I believe clients have a wealth of information and knowhow on how to solve their own problems but have become stuck for one reason or another. I meet the client wherever they find themselves and build from there. The work in sessions is gradual and in step with the client. In every session, beginning in the first session, goals will be set and the client, together with the therapist, will work towards those goals through exercises. Examples used in session are often drawn from client’s personal experiences on overcoming past difficulties and hardships, positively. Mindfulness and meditation will be part of some or all sessions. If the client is willing to work on past traumas, anxieties and phobias, Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing or EMDR will be offered. Cognitive Behavior Therapy or CBT and its exercises will be part of all or some sessions.

I have been practicing in the mental health field for more than 25 years. My goal is to provide my clients with a professional and confidential atmosphere where they can address their concerns. Sometimes we just need someone who is not involved with our situation to listen and provide us with an unbiased professional opinion. At other times, we may need some extra help making a difficult decision or may need to learn new strategies to manage a mental health or substance abuse condition of either ourselves or that of a loved one. We don't have to do this alone. Counseling can help. I offer evidence-based strategies to help my clients process difficult feelings and learn new ways of coping with their problems. Let me know how I can help.
