Helping People Find Therapists & Advocating for Ethical and Healthy Therapy & Marriage Counseling Practices

My Approach to Helping

Do you have issues that control you rather than allowing you to control your own life? Overwhelmed? Trapped? Stagnant? Or just needing to resolve and adjust to some aspects of life? I am interactive in sessions and give much feedback so that you can evaluate what you verbalize and seek needed change. Click on my website for a full description of myself and my session format. both for individual and couple's counseling. Reach high and aim for a stronger sense of self and relationship harmony. Be enabled to be the person you want to be with the relationships you want for yourself. I can give you the psychological tools so that you can improve your life but it is up to you to work on that change. Usually after just one session there is some feeling of relief and improvement.
