Personal Statement

Therapy is a means to self-discovery, clarity, and goal setting. It is an opportunity to uncover harmful behaviors and use our strengths to bring about positive changes. Therapy can bring us closer to ourselves and others, becoming at peace with the present. Healing, reconciliation, and recovery can occur through engaging in the psychotherapeutic process. It is a time for reflection and awareness.

As a therapist, my job is to guide and encourage you through the process of self-exploration. Therapy is an opportunity for productive discussions and conversations, and I take joy in helping others find new ways to cope with life’s many challenges.

Whether you are struggling as an individual, couple, or family, I can assist you regarding a number of issues. Anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, career issues, parenting issues, stress management, conflict resolution, and substance abuse and recovery are just some of the challenges I help people through.

I see counseling as hosting a conversation in which you and I together talk about your life situation and see what changes you want to make to have a more fulfilling life. You may be in some kind of pain, dealing with some suffering and going through a difficult time. Counseling may be just what you want for a short period of time--giving you long term positive results.
