SENSITIVE AND CONFIDENTIAL  

                     COUNSELING

The Therapeutic Process

My therapy approach is a collaborative effort.  My clients, whether individuals or couples, actively participate in their therapy.  Together we agree on therapy goals and work as a "team" to resolve issues and reach those goals.  To undertake therapy takes courage, and discipline, for this I applaud you—your efforts will not go unrewarded!

I hope that you find the information on my site helpful.  In the classic book, The Road Less Traveled, it opens with the sentence "Life is difficult."  To this I say: yes, it can be, but we do not have to suffer because of that, and we do not have to be alone when we face those difficulties. 

A healthy mind is a beautiful mind.  From time to time, however,we may suffer from relationship problems, anxiety, depression, unfulfilled goals and inner conflicts.  Disturbing thoughts, feelings and beliefs may interfere with our happiness and success.

I believe in the practical principles of psychotherapy as a tool that can provide opportunities to create positive change, healing and growth.  By working with a trained objective professional you can become more effective, happier, live your life with more purpose and become closer to that person that you were created to be! 

I would be delighted to meet you and talk over your situation. If you are thinking about therapy for you or your loved ones, you have come to the right place.  Since a healthy mind is our greatest asset, addressing the impediments to your success and happiness is a worthy investment!

Today you are one step closer to a new you, where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being.

   Counseling Philosophy

    A safe and nurturing     

    environment to grow,  

       explore and heal 

    confusion, fears, self

     doubts, negativities,

  childhood wounds and

           unhappiness.

I believe that you, my client, have a resiliency and possess inner resources to release fears, unwanted patterns, limiting beliefs and old feelings that may be blocking you. 

I assist you toward reclaiming your personal power, self-acceptance, satisfying relationships and the achievement of inner peace and harmony.

Problems in our lives, when embraced, offer opportunity for growth and change!  I would very much like to assist you in this process.
