Welcome!

Whether you are seeking brief counseling for a current situation, psychotherapy for deeper work, or consultation, my intention is for you to feel heard and validated, to become clear and confident, and to have a sense of purpose and direction.  Helping you increase hope, reduce stress, resolve your issues, and succeed in healthy ways is at the heart of my practice.  Adults, couples, professionals, and children are welcome in my practice.

Effective therapy can influence your relationships; emotional well-being; communication; creativity; self-concept; and how well you perform at work, academically, and in your personal life.  I have deep respect for those who seek professional support--whether to manage a crisis or other stressful situation, to resolve "old" issues, to lay groundwork for a critical decision, or to get helpful information.
     
Details about my practice and my background are on this website and in my brochure Part 1 and Part 2.  I welcome the opportunity to explore with you what you are seeking and whether or not I might be helpful to you.  Thank you for visiting my website.
