"Choosing a therapist is an important decision. Thank you for your consideration and I hope that we have an opportunity to work together. I believe that all of us have unique strengths and potential. Psychotherapy offers clients the opportunity to utilize these strengths to overcome a variety of challenges. These challenges may include anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, addiction, career stress, parenting, and family relationships.

"Our therapists are experienced in a broad range of mental health issues and use a variety of therapeutic approaches to compliment the unique needs of each individual. We believe that health comes from treating the whole person. Therefore, we seek to integrate emotional, physical, and spiritual dimensions into the healing process. Although our clinicians have been trained in various methods of treatment, we tailor treatment to help meet your specific needs and not to a specific theoretical approach. Our therapists will help guide you through the exploration of values, beliefs, thoughts, and feelings to promote increased awareness of self and greater sense of well-being."

"When every therapist's profile sounds almost exactly alike, how can you figure out who's right for you? I believe one way I differ from most therapists is the degree to which I'm paying attention to what's really going on inside you, below the surface. Below our thoughts are often strong emotions that don't simply change because we want them to. This is the work of therapy. Growth and change happen when we face and deeply listen to what our insides are trying to tell us, not deny or dismiss them and hope they go away. "

"I have 30+ years of experience working with individuals in psychotherapy. I provide a safe and collaborative environment in which we can develop a relationship that promotes healing of the self. Therapy is art as well as science, and I combine compassion and intuition with a solid theoretical base to provide treatment that encourages personal development. I believe our early experiences influence the way that we process our later experiences, and therapy can change how we understand our lives so that our responses can become more adaptive and healthy to live happier, more fulfilling lives."

"I have over 20 years experience in providing individual, group and family therapy to children, adolescents and adults.

Would you like your family to function better? If so, counseling can help. Whether you are an adult or a child, life can be challenging.
