Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being.

 I have 34 years of experience in the Mental Health Field, in the practice of Psychotherapy and Counseling. I help you identify and solve your problems. 

Therapy

When I first meet with you, I will ask you what your understanding of the problem is. " Why are you here today?" I will Listen, help you make sense of what is going on, and provide you with ideas and suggestions, and help you make a plan to get what you want or, help you accept something that is out of your control.

I will Listen to see if you are identifying and Acting On (not expressing) your Feelings (appropriately). I will assess your Personal Boundary Management and show you how to recognize your boundaries and how to manage them effectively, which will help you get back in touch with your "real" feelings. With just these 2 steps, you will find that many of your "symptoms" will decrease, along with your Stress Level.

Couples Therapy

We all need relationships, for love, for emotional and material support, for raising a family, for maintaining a low stress lifestyle, and ultimately, giving meaning to our lives. Relationships require compromise and the freedom to grow and define one's life in concert with and the support of one's partner. Mutual and individual life goals need to be fostered and supported, if the ultimate goal of life, and relationships, is happiness, contentment, and few regrets.

When you arrive, I will ask each of you for your ideas about the problems in your relationship. That will take most or all the time of the first meeting. I will provide an initial assessment and some suggestions. I may also ask you to begin homework projects towards improving your relationship. Most times, I will meet with you individually for the second meeting. In that meeting, I will gather your individual history, check on your first week's homework assignment, and begin to tailor individual goals with you that you can begin implementing. At this point, we may go a week or two before the next session, with the purpose of your practicing your different behaviors and noting the improvements in your relationship. Following this, we will continue meeting individually, if necessary, with the goal of meeting as a couple, again, in order to clarify and fine tune each member's individual goals in conjuntion with relationship goals. As therapy continues, we will work as a team to identify, clarify, and resolve problems and areas of conflict. At the point that you are comfortable in your relationship, we will mutually terminate our relationship.

Assessment

I provide Psychosocial Assessments, Mental Health Assessments, Sexual Offender Risk Assessments, Court Ordered Assessments, and Child Custody Assessments, All at Reasonable Rates. Compare my fees.

If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.
