I believe your situation is unique and deserves an individualized plan that addresses your specific needs and goals. You can be assured I will always remember your unique "story" every time we meet. My approach to counseling is straight forward, yet caring and compassionate.
A few of the areas I specialize in are marital and couple's counseling including stepfamilies and issues unique to military families, depression and anxiety disorders, weight loss and emotional eating, obsessive-compulsive disorders, body focused repetitive disorders such as skin picking, hair pulling, nail biting.
Have you been thinking about starting therapy? Are you unsure if this is the right time? Do you worry your particular situation isn't "bad" enough to seek therapy? Let me help you decide. Take the first step by sending me an email. I will get back to you within 24 hours.
