Personal Statement

Congratulations, you've just taken the first step - reaching out... Working out problems on your own can be tough. Change is sometimes painful, but can be liberating. We can work together to find solutions that work for you. It's true that if you don't change something ... nothing will change.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and have helped people create solutions for over 20 years. I have experience with life transitions (divorce, grief, job loss or change, and other major life changes), depression, trauma, substance abuse, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety, and PTSD. I know that I can create a safe place for you to share, and offer you my compassion and the non-judgmental listening that you deserve.

I try to suit my approach to you as an individual, but I primarily use Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Emotional Freedom Technique is a skill I can teach you, so that you can help yourself. I'm also trained in wellness coaching.
