I have worked with individuals with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. My counseling style is warm and connected. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Specifically, my counseling approach is using cognitive-behavioral techniques and self-guided help. I will individualize our dialog and treatment plan to address your specific needs. The counseling relationship is a professional relationship based on trust, security, and mutual respect. In working together, the focus will be on you and your concerns, and will not involve my personal life or concerns. Because the counseling relationship is professional and not social, contact with you will be limited only to counseling sessions and telephone contact necessary for your treatment. These limits are designed to protect your best interests and to ensure that all energies are focused on your concerns. I believe that everyone I engage with should be able to have a better, more harmonious well-being every day and I look forward to helping you achieve that goal.
