As a professional counselor I value the uniqueness of each person and in the strength and creativity of the human spirit. Within the counseling relationship is a safe place to define areas for growth, vent feelings, explore the many possibilities, find encouragement and move toward peacefulness. My approach to counseling is gentle and encouraging, although I can be direct when it is helpful. I will support without judging and am respectful of individual and/or cultural differences. My approach draws on a number of theoretical orientations that best suit the group or individual needs.

Among my eclectic mix of professional orientations are Psychoanalytic, Humanistic, Cognitive-Behavioral, Family Systems, Adlerian and Client Centered approaches. All services are confidential and professional, holding to the ethical standards of Professional Counseling.
