Hi there :) It is not by accident that you have come across my profile. You have given so much to the point of exhaustion. You may not know who you are anymore. Or maybe you have been holding on to resentful feelings? I can help.

Sometimes life’s problems and dilemmas need to be addressed in counseling or they could possibly interfere with the opportunity for you to experience a happier, purposeful, balanced, and fulfilling life. I invite you to join me in a therapeutic relationship that facilitates understanding your thoughts and feelings.

With genuine warmth, compassion, and understanding we can look at skills and tools that will help you feel less anxious or depressed.

Are you tired of feeling guilty and responsible for other adult's feeling and problems? Do you use alcohol or drugs to numb emotional pain?

If you are tired of feeling sick and tired or you are feeling physical pain, I can help with all of the above. It is particularly important to me to assist in setting goals and giving practical tools for them to achieve their goals.
