Although we all experience change, it doesn't mean that we can always effectively handle the stress of transition. Sometimes we feel "lost at sea". With support, you can learn to surf the waves of change, steer in the direction that is right for you, and find the clarity, creativity and humor to help you stay afloat.

With over 30 years of counseling adults I know that "one size does not fit all" and I tailor my methods and style to meet the needs of each client. I believe in the ability of each person to find his or her way by building on their strengths and increasing their ability to be resilient. Connecting with others, building new skills, learning to improvise in meeting life's challenges, and finding the humor, even in life's dark times, are all ways of staying emotionally healthy during those stressful times. My intention is to build a supportive, trustworthy, and meaningful relationship with my clients so they feel understood and safe as they explore and confront the issues and concerns they are dealing with.

I will  be there for you 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.
