“People typically seek counseling to cope with life’s challenges, transitions, hurts, and losses. My hope is that, in our work together, these difficulties will not be permanent fixtures in your life. You may be striving to improve communication, gain greater understanding and deeper connections, increase attunement of yourself and of your family, or work through whatever rough waters you are experiencing. Together we will develop solutions and draw on your personal strengths and natural supports to help you meet your goals for therapy. I will honor each person and each family’s unique understanding of their challenges throughout the therapeutic process. [...]

“It is my highest priority in counseling to offer a safe, compassionate, and professional environment for sharing life’s most challenging struggles.

When one or any of our connections is broken, it can impact everything around us. Working toward improved insight and understanding of yourself and others is essential to healing. It is seldom easy. It can be hard work, but life on the others side can be satisfying [...]
