Adolescent Issues
ADD/HD, Anxiety, Behavior Issues, Self-Esteem, Adjustment Challenges, Oppositional Defiant Disorders: I have extensive experience working with adolescents. For, sixteen years I worked as a teacher of at risk students and later worked for nine years as a middle school guidance counselor. As a professional counselor I enjoy using Art expression and Play Therapy as I find it can help adolescents gain insight into themselves, stimulate conversation, and bring about positive change.

Women, Violence, and Trauma
Violence against women is far too common and can have long term devastating effects on the recipients of that violence. Working through the pain is not easy and can be quite painful, but with help and with God, there is hope for healing. It is possible to move from victim to victor after experiencing a traumatic event. 

Women, Children and Grief
Grief hurts! I regularly facilitate bereavement groups for women who have lost loved ones, and one thing is clear. No one person's pain is just like another person's pain. Grief is complex. Grief is personal. That loss needs to be talked about.
