There is no need to suffer in silence. Over the years I have heard people say, "I regret that I waited so long to come to counseling." When people struggle with life's challenges alone, they usually have little success. This solitary method often results in a deep sense of hopelessness and unhappiness. At the Samaritan Counseling Center, it has been my privilege to empower men, women and adolescents to make their lives more fulfilling. During counseling sessions, you will experience a safe environment to tell your story-and then together, we will begin the journey to hope and healing.

I feel therapy is beneficial to most individuals and being a therapist as a guide to a improved level of functioning is very important. I feel building strong relationships with clients is vital to helping individuals move forward and concentrate on this within my practice. I I like working with clients that want to adapt and adjust to better handle their overall functioning. Reaching out for support can be very difficult, but working together to move forward can be very beneficial for you, your family, work/other relationships, and your overall level of mental/emotional wellbeing.

"Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habit. Keep your habits positive because your habit becomes your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny." - Mahatma Gandhi Our thoughts and feelings are not determined by a situation, but by our perception and interpretation of the situation. By changing our thoughts, perceptions, and behaviors we can learn to respond in a positive way, maximizing our potential for a rich, full, and meaningful life.

I am currently accepting new clients. As an experienced psychotherapist I work with a diverse adult population providing individual therapy and group therapy. I have been trained in a number of psychotherapeutic modalities and, over the past few years, have largely focused my work with clients on the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model of therapy. This is an easily applicable model to all therapeutic relationships that effectively addresses the wide range of emotional, behavioral challenges, and life experiences that people face.

Are you a parent who wants to help your child or teen to feel better? Does your child have problems with depression, worry, anger, social difficulties or disrespect? You want the best for your child, but parenting is hard.

The first visit will focus on identifying treatment goals and a therapeutic plan. I will work with you and your child or teen to build skills necessary to live life well.

It can be difficult to take the initial step to contact a therapist. I want you to feel comfortable and supported.
