Welcome to my website about mental health & counseling services, individual therapy, couples therapy and family therapy, for adolescents, adults and older adults.
Much Needed Support at a Difficult Time
When you’re going through a difficult time, you may feel that it’s all you can do to just take the next step. The struggles in life can sometimes feel very discouraging and overwhelming. Therapy can be very helpful in providing much needed support and encouragement at times like these.
Growing Through Life’s Difficulties
However, counseling might also help you to take things one step further. Counseling can also help you to turn life’s difficulties into opportunities for learning and growth.
Struggles often force us to take pause and to examine our lives, our relationships and our efforts at coping. Counseling at such a difficult time can help you to understand what’s going on, how you got there, and what you need in order to cope more effectively. Counseling can help you to approach your difficulty consciously and deliberately, rather than resorting to your usual automatic coping behaviors.
Moving Toward Your Personal Potential Provides Purpose and Meaning
If you can take advantage of this opportunity to learn from your mistakes, grow in your insight and understanding, and develop healthier behaviors, then you can use your struggle as a stepping stone toward your personal potential. This sort of striving, learning and growing is one of the things that gives life purpose and meaning.
My Goals as a Counselor
My goal is to help you get through your struggle, learn from it, better understand your difficulties, cope more effectively, improve your relationships, and to help you move your life in a positive direction.
I always strive to provide a warm and accepting therapeutic environment, with guidance and encouragement to examine yourself honestly and to make changes when necessary… in order to help you move toward your dreams of a more comfortable, satisfying and meaningful life.
My Areas of Focus
I am especially interested in helping people who struggle with emotions related to medical problems, aging, end of life issues, caregiving, grief, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, anger and stress management. I also believe that wellness and spirituality are an important part of health and healing. In addition to these areas, I have 10 years of experience of working with a wide variety of additional diagnoses and issues.
I believe in the power of talk therapy to make a profound and positive difference in people’s lives, and to help them move towards their goals.

Are you looking for a therapist?
If you’d like expert guidance for improving your mood, managing anxiety or anger, dealing with relationships, managing your stress, or coping with the stress of illness, I’m here to help. We all experience some good times and some bad. If you feel overwhelmed with life’s stressors, your relationships or emotions, then you might want to consider therapy. It helps to have someone kind to talk to, who won’t be judgmental, and who will help you think things through. As a counselor, that is my role in life; and I am grateful for the opportunity to help.
I know it can be difficult to find the right therapist for you. I hope to make that decision easier, by giving you a chance to get to know me a little bit through this website.
