YOU deserve the BEST in life and I am proud of you for making it this far! If you want help to better yourself or just want someone to talk to, I am here for you! Sometimes therapy can seem very intimidating, but I am a laid back therapist who is here to listen. The therapeutic relationship is built on trust and I want you to feel safe to talk openly and freely. If you are struggling with something overwhelming, let me help you to get through it. I have experience working with people of all ages who struggle with the stresses of life, such as balancing work/school with personal life or if you struggle with severe mental illness.

I have been a psychologist in practice for over 30 years. I work in a collaborative style with clients. I am active in that I ask questions, make specific suggestions or assignments and may suggest monitoring moods or behavior. Although I am eclectic in that I will use whatever therapeutic approaches will be most effective in helping clients reach their goals, I primarily work from a cognitive-behavioral perspective. Cognitive-behavioral treatment is best for helping change negative thought patterns and beliefs that underlie problem moods and behaviors. It is focused on the here and now and has been found effective with many problems.

A Brand New Start Counseling is exactly that. During our lives, we are presented with many opportunities to start anew, whether those opportunities come from deliberate personal choice or a combination of life events that just happen. It is my goal to meet you where you are in your life and assist you as you begin your new start to developing a healthier, more empowered you.

When you are able to understand yourself and your needs, then the tools and skills needed to help you are easier to select and be more useful in our counseling together.
