I often compare counseling to chemotherapy. I went through chemotherapy because I believed it offered hope for curing my cancer. In a similar vein, counseling offers you the hope of a new way of doing life. Are your relationships all you want them to be? Are you able to put words to your feelings? Or do they just seem like a dark mess? Are you feeling powerless and out of control in your world? Cor Counseling is a safe place to explore your heart and to learn new ways of living.

In the most basic terms, my professional interests are in the areas of health, identity, and personal growth. My approach is integrative and tailored to the client's needs. Therapeutic sessions attend to clients' current distress and foster awareness on how certain behaviors that were once adaptive may no longer be of benefit. The intention is to decrease distress, foster awareness, and encourage personal growth towards more mindful, healthful living.

Are you feeling overstimulated, distracted, stuck in your head, with thoughts that seem to never seem to get anywhere? Have you lost interest in things you used to enjoy, and even when you push yourself to do them, you don't feel the same joy that you used to? Or are you having difficulty in relationships, feeling burnt out, excessively drinking or using substances, or having trouble feeling good about yourself despite all of your hard work and accomplishments? We all need and deserve a compassionate person that we can trust and talk to openly about the difficult emotions, thoughts, relationships, and situations we are experiencing.

Since life is already difficult enough as it is for young adults – from discovering your life’s purpose, navigating through peer pressure and romantic relationships, to transitioning into financial independence – there's no sense in spending any more of it anxious, confused or depressed. Sometimes a helping hand is needed to sort through the clutter of life – and that’s where therapy comes in. Contrary to popular belief, it's not a one-sided conversation where someone simply tells you how to solve all your problems, but rather a relationship that’s built on trust, respect, and a collaborative effort in achieving your goals.

People come to counseling because they want something to be different in their lives. Experience has taught me that I must create a safe and supportive setting. And I must be skillful and respectful in order for positive and lasting change to occur. In over thirty years of practice I have seen amazing growth and transformation in the clients with whom I have worked.

As a man and a father, you never expected to need to ask for help. Yet, life has become particularly tough. It’s hard to talk about, but the worrying and emotional ups and downs have made it hard to find enjoyment in life. Your spouse has pointed out that you are moody and seem different. You’ve had enough of this, though, and are ready for a change. Not just for your family, but for yourself, too. You might not know where to start, but you won't let that hold you back. While getting to work can be hard, you are committed to your family, and are ready to get started.
