"Counseling can be an adventure in self-discovery, a place to clarify your thoughts and get a fresh perspective about your life. I will help you develop insight into yourself, your life, your relationships and, also, if desired, help you identify specific changes that will bring you a higher quality of life. The better you know yourself, the easier it is to know what you want in life. Finding your own voice and having the confidence to express it is one of the foundational pieces in developing a rich experience in life, and an essential tool in relating to others."

Seeking the removal of pain is clearly an appropriate goal of the therapy process. The clients I work with discover that the path to feeling better is not the removal of painful emotions, but rather, development of skills that make it possible to live with them and move forward in a meaningful, values guided way. Finding purpose and fulfillment can be achieved if you are willing to learn how to give up the struggle, and live at peace with thoughts and feelings."
