I have worked diligently in the mental health and social service fields for over 35 years. Although I initially began working primarily with children, I have found much success in including the ever changing needs of adults and families. I am a 'teammate' in helping to build and rebuild solid foundations in the lives of those struggling with mental health and addiction concerns. My enthusiastic educating and teaching approaches allows me to adapt to the needs of various clients, and to assist them in learning to better manage and deal with life's stresses. Natural curiosity, play, and creativity, along with innovative skill building are my ways of working with children, teens and young adults. Parenting enhancement brings help to the whole family and couples. Cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing and family system approaches are typically used. A Christian based approach can be taken. I believe therapy is successful when in conjunction with referral and linkage to community resources. I provide this, along with home, school and community based therapy (case by case), flexibility for pre/post office hours, and partnering with other specialty services. I also provide consultation for advanced/pre-need planning.
