The Best Investment You Can Make — In Yourself

"Therapy has a payoff that keeps giving every day for the rest of our lives."

Talking with a therapist in a safe environment, clarifying who we are and what we want out of life, facing long-standing difficulties and finding new ways of coping and growing … all of these possibilities can make taking the time for therapy a valuable choice.

  • "Depressions Do Lift!" In counseling, people often find that they can renew their hope and find ways to live with more joy and purpose. I provide a sturdy, caring, and challenging environment that is effective in assisting persons who feel oppressed by sadness and hopelessness.

  • "Crises are opportunities for growth." All of us experience difficult events in life that bring heartache and loss. My relationship-focused counseling gives people a place to share their trials. With such support, we can then often find the opportunities that lay beneath the crises that we face in life.

  • "Counseling that is growth-oriented, not just problem-oriented." Healthy people seek counseling in order to explore their thoughts and feelings about life. Such exploration about life has long been a part of spiritual growth. I am committed to helping communities use therapy as a positive resource.

  • "Relationships are the stuff of LIFE." I specialize in helping people grow in their ability to connect. You can receive help to experience more healthy relationships, to have more heart-to-heart connections in life.


Beyond your roles there is an essential you, and there is nothing that you need to do to be accepted and loved in your essential self.
