about

You're here - that's the first step.

Are you looking for personal counseling, relationship counseling, or are you here for someone else? Will this be your first-time meeting with a therapist? Or, are you seasoned (and maybe a little cynical)? Either way, welcome.

Let's talk logistics. You're balancing A LOT during an uncharted season for our world. The LAST thing you need is stress from therapy. I offer flexible scheduling options at affordable rates.

Let's talk about the thing you don't want to talk about. Here's my philosophy. Looking back is only helpful if it aids your forward movement. We each have painful or shameful points in our life story. I will never force you to reveal them or dwell on them. I will, however, create a safe space for you to step into freedom, including freedom related to your story. 

I'll close with a few comments regarding my clinical training and experience. I began my graduate work in 2002, and have integrated those skills into client care, teaching, public speaking, and volunteer efforts since 2004. I launched a counseling and community resource center in 2008 in response to a recession. In addition to my private counseling practice, I teach undergraduate and graduate courses at several local universities.
