As a practicing psychotherapist since 1992, I have the honor of assisting clients with the emotional issues that create obstacles and/or roadblocks in all areas of their lives. My compassionate and caring approach is solution-focused and action-oriented, and I believe all clients have the capacity for change within themselves. Clients willing to engage in the emotion and thought based therapeutic process of correcting their actions toward more positive behavior changes achieve the desired outcome of eliminating those life obstacles and roadblocks, resulting in the ultimate therapy goal - better and greater happiness!
Addiction based behavior - substance (drugs, alcohol, etc.) and process (food, eating disorders, sex, work, toxic relationships, codependency, porn, social media, internet, etc.). Marital and couples issues, work stress, family dynamics, parent/child conflict, self-esteem deficits, career choices/changes, and much more.
Working with clients in a solution-focused, action-oriented approach, in an effort to empower them to focus on their own positive behavior changes toward better happiness outcomes. I am willing to offer a very brief (no longer than five minutes) telephone consultation at no cost to discuss your counseling needs and determine if we are a fit.
