I provide a broad range of counseling and psychotherapy services. While I certainly try to maintain a practical, solution-oriented focus, I do not believe in quick fixes or easy answers. My experience indicates that most people seeking counseling have well-entrenched ways of thinking, feeling and behaving; patterns that were developed early in life in their families of origin. Although I do not believe it is productive to “dwell in the past,” I feel it is essential to explore the root causes of emotional and psychological pain and dysfunction. Only by understanding one’s personal and family history is it possible to move forward … and avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. Because of my extensive and varied experience helping individuals address sensitive and complex issues, I am equipped with a unique and effective skill set that lends itself to creative conflict resolution and problem solving.
