• Counseling with couples in various seasons of life, working attentively to help them repair what has been broken, heal from betrayal, restore trust, renew friendship, increase intimacy, and become allies in life.

• Counseling with women, helping them cultivate emotional, relational, and spiritual balance and health. Drawing not only from my professional expertise, but also from 'just living life', I strive to understand women and all that accompanies them:  friendships, singleness, partners, kids, busyness and clutter, order and control, loss and heartache, and spiritual journey.  Through participating in ongoing training, and learning every day from those I counsel, I stay equipped to address the unique challenges of depression, anxiety, ADD, disordered eating, grief, past/current trauma, relationships, and spiritual formation.
