Private, personal therapy for adults in a safe environment.
My approach to therapy is client-centered and collaborative. Every person is unique, and your individual goals will determine the direction of our work. I respect the special kind of courage it takes to open yourself to the possibility of change. A safe, confidential setting will give you the freedom to be honest with yourself, listen to your own wisdom, and find better ways to meet your challenges. Our process will be positive, down-to-earth, and at times even humorous, as we sort through life’s complexities to find the clarity you seek. Please feel free to call if you have questions or are unsure about starting therapy.

All of us would like to be happy and successful. But sometimes life gets in the way. Whether you feel completely overwhelmed or just a little stuck, it can be helpful to talk with someone who has the education and experience to help you. Ask yourself:
Have I forgotten what it’s like to feel happy?
Is anxiety preventing me from doing what I want to do?
Am I facing a complicated decision?
. . . going through a difficult transition?
. . . discouraged about an important relationship?
Do some memories keep me from moving on?
The decision to begin therapy does not mean there is something “wrong” with you. It means that you believe that your life could be better, and you might be ready to make some changes.
