Sometimes you come into counseling knowing exactly what you want to change and sometimes it takes time for us to discover this together. Whatever your issue may be, we can collaboratively work through your issues together. My background is varied as I have experience working with children as well as adults. I believe no problem is too big or too small to tackle.
In the past I have helped people struggling with addiction issues, life transitions, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and grief recovery just to name a few. I have worked with couples who are having relational issues, gay and lesbian couples, intergenerational couples, couples practicing polyamory or open relationships, and couples experiencing infidelity.
I invite anyone who is experiencing trouble or having difficulty in their life to take the steps to make the changes they know will make them feel better. Counseling can be a big step and you have made the first step by deciding to make changes. Let's fix your problems together.
