If you are looking to make changes, or to improve certain areas of your life (relationships, self esteem, family), counseling is a great way to get started. I have worked with a variety of people with varying concerns, but feel that I am particularly experienced in working with those who are struggling with depression, anxiety, or trauma, are attempting to improve interpersonal relationships, or identify solutions. I enjoy working with teens, college students, women, and families. I highly value the counseling relationship and feel it is a place of respect, acceptance, and compassion.

I agree that finding a therapist that fits the individual's exact need is often a challenge. I offer a supportive but pragmatic approach to therapy that relies primarily on cognitive principles. I rely on nearly 30 years experience in the mental health field and bring a breadth of knowledge spanning a wide array of mental and emotional difficulties.

Are you feeling a little “off” lately? Down, anxious or unsure what comes next in life—especially after the last year or so?

Or it could be you just don’t feel like yourself and you’re not sure why.
