Start by asking your doctor(s) or other healthcare professionals "who would you send your own family to see?" Then ask close friends for suggestions - and look online to learn more. When you do call a potential counselor, ask what issues they do not work well with - a real specialist doesn't specialize in everything - if they lack that humility and honesty, call someone else. You deserve better.

Eclectic and pragmatic mix of several approaches with overall drive to meet my clients where they are at and help them move forward towards their own goals. Many clinicians over depend on one or two treatment types, but every client is unique and a cookie-cutter approach rarely ever serves the client's best interest. You and I set a path to meet your goals - one that you can feel confident about.
