Personal Statement
Welcome. I appreciate that choosing a therapist is a highly personal decision. Are any of the following goals for your own therapy important to you in making this choice? If so, I invite you to call me for a free brief phone consultation.
You want to feel comfortable and in a safe environment talking about things that are sometimes uncomfortable and that make you feel anxious.
You want someone with whom you can have a real conversation.
You want someone who does more than just sit there and go “uh huh;” someone as invested as you are in a successful outcome for your therapy.
You want an interactive therapist who genuinely cares about your well-being and is willing to go out of their way to provide you with a high level of timely responses, quality care, and personalized support.
You need immediate help with an urgent crisis.
You would like some guidance and maybe even advice that might help improve the quality of your life.
I offer the following Services:
Individual Counseling
Singles Counseling
Couples Counseling
Pre-Marital Counseling
Marriage Counseling
Reconciliation Counseling
Parent Counseling
Family Counseling
