I am a LCSW who works with adolescents and adults, both men and women. I enjoy working with individuals who are in some type of transition in their life-you may be a high school student trying to decide what you want to do following your graduation, you may be a young adult getting married, having a child, starting your career. You could be a parent who finds themselves alone as your children have all left home and you don't know how you will manage each day. You could be retiring, possibly having to retire too soon due to downsizing or medical issues.

For over 24 years, I have worked with clients to be the best they can be and look forward to working with you, to do the same. Together, we can work through whatever you are dealing with...just give yourself, us and the counseling process a fair chance. Primarily, I use a cognitive/behavioral approach.

As an Individual Psychology and Humanistic professional counselor, I believe you, the client, have the ability to choose how best to resolve your problems and make decisions with my assistance as facilitator. You are responsible for your behaviors, thoughts, and feelings and are the world's leading expert on yourself. I encourage you to develop greater self-awareness and mental health through life experiences, building increased confidence, self-esteem, independence, and capacity to effectively navigate the challenges of life. I believe your sense of self-awareness and ability to make healthy choices are key to developing self-direction and independence.

The only thing constant is change - without change there is no growth. Without growth our lives become stagnant and we do not realize our full potential or adapt to necessary changes or losses. Changes over the last few years have been very difficult. Although we all experience changes, we do not all adapt in the same way. Some see change as an opportunity for adventure. Some see change as a frightening challenge. And finally, others are totally incapacitated and freeze when presented with choices or opportunities to change or grow.
