The first sentence in M Scott Peck’s book, “The Road Less Traveled” says “Life is difficult.”  He goes on to say, “Once we truly understand and accept it- then it is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.”

I’ve been a therapist for over 20 years, a Nationally Certified Counselor since 1994, a Licensed Mental Counselor since 1999, and a Qualified Supervisor since 2006. My therapeutic foundation has many influences:  Existential psychology, Gestalt therapy, Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Solution Focused Brief therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment therapy to name a few.

I am relationship centered and focused on authenticity.  I am passionate about assisting others improve their ability manage life’s difficulties- to accept and then grow through them. I’ve had the good fortunate of walking with many individuals, adults, children, couples, and families on their journey, and I’d be honored to walk with you on yours.  The journey will be based on authenticity, genuineness and compassion.  I’ll bring my clinical experience, skill, and my authentic self and you bring your experience, skill as well the willingness and commitment to face what is calling you.

“The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfilled.  For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different or truer answers.”(M Scott Peck).

Workshops, seminars and groups are also available on practical but meaningful topics that speak to the soul such as:  Happiness, Your authentic self, Flow, Applying Metaphors, Conflict, and many more.
