"~I AM CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS~ I am in the process of relocating at this time. My philosophy is that life is a journey and we can be thrown unexpected difficulties and challenges during the ride. Many times we just need a little help during tough times to successfully move forward. I work with individuals, couples, and children. I provide an empathetic non-judgmental environment for clients to feel safe and comfortable while working towards their goals. I have worked with clients on many different complicated issues and relational difficulties."

"ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! I work with couples, individuals, and families.

"I believe in the uniqueness of every individual - that we are each a spoecial combination of personality, beliefs, abilities and life experiences. That is why I take an eclectic approach to my counseling, thereby tailoring our work together to your personality, needs and goals. In this way I can help you grow in self awareness and understanding in order to develop your own strengths and resources to deal successfully with life's problems."

"*** MY PRACTICE IS CURRENTLY FULL AND I AM UNABLE TO ACCEPT ANY NEW CLIENTS*** Choosing to talk with someone, who is virtually a complete stranger, about your most intimate and private life, is an extremely difficult and courageous decision. I am honored that you are considering coming to me with your concerns at this time. My approach to relationships such as the one we are about to embark upon is of a gentle, kind, and respectful nature."

"Feeling "low on fuel," frustrated, or overwhelm are natural signs that are telling you "it's time for change." Please contact me to assist you in redefining your life's goals or to explore new horizons and/or relationships to live a more vibrant & purposeful lifestyle. In doing so, symptoms of depression and/or anxiety will be alleviated. Psychotherapy will include brainstorming and resolving present challenges and/or discovering the root of where the emotional, mental, or physical pain began.

"I am an experienced therapist and am ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS.

I am dedicated and committed to making a change that aims to empower and strengthen, individuals, families, and couples. I specialize in treating relationship communication problems, depression and anxiety, adjustment to divorce and separation, parenting concerns and addiction. As an experienced counselor, I have had an opportunity to work with those who have struggled with a variety of problems and concerns.

"** Affordable therapy ** "We change, whether we like it or not" (Ralph Waldo Emerson). If that is true, why not change for the better? Talking about our problems gives us an awareness of ourselves and how we fit into the world. It helps us understand others and gain healthier perspectives. It can give us needed courage to accept personal responsibility for the change we want. If you have made the effort to look up a counselor, you have already taken an important step. "

" Healing relationships begins with healing inside of oneself. Painful childhood memories and traumatic events affect how a person feels in every aspect of their life, especially in personal relationships. Understanding how early painful events have impacted current behaviors and then healing these memories, is essential for a happier life. Recent research on the brain now allows us to understand how trauma is stored in the brain and how it can be healed."

"Therapeutically, I use an integrative approach geared towards understanding self, specifically what drives one's thoughts and behaviors. I have been trained as a Clinical Psychologist, and I help identify automatic thoughts that lead to specific ideas and feelings. Another useful approach stems from understanding how our thoughts and behaviors are fueled by former messages that have been consistently reinforced. At the end of the day, my practice is shaped by uncovering a deeper understanding of self, discovering how our environment has constructed us, and determining what road we can choose in order to reconnect with self, others, and life."

"Let's be honest - the idea of meeting with a stranger to talk about your most personal concerns sounds awkward. That is totally understandable. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, I will strive to make you feel comfortable and allow you to explore what's going on in your life in a safe and genuine environment. We will discuss the challenges you are facing and uncover your unique gifts and strengths to help us set realistic counseling goals on your own personal journey to healing."

"Romantic relationships are one of the hardest things that you will ever do in your life. Communication problems, arguing, bickering can lead you to have the same type of fight day after day. You both could be using attacking or harsh words in these moments of disconnection. This leads you to more hurt and pain. Learning how to work through any problem that exists in your relationship is hardworking but possible. Issues that you might have could be letting your partner down or not meeting their expectations, money issues, parenting disagreements, lack of sex, or even working through an affair. "

"How uncomfortable are you in your depression? Anxiety? Relationship? Memories of trauma and abuse? We often need to be in enough discomfort before motivation to change takes place. If you find yourself in the same situation no matter how often you swear "this time will be different," I can help. Together, we will discover those parts of yourself which keep you in these situations. I work with couples and individuals to help resolve depression, anxiety, trauma, and patterns that perpetuate unfulfilling and unhealthy relationships. We will work together to help you achieve healthier relationships with yourself and others in your life."

"**Accepting New Clients/Weekend Appointments Are Available.** I believe in being your own craftsman in life and therapy can help you get to that point. It isn't always easy to take yourself on and shed the way you have coped. However, there comes a time in everyone's life when a decision needs to be made on what quality of life you want to live. If you do not possess the skills to get past your mental road blocks, you become trapped and are unable to move forward in the direction you desire most for yourself."

"*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* Welcome!

I provide my clients with a comfortable and safe environment to examine unhealthy patterns and explore strategies that will increase personal happiness and decrease sadness and anxiety. I work alongside my clients in setting and reaching goals."
