About

At times life can become overwhelming and we realize that we could use help; and counseling is often the first step in creating the change to achieve the life that we want. And despite the barriers and obstacles that we encounter along the way, therapy can be transformative offering a way for enormous growth and success. It is my firm belief that the client is the most important person in the counseling relationship, and very often benefits from being an active participant in the solution-focused process. I have experience working with clients who have experienced difficulties with depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance abuse. Military veterans and first responders have also been a particular focus of my practice. Regardless of the presenting issues, however, I have found that treating my clients with compassion, respect, and empathy has produced sustained results. I am available to meet with clients to further discuss potential remedies for the conflicts that are making their lives stressful. If you are interested in learning more about what has worked for so many others, I invite you to reach out to make an appointment so we can begin the process.
