"Having a professionally trained therapist to talk with in order to sort out problems is an important step in making positive life-changes. My approach to counseling can help to develop positive healthy relationships in your life. Using a strengths-based approach I will help you answer four basic questions: "Who Am I?" - "What do I want?" - "How do I get it?" and "How will I know when I have it in my life?" I am here to help. If you or someone you love needs help in dealing with life's problems then I encourage you to contact me."

"Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you no longer recognize this version of yourself? Maybe you've tried "fixing" problems with limited success. Lived experiences shape who you are. They can also be strengths and lessons to guide you toward a peaceful, fulfilling life. Therapy is about understanding who you are right now, finding balanced, and growing toward feeling more whole/complete, individually and with others. Stress, feelings of failure, and/or hopelessness don't have to define you. I will help you create space in your life to strengthen what's already there, and build the rest healthfully."

"My practice is founded on the belief that despite our life challenges, there is a silver lining behind each dark cloud that is waiting to be found. Whether the rainbow represents a diverse group of people coming together, the promise of a better life, or a pot of shining gold waiting at the end, one thing is true: rainbows are often a symbol of hope, and that is exactly what I hold for each person with whom I work: HOPE."

"Confusing emotions, a general discontentment with life, or a life-changing event can motivate a person to seek counseilng. Counseling helps us better understand ourselves--our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. A better self-understanding helps us to decrease our participation in undesired or unhealthy behaviors, improves our self-image, and positions us to engage healthier, more satisfying relationships. Psychotherapy helps us to process negative experiences and gain insight into unheathy emotions associated with these experiences. Over time, we can learn healthier ways to engage life and relationships."

"The word shalom -- peace -- shares the same root as the word for wholeness. As we find wholeness, we find peace. Early life experiences, abuse, trauma, and loss prevent many from experiencing a sense of wholeness. The masks that we may wear to protect ourselves in a world filled with "others" often separate us from our own selves as well. Life transitions, whether due to crisis or to natural growth, can make wholeness seem like an impossible dream -- but it is not."
