Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor
Counseling with me is not "just talking" about a problem.
I can help you build insight and skills for breaking out of old, ineffective patterns.
We'll identify what is keeping you from getting where you want to go and develop actionable steps for making the positive change you need in your life.

Want to do more than 'just talk' about the problem? We might be a good fit.
Who I Help
My clients tend to be high-achievers who are exceptional in their jobs, but struggle to find a healthy balance between their roles as a worker, a partner, and an individual. They often have trouble relaxing and avoid letting others help them.
I work with adults from a variety of different cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, and belief systems.
Clients who work with me enjoy learning about how their mind works, want someone who can challenge them when needed, and are ready to to try out new strategies for dealing with old problems.
What I Might Hear
-
I do not want to talk about this, but I think I need to and that irritates me.
-
I have trouble picking the 'right' dialogue options.
-
I want to know why we keep having the same arguments over and over. I want it to stop.
-
One of us is too logical and the other one is too emotional. We aren't resolving anything!
-
I think about this so much, but nothing is changing.
-
I have a big decision to make. I need help knowing how to make the right choice for me.
