Each of us has barriers—those things that get in the way of us becoming who we want to become or doing what we want to do. Sometimes our barriers are easy to overcome. Other times, they’re not. When barriers seem overwhelming, counseling can help. Participating in counseling can be an excellent opportunity for personal growth. A counselor can help you resolve issues that may be adversely impacting the quality of your life. Counseling can help you recognize and change problematic thought patterns and behaviors, improve your relationships, and process difficult experiences in a safe and supportive environment.

ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS. Every individual is unique with their own set of circumstances that may keep them from reaching their full potential.

Addressing the root cause of problems requires a collaborative relationship. You know the details of your life and my role as a therapist is to guide you with expertise and a new perspective through a combination of evidence-based therapeutic approaches.
