad range of issues. With more than thirty-five years of experience as a counselor, I've helped clients with issues regarding their family of origin/upbringing, grief and loss, spiritual concerns, communication skills . . . and many other issues. If you're unsure, please call or email me and ask if I might be the right fit for the concerns you're hoping to address.

Couples
I work intensively with couples regarding:
  • questioning whether or not to continue the relationship
  • grappling with changes (affairs, illness, secrets, deaths, children, parenting, finances, etc.)
  • increasing communication skills
  • exploring intimacy issues (“we’re best friends and get along great, but we haven’t been intimate for a long time”) - or different levels of interest/desire for intimacy
  • wanting to re-vitalize the relationship, breaking out of ingrained patterns or changing a long-term ‘status quo’ that has started to feel too limiting


Individuals with relationship concerns
  • exploring whether or not to stay in a relationship
  • wanting to change how you operate in a relationship and/or developing new relational skills
  • clarifying what you want from a relationship.


“Life Satisfaction”
  • you’re doing ‘ok’ in life, but it feels like something’s missing - life feels superficial and you’d like to feel more engaged or fulfilled.


Military Service Members, Veterans and Spouses
  • With several years of experience as a civilian counselor on military bases, I understand the unique culture and demands of being in the military or being a military spouse – active duty, prior service, retired, National Guard or Reserves. I have extensive experience working with veterans and spouses with the challenging adjustments deployments/PTSD/separating from service and military life can require.
