Congratulations! You have taken the first step toward making positive changes for your life. By searching for help, you are opening the door to your possibilities and potential. I help my clients to unlock the emotional or psychological pain that may be impeding their progress in life. Your issues can range from mild anxiety to complex trauma or simply needing help with a difficult decision. This is a goal driven practice, where we will try to establish our goals for therapy very early in the process.
Counseling is a calling for me. It is not a career, but a calling. My goals include helping clients to sort out their feelings and thoughts so that they can make change decisions about their lives. I specialize in trauma and grief counseling, but also see many people for issues of anxiety, depression, relationships, and parenting.
Counseling can be a scary decision for some. I can understand that and can assure you that all clients set their own pace in counseling with me. You are the expert in your own life, and I am here to help you to make sense of areas that are affecting your ability to move forward in your life. I consider it an honor to work with every client.

I work with clients who may struggle with the emotional fallout from trauma related incidents in their lives. During our first sessions, we will examine issues that are causing you psychological pain and collaborate to form a plan to help you get your life back on track. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptons over the first two months of therapy.

I tend toward a humanistic philosophy when counseling. That means that I am most interested in counseling that enhances your ability to make decisions for your life. I do utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma Focused interventions. In our first session, we will explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you. You are always in charge.
