"In A Road Less Travelled Scott Peck says our view of reality and the world around is like a roadmap. Our roadmaps are formed early in life.They tell us what to expect in the future regarding love, success, belonging, safety, our worth and value, etc. We go on living life based on these predictions. Roadmaps must be continually revised or life will become discouraging and feel more and more limited."

"Life is full of stressors. When you need extra support, an outside perspective, or some expert guidance, talking to a skilled therapist can help effect truly positive change. It is my belief that a big part of the therapeutic process is having a trusting relationship between the client and therapist. I strive to partner with my clients on their journey to becoming their best selves. Working with people and helping them overcome obstacles and stressors in their lives is not just my occupation, it is for me, a calling. I have been working with adults, kids and families for over 13 years now"

"Working with adults, I have always viewed my traditional therapeutic training as my foundational core. It has been an invaluable guide, providing a useful framework and powerful methods to facilitate the healing process of my clients. While I rely on my traditional foundation, I have taken to heart many a clients desire to lessen their pain and have change come about more quickly. With this in mind I have sought out legitimate methods that produce deep, long lasting change and provide relief at a faster pace then traditional therapies alone."

I also offer consult services to professionals eager to learn more about how adoption effects their clients and families."

"I have been a therapist over 10 years. I bring a diverse background to my current work and worldview. I have owned/operated small companies and I have worked in leadership roles in a Fortune 100 company. In all my experiences, there are a few consistent and underlying themes. I believe change is possible. Sometimes change is easy, often it is hard. Nothing can substitute for the power of forward momentum-starting and moving. It takes courage to recognize and accept reality. Personal growth, while difficult, is worth it."

"The world we live in is seems to grow more complicated as time goes on. Good and well meaning people often find it difficult to see the forest from the trees and keep the bigger picture in view. As a result, we get caught up in the details and miss the boat in regards to what or who is really important. When this occurs, people and relationships suffer, hearts often become broken, and life seems to lose it's joy."

"If you could create positive change in your life through clinical counseling, would you be willing to take on this endeavor? Maybe you have been struggling with addiction, a painful relationship, anxiety or wish for greater overall health and well-being. If you are just beginning the journey or are returning to therapy, know there is support to navigate these roads."

"My professional beliefs are based in theory that believes all people want to feel significant, connected and capable and therefore all behavior has a purpose. Patterns and themes develop in people's lives often discouraging them and at times can inhibit growth and or decrease abilities to function effectively. Many times our patterns and themes can be traced back several generations. I spend the first several sessions getting to know you, your family history and exploring current significant relationships. From these sessions, we will jointly agree to the goals of treatment."

"For thirty years I have worked with men and women of all ages, both individually and in group. I also enjoy working with couples.

Through self examination and caring guidance it is possible to find your own answers."

"I believe that life is about a journey. The more skills we develop the greater our ability to navigate through life's challenges. "If we do not change our direction we are likely to end up where we are headed." I strongly believe that effective therapy is a two way street. It takes a cooperative effort by both the person receiving therapy and the therapist. And it takes a commitment to make sometimes difficult changes in behavior or thinking patterns. The kind of therapy I practice centers on the principles of personal responsibility, honesty and self-respect."
