The town of Livingston, California was named after a British explorer who became an international celebrity in the late 1800s for exploring the continent of Africa. Many try to follow in his footsteps. But, being yourself is a better path to walk.

When trying to compare yourself to others, it can often lead to devastating effects on your self-esteem. If you’re struggling, contact a nearby licensed mental health therapist for help. They can help you with your issues, and you can learn to be exactly who you are with no apologies. Don’t try to be someone else -- find yourself today.

I think that each of us at one time or another struggles with self worth, coping with crisis, interpersonal conflicts, or problematic behaviors and can benefit from a caring counselor who understands, helps identify solutions, and who doesn't judge. Together we will work as a team towards the goals that you set, and assess our progress as we go. The hardest part is recognizing the need for help and having the courage to get started. I look forward to taking the next steps with you. My style is to focus on the here and now, with practical strategies for making meaningful changes that fit you and your situation. I rarely dwell on the past, although at times it may lend helpful insight or identify patterns or beliefs that are affecting you today. My approach is to focus on strengths and solutions - without psychobable. I am licensed in California, with over 20 years of experience in helping individuals, couples, and families experiencing life changes, parenting challenges, family conflicts, relationship problems, or substance use issues. I also have expertise and experience working with people who are experiencing difficulties with recent or past traumatic experiences.
