Counseling Services
Philosophy and Therapy Style
I am a relationship-oriented counselor, providing individual,
couples and family therapy, with a focus on fostering healthy
relationships with both the self and others. I help clients identify
and understand relationship and behavioral patterns, and move
toward alignment with their goals, personal integrity and internal
knowing.
A foundational principal of my work is the belief that with increased self-awareness, we are better able to navigate the challenges our lives offer us. As our self-appreciation increases, we are freed up to interact in the world with greater peace, confidence, integrity and joy.

- Teaches you new and more effective ways to interact with others and deal with challenging situations

Do you have evening appointments?
In addition to my regular weekday hours, I offer some evening appointments.
