I can be of help to you if you have any of the following issues: intrapersonal; relationships; communication; establishing and maintaining boundaries; emotional support; self-esteem; management of anger; living within your financial means; addictions; grief and loss; chronic pain; peace of mind. In 1976, I began my career in counseling as a school counselor and have a good track record with individuals of all ages. As a "seasoned" counselor (read "older"), I have helped individuals, couples, and families successfully navigate the issues that contribute to their pain and distress. You and I will work together as a team.
I believe that the best way of getting your needs and wants met is to identify those needs and wants and find out how best you can get them met. Oftentimes, what we think is a "need" is actually not in the true sense. With enhanced clarity via our sessions, we can find ways for you to feel better about your life and to live the life you were meant to live.
I work with individuals by encouraging them to become more aware of themselves; explore patterns that have contributed to their success and distress; and identify ways to cope and manage a wide range of difficulties. It is important that my clients be willing to work with me so that the changes they experience will be life-enhancing.
