Not counting that day in second grade when one of my school-mates came up to me on the playground and wondered if I could help her with a problem she was having at home,my passion for this work began 20 plus years ago when I began offering counseling professionally.
And of coursetraining and experienceare critical for a professional, I also know thatpracticing what I teach gives people hope and courage to know they can get better and achieve their dreams.
After 20 years, I love this work even more each year.

Although counseling therapy may sometimes challenge you, the relationship between us should be the easy part. It’s important that we share a warm, positive connection, and that I understand and genuinely empathize with you and your challenges. Though the boundaries and “rules” of a therapist-client relationship are more clearly defined than a friendship, our relationship should nevertheless feel friendly and safe to you. From there, we get busy and help you make the changes you want and need, using proven, effective tools and techniques. The changes you desire are truly possible!
Sometimes challenging emotions can get the best of you. They can start running the show and make choices for you. They can choose isolation rather than connecting, playing it safe instead of living fully, quick fixes instead of real solutions, procrastination over action. You may even fear that things will never get better and tell yourself to "just settle for less."
Also, what will it cost my children and loved ones if I don't live up to my full potential?
If you're paying a price . . . you're not alone. Many people experience these challenges at some point during their lives. We've been helping clients renew their confidence and create peaceful and productive lives for over 20 years.
The safe and nurturing therapeutic environment our therapists provide can help you make sense of your circumstances. Together, we can help you make peace with "what is." And you can begin to take charge of your life and your emotions, igniting your passion for life again.
Most people wait too long to get help, hoping things will get better. You may be suffering needlessly. If you've had a loss, either in the past or in the present, we can help you create a little breathing room from these challenges, so you can reassemble the pieces of your life and plan what to do next. We specialize in alternative and holistic methods as well as traditional therapy, helping you make a solid mind-body alliance that will reconnect you to the life you want.
Choosing a therapist is a very important decision. We offer a 15 minute phone consultation to make it easy for you to take that first step, and start making positive changes in your life.
