Master's level therapist with over 27 years of clinical experience, highly skilled at creating a therapeutic relationship conducive to change with both adults and adolescents. State, national, and international certifications. Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, and Licensed Independent Substance Abuse Counselor. Trained in both traditional and invitational interventions.

The therapist believes that symptoms are often developed as coping tools and solutions to events and emotions that clients lack skills in dealing with. Symptoms (physical, emotional, mental, and behavioral) are also often metaphors for problems being experienced on another level within the individual, couple, or the family system. Eventually these symptoms become the problem rather than the solution and clients often seek therapy for symptoms relief. At Veritas Counseling Center, in addition to teaching new coping skills that help to reduce and heal symptoms, whenever appropriate clients are also helped to resolve any underlying issues that resulted in symptom development. The therapist believes that given the right tools, clients have the ability to heal themselves and the therapist's job is to help them utilize the strengths they already have and teach them the skills they need. Therapy, while painful at times, should be an overall safe and rewarding experience for the clients.
