The most meaningful thing that you can do for someone, is to genuinely listen. My goal for all who seek counseling, is to help you to be in the driver's seat to your emotions, guiding you towards your true potential, and helping you build true connections with healthy fulfilling relationships. I want you to know that it is okay to feel angry, sad, depressed, embarrassed, unintelligent, needy, and every other emotion; because, when you acknowledge and have control of these emotions, they can guide you to discovering who you are, ask for what you need, and identifying your path in life.

Beginning therapy, whether you are going for the first time, or are restarting a process can feel difficult and even lonely.

Especially for some of the most successful among us, we can hold ourselves to the highest standards of performance in all areas. Sometimes we may feel that we're supposed to have all the answers to the challenges life throws our way, even when that isn’t always possible. An achievement focus can come at the expense of other areas of our lives. I see therapy as a collaborative experience. I work with individuals and couples to help unlock what holds them back to gain an understanding of how our histories shape our present, while building a foundation of skills in the here-in-now to promote healing and a future that is self-defined.

Everyones initial thought and direction is to ensure that everything goes well for them in all areas of their lives - family and community. Unfortunately, during social interaction and general communication there is no guarantee that all will go well. Their feelings can be hurt, cognitive functioning adversely affected, all of which can lead to the display of unacceptable behavior. Our defenses can become weak. Assistance can be sought to enable the individual to get through those mishaps. The care which I can offer clients will enable them to work on their needs, attain goals to become once again positively functional.
