I believe that ALL people are the experts of their own lives and sometimes need a little help making decisions, feeling heard, or just need to get things off their chest. I offer individual, family, pre-marital, and group counseling, and coaching services to people of all ages.
Some of the topics I can address include: mental health needs, sadness, anger, nervousness, motivation, grief and loss, wellness, self-improvement, communication skills, family and marriage issues.
I hope to hear from you soon and would love to see how we can work together.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to use a variety of approaches to help change your feelings, thoughts, and/or behaviors for the better.
