I often hear that I make people feel comfortable because I am relatable and easy to talk to; I pride myself on being pretty direct and straight-forward, as well as having a good sense of humor and a positive attitude. I believe therapy can – and should – be an enjoyable experience (even when it is dealing with difficult topics.) I can help you untangle the events of your past (and present) to address unhealed wounds and to make sense of the bigger picture while supporting you in making small, consistent changes in your thoughts and actions.

I am passionate about assisting my clients understand their personal wellness and eliminate barriers that prevent them from being their best selves. Wellness involves a persons’ emotional, physical, social, intellectual and spiritual well-being. Oftentimes when one experiences difficulties, one or more of these areas are out of balance. I love helping my clients find their balance. I have found that if one takes an active role and makes informed choices, they can create a healthy and fulfilling life.

When they enter counseling with me, clients are experiencing depression and anxiety. Usually it is moderate to severe; at times it is in response to a current stressful event or loss, for some clients, their depression is long standing. It is not unusual at all for a new client to have seen therapists previously, without benefit. Yet, after four to six sessions, they tell me that they have already started to experience much benefit, with this also being obvious from there presentation of self, and body language. With further sessions, the client moves into an exalted state of happiness or even euphoria. Remarkable & Joyous to see!
