As your therapist,  I will be your guide on your long exploration.  I will run ahead to make sure the path before you is safe.  I will help create a safe haven for you from the elements.  I will tap into your strengths and magnify them so you can move forward.  I will walk with you on your journey so you will not be alone.  

There are many reasons a person seeks out the help of a therapist.  Perhaps you are not performing as well as you like at school, and work.  Perhaps the elements of life are dragging you down, and you need help finding a new path,  or a hand to help you with the one you are on, but can't change for reasons beyond your control.  Sometimes our family relationships are no longer what they once were, and we are left craving deeper intimacy.  You define your journey. 

I am committed to the care of my clients.  I have over 20 years experience in the community and the courts, working with people, with a wide range of concerns: depression, anxiety, learning disabilities, ADD and relationships, woman's issues, self esteem, family therapy, the impact of physical and mental illness on the family, abuse and trauma. 

In conjunction with therapy I encourage nutrition, exercise,  and meditation.  I teach these elements to address your individual needs.  My goal as your "guide" is to maximize your strengths and teach you skills that you will take with you when you continue your journey on your own. 

Lets get started........

Your hopes.  Your happiness.  Our Journey. 

Now is the time...

Dear Explorer,

Therapy is an exploration and a journey. As you travel through life, you sometimes have a lot of energy to move forward, and you can't wait until you get to the next landing to stop and see where you have been and to excitedly anticipate what is coming next.  Sometimes, what you see ahead of you may fill you with fear and anxiety. This fear may cause you to want to retreat to the roads and paths that are most familiar -but not necessarily the best ones for you. Sometimes you will have little or no energy to forge forward. This time, it is not fear that slows you down, but lethargy: the journey itself and the elements have worn you down, and you just don't think you can move on. You are stuck. This is when you can benefit from a guide.
