If you want to live more "on purpose", we will work together to facilitate just that. Few people can avoid struggles in life and sometimes these struggles are overwhelming, especially when faced alone. In therapy, solutions to your problems become obvious and you will be supported professionally to make them happen. Your relationships will improve and successful coping skills will be taught. How you feel is important and what you do in your personal life with regard to those feelings even more so.
I am directive & straight forward. I have lived long enough to be that "wounded healer" in many aspects and I'd like to put those hard earned life lessons and years of experience to work for you; wherever it is that you find yourself currently. My personal life of marriage and family (children/grandchildren) affords me a broad practical perspective.
For over 20 years, it has been my privilege to share in the lives and families of my clients, many of whom have continued to touch base over that long time period. If you want a counselor who is genuinely interested in helping you manage the difficult times, give me a call.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
