Are you or someone you care about ready for change? Consider these questions:
Are you tired of feeling "depressed", "anxious" or stressed out?
Are you constantly belittling yourself, putting yourself down about how you look, your weight, or some personality trait connected to compromised ?
Are you going through a life transition like divorce, midlife crisis, separation, job loss, relocation, break-up and feel unsure about your life direction?
Are you fed up with unsatisfying relationships and dysfunctional people?
Did someone in your life die leaving you grief stricken, disoriented, and wondering what to do next?

Ready For Change?
The decision to seek counseling can be a big one and there are many counselors eager to help. I put myself forward because I know counseling works, I believe in what I do, and I know people can feel better. I have 20 years professional experience working with people who have suffered from years of disliking themselves, self blame, "depression", "anxiety", dysfunctional pasts, and social and emotional challenges.
It is my intention to provide you with high quality, confidential, and supportive counseling that can help you make the changes you want, feel better, like yourself more, and reduce or eliminate feelings of "depression", and "anxiety".
