I can help you develop useful techniques to create a road map for hope, inspiration and personal life changes. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience working as a professional counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including grief and loss, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, conflict and anger management, parenting problems, low self esteem, and career challenges. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating individuals with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), goal oriented solution focused therapy, mindfulness based approaches, emotionally focused therapy, narrative therapy, psycho-education, and stress reduction techniques. I use a strengths based, empowering and collaborative approach to therapy, emphasizing the belief that people possess natural competencies, skills, and expertise that can help guide change in their lives. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. If your are ready to start working on rewriting your life story?

A few quotes from one of my favorite books about the journey of Life – “Oh, The Places You’ll Go!” – Dr. Seuss “I’m sorry to say so but, sadly, it’s true that Bang-ups and Hang-ups can happen to you.” … You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. … “You’re off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So… get on your way!”
