Counseling can appear to be overwhelming and intimidating. However it does not have to be this way. As we seek validation and acceptance in our lives, there are certain paths that we must take to find them. I believe one of the most important things is for people to learn how to get along with other important people in their lives, such as friends, spouses, siblings, relatives, co-workers, etc. Additionally, I strongly believe that the fundamental relationship between a client and counselor is to foster openness, trust, and personal growth.

We don't have good words in the English Language for pain. We think of it as something that is almost completely physical. We assume that if someone can't point to a wound then they must not be in pain. Then when we try to express the pain we have to use words like depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder, or addiction. Instead of just being able to say, "I am hurting, and I want to stop." My goal is to help you find ways to stop hurting. Healing is often painful itself, but there can be a life with less pain.

I have 22 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, & couples, addressing a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, family issues, relationships, self-esteem, anger management, ADHD, personality disorder, behavioral challenges, etc. I strongly believe that counseling is a partnership between the therapist and the client, designed to arrive at the needed goals. Whereas the therapist has skills and training, the client is the expert on themselves and their families. Through working together with regard for the dignity and worth of each individual, challenges can be alleviated and strengths enhanced.

My 30-plus years of professional experience has taught me that we all have something in common.

Bad patterns of behavior are what create stress and unhappiness in our lives. I've worked with addictions of all kinds, ranging from eating disorders to substance abuse to codependency to process addictions (think nail-biting, smoking, gambling, shopping, etc). But bad habits, addiction or otherwise, frequently have effects on those around us, which is why I've also accumulated years of experience working with couples and families. Whether you're dealing with a behavior you'd like to alter or a relationship you'd like to improve, change is possible.
