Counseling
If you’re here today, this means you’ve decided that your tomorrow will be different. You may have thought about seeking therapy now and then for years or maybe just a few days. Regardless, you may be ready for something new in your life. I believe all of us have a desire to feel peaceful & positive about ourselves & to live a vital authentic life. Sometimes stresses related to work, relationships, & our views of ourselves can present challenges. Therapy is a resource. My counseling relationships are guided by my respect for the individual person. My approach to mental health is collaborative. I’m interested in my client’s ideas, thoughts, & feelings. I have a strong belief that people have the potential to grow, change, and thrive.
Evening & Weekend Hours
Are you having trouble finding a counselor who is available in the evening or on weekends? I have flexible evening & weekend hours available.
Contacting Me
I believe that a good fit between a counselor & client is essential to therapy. Before you schedule an appointment, I’ll want to talk with you briefly over the phone to determine whether I’m a good fit for your particular issues and needs. In addition, you may have specific questions or concerns that I have not addressed on this website. I look forward to talking with you.
