As a resource for processing, I can offer you insight, suggestions, and encouragement towards achieving your goals. I believe that if you understand the feelings behind your beliefs you will achieve clarity to make different choices. Together we will develop strategies to faciltate change.

Therapy is a wonderful tool that can help you achieve stability and wellness. Don't let fear, worry, depression or shame keep holding you back from the life you want.

The choice of a counselor is an important one. The relationship between a therapist and a client is the foundation for successful therapy. I see therapy as a journey of self discovery.

My goal for all clients is to help you be the person you want to be - living the life that you choose.

You're stuck- unable to make a decision or communicate what you want and need. Not that it matters; they don't listen anyway. They're controlling & unreasonable. "Should I stay or go?" Wondering if it's possible to save this relationship or what life would be like alone. You're hurt, lost, and feeling unloved. Tired of trying to figure this out on your own.
