Life takes us on many unexpected twists and turns. No matter how hard working, tough or intelligent we are - none of us can get it right all of the time. Things have often been building up for a while, perhaps as early as our childhood. When we finally do fail, it hurts. We are shocked and caught unaware. We judge ourselves harshly and feel we are less than what we should be. This is when we need help in getting through these life transitions. Counseling can give us a fresh perspective. It helps us look at each crisis as an opportunity, to find even better directions for ourselves and for our loved ones. I provide a hands on, solution focused approach. Good therapy comes from a collaborative, interactive partnership that is patient driven and therapist guided. I have over 23 years of experience - treating a variety of addictive behaviors, mood disorders, anger and relationship issues. I focus on helping make positive, practical and long lasting changes Asking for help is one of the hardest things to do. It takes great strength and courage to admit "I can no longer do this on my own." As a counselor I provide a dignified, safe and non judgmental space where you no longer have to bear burdens alone. My goal is to make stepping outside your comfort zone a rewarding and healing experience with each session.
