I am highly skilled at helping clients with depression, anxiety, relationships, chronic illness, life transitions, and work/life balance.

I am deeply dedicated to aiding people in their journeys of healing and growth. Through our work together, we will gain insight and clarity into your thoughts, emotions, and interpersonal relationships.

I understand that seeking therapy may be a very difficult process, however the gains can often times be limitless. If you are feeling stuck and interested in making some changes in your life or just need some support right now, this may be a good time to give therapy a try. It is very important to feel safe and connected to your therapist and I encourage you to shop around for the "best-fit". I welcome you to contact me in order to determine whether or not we would be a good match.

Good therapist "fit" is key. I am best suited to those who need an authentic and compassionate therapist who understands interpersonal relationships. Whether your child is exhibiting challenging behavior or whether you are struggling to feel a sense of joy and freedom in life, I have been helping people heal and achieve the relationships they desire with themselves, their partners, and/or their children for 20 years. I see the root of all challenges as relational--whether it is how we relate to ourselves, others, to our distractions of choice, or to the stories we tell ourselves.

Bringing a perspective of empathy and compassion, I seek to impact my community through life-long learning that will empower me to reach and teach some members of society who are disenfranchised, socio-economically distraught and spiritually wandering, in hopes of guiding them to a place of peace through sound, empirical research as well as time honored traditions of faith. - William C. Luff

My focus is on overall wellness, including physical and mental health, nutritional and lifestyle implications for mental clarity, and healthy and beneficial relationships. I work primarily in the areas of self concept, stress management, and relationship concerns, and also with couples in the areas of pre-marital and marital counseling. Additionally, I work with children through play therapy. My focus is on the whole person versus just the problem, and I provide constructive guidance and unconditional support to help you make your way through life's difficulties.

I work with couples and adults. People I have had the pleasure to work with are often in a transitional period of their life and feel stuck working through it on their own. You may fit criteria for the following issues: depression, anxiety, bipolar, chronic illness, sexual dysfunctions (including painful sex, low desire, erectile disorder, achieving orgasm too quickly, or not at all, STI diagnoses, sexual identity and/or orientation exploration, difficulty communicating with partners, partners who have mental health disorders, self-esteem, and body image challenges. I am a good fit for folks who are open to doing exercises at home.

I am trained in object relations theory, but my experience as a high school counselor, family therapist and lawyer informs my flexible and practical approach. While offering a deep therapy experience that leads to enduring change and growth, I am mindful that patients need strategies to manage immediate concerns and feel relief during the change process. I approach patients with a belief that their early experiences and attachments have shaped the way they see themselves, how they approach relationships and what they expect from life. I seek to help patients develop new ways of relating that lead to healthier connections to others and increased autonomy.

Are you looking to inspire hope and change in your life? A therapist who will listen to your needs and help you move from where you are to where you want to be? If so, I can guide you through the process of reorganizing your thinking and helping you gain the emotional and behavioral skills needed to make the lifestyle changes you are seeking. It is comforting to have a supportive, qualified clinician with you on your journey of facing challenges that may feel too difficult to face by yourself.

The therapeutic process is more than empathic listening and supportive talk. It is a creative vehicle of self-realization, empowerment and change.

Does anxiety feel like it is hard to manage? Whether it's anxiety about your relationship, your sex life, your job, your social life, or your life in general, the symptoms are all too regular and familiar: racing heart, stomach churning, and feeling like you can't breathe just to name a few. If only you could just wish the anxiety away with logic. Your friends or partner tell you to just relax and stop overthinking, but you can't! Your mind won't listen. No matter how hard you try, you just can't get your mind to stop.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS in September 2020. People often engage in patterns of feeling, thought and action that reliably lead to suffering. These patterns arise in response to difficult and even traumatic experiences. They made good sense at some point, but now get in the way, causing anxiety, depression, shame and frustration. I work with people to bring increased awareness to the human potential caught up in old patterns, and via that awareness, to an enhanced sense of choice and self confidence and ease. My work draws on your wisdom, as well as my own.

It is my primary focus to help empower my clients to make meaningful changes in their lives through goal-directed interventions and strategic planning.

I have been trained to treat various mental health and addictions issues. I use evidence-based, goal oriented and measurable techniques to assist in the therapeutic process. This journey I promise to take with you will achieve positive outcomes and results.

Therapy is about personal understanding, change, growth, and finding happiness within yourself.
