I feel clients grow through challenges best in a non-judgmental, nurturing atmosphere. This quote is so true: "To the world you may be one person, but to one person, you may be the world." You matter. Your feelings matter. If you feel you need someone to talk to, don't hesitate to call me...
Everyone has challenges in life. It is how we deal with those challenges that is so important. Counseling is an avenue that can promote change through learning new ways to cope with difficulties while providing someone who is able to listen with a non-judgmental, caring & concerned attitude.
No matter what your problem is, do not feel that you are alone. You can rest assured that you will not have to feel shame or remorse sharing your story with me. So, feel free to contact me. I would be happy to hear from you.

I assist clients in identifying areas in which they have problems, but also areas in which they excel. I encourage clients to talk about what they are having difficulty with, and I also provide coping tools to assist with various conditions, such as depression. I try to tailor sessions to the client, and not use a one for all type of approach. I ask clients to share at their pace, not mine.

I generally use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and or Person Centered Therapy. I do; however, blend other therapies into session, depending on a client's needs or wants. I try to meet each client where they are, as I see the client as the master of their own journey, and I am just one facilitator on that journey.
