You may be seeking therapy because you want change in your life or perhaps you are dealing with a difficult situation. You will have my full focus and I will work to understand you and to learn what you need at this time. Research shows that therapy is much more effective if client and therapist have a strong connection. To facilitate this, I offer a complimentary 30 minute consultation so we can ensure working together feels right. I offer client-focused counseling for individuals, couples, teens and elders. I seek to understand you as a whole person and in relationship.
When it's working right, therapy is a relationship that evolves. We will periodically reassess to ensure you are seeing desired changes, explore alternatives and work with respectful challenges. I strive to work with esteem for you and with kindness in my heart.
I focus on: change and transformation, improving relationships through respectful communication, holistic therapy by utilizing somatic techniques, breathing and other therapies. I'm experienced with: depression, anxiety, panic, divorce & relationship recovery, self-esteem, relationship enhancement, addiction recovery, mood disorders. I'm a trained grief counselor and familiar with 12-Step.
