"Often we think we should be able to fix everything by ourselves. But recognizing we need help is a sign of wisdom, not weakness. Working with a counselor is not about giving up, but having the courage to keep going. When someone seeks counseling, it usually means they are seeking a change - there is something they want to be different, or better, in their life. This recognition is a significant first step - speaking to the hope, vision, and health of the person seeking help. As a therapist I am trained to assist others on their journey to growth and healing."

"When you are struggling, you need effective strategies that work now, not a therapist who just "listens" to you, your spouse, or your kids/teens complain about parents, friends, work, grades, stress, etc., without progress. With adults, I work with you to learn strategies to overcome unhelpful, negative patterns, so you can gain positive coping skills that get results. When kids and teenagers work with me, they need to have a space to talk, discuss challenges, and gain skills and tools. I also help you, as parents, learn skills to effectively communicate with your kids and teens to help them listen, learn, and change behaviors. "
