My Ideal Client

I will help you discover what blocks your life's development. Counseling is an evolving process, which does not happen along the same path for each individual. However, most clients strive for the same thing, "to be happy." I work in a collaborative, strength's-based fashion to help you improve your life and your relationships. Life truly can be Content.

My Approach to Helping

I promise to be supportive in every step of your journey. My goal is to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life. I achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan. I specialize in helping people struggling with relationships, life transitions, depression, anxiety, and addiction/substance use (your own addiction or helping you deal with a family members'). For the past 20+ years I have been providing confidential counseling enabling people to learn new ways of coping with life's problems. I believe change is possible.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that each person lives most fully when they are connected to their deepest self, unimpeded by the barriers and burdens we all accumulate during our lives. My work is to help people free themselves so they can live from a place of honesty, compassion and love. I believe we all have the capability to create the life we want to live. I will help you discover what blocks your life's development.
