Personal Statement

Life is often overwhelming, relationships are always complicated, but when things seem to be in such a state that you cannot untangle the issues or feel like you are unable to deal with the situation, then counseling may be the answer.

Whether you are looking for someone to walk through a current transition of a life stage, having difficulty in your relationship, needing help with parenting a troubled teen, or are currently in crisis, I am willing and able to help process and untangle situations that seem confusing and unmanageable.

Whether you need couples therapy, need to optimize your brain through Neurofeedback or would like to try Equine Assisted Therapy, I strategize action-oriented goals, giving you specific homework assignments to work on. When we know our core values, how we are wired and what we stand for, we can understand ourselves, better. Knowing our core values about each other builds esteem and honor into our relationships.
