I would like to tell you stories of why counseling works: About the vibrant young woman who stopped by my office today to say goodbye as she heads off on an exciting new chapter in her life - who first appeared at my door, head down, tearful, lonely, and fighting depression. A teenager - once a \"cutter\" and failing school - and is now getting A\'s and B\'s in Honors Classes, preparing for college, and trying activities she never thought she was brave enough for before. Or a man, who in spite of constant stressors and family struggles, is finally finding what works for his overwhelming anxiety. I could go on and on.
People (adults, teens, couples) usually come to see me because they are trying to work out issues like improving communication in relationships; sadness; stress and anxiety; dealing with life transitions (relationship changes, careers, grief, etc), or even having difficulty making decisions. The reasons for coming into counseling are many and I believe that everyone can benefit. Nobody\'s life is exempt from challenges, and counseling simply offers a healthy avenue to take on those challenges using your own strengths, and discover insights about yourself that will give you the momentum you need for healing and change. What I provide is the healing and non-judgmental space, combined with my professional knowledge, experience, and genuine care and empathy to guide you through this process. I will approach your problems in a way that works with how you think and what you believe. To me every client is unique, so I don\'t just specialize in one type of counseling.
