Hello! I'm a mental health clinician with more than 30 years of experience working with individuals and couples. I often describe my counseling style as "radically kind" (probably a fancy way of saying "direct and to the point in a kind way") I offer my clients an effective mix of compassion and humor in our work together. I can help you take a step back and get a realistic view the areas of your life where you're struggling. We'll figure out what needs to change and develop a plan together to make those changes happen. Then we'll get to work.
I work with adult and young adult clients, male and female, from all walks of life. If there is anything I specialize in, it's working with couples and men. And, if I'm not the right fit for you, I work with a team of clinicians who have a wide array of expertise. There are very few problems one of our team members can't help with.
You've already done the toughest part - making the decision to get professional help and beginning the process of looking for just the right person. Reach out today and let's get to work.
