Welcome! I commend you for considering this courageous step toward the process of change, growth and healing. I am, also, honored that you would consider inviting me along as your companion. My principal focus is counseling individuals, couples and families who are struggling with a variety of life's challenges such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief and loss, separation and divorce, along with many other challenges that occur on our journey through life. Goals for therapy will be developed collaboratively, as, the overall objective of therapy is the successful resolution of issues deemed most important through this collaborative process.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, operating from a wellness model while integrating a systemic perspective into my work. This means that, together, we will explore the impact of family, work, community and social environments and how these systems may serve as obstacles or support for change, growth and healing.
Finally, yet, no less importantly, my goal is to provide you with a warm, supportive, safe, accepting and challenging environment so that you can accomplish the change, growth and healing that you desire. "Effective therapy begins with the acceptance of the therapist into the client's quality world." - William Glasser.
