I hope that you'll find useful information about counseling, and about self-discovery and growth here. For those of you who would like additional, more detailed information, I've provided many links to other web sites and to books that I can personally recommend.

I am dedicated to maximizing the potential of our individual lives in my work as a licensed psychotherapist. I emphasize a "results-oriented" approach to identifying concerns or difficulties, and finding a way to help you move forward. As a "solution-focused" therapist, my goal is to help you better understand yourself and resolve challenges in your life

I also apply complementary therapy approaches and techniques to help you identify long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from the life you are searching for --- that you deserve. And, I often use "coaching" techniques to actively work with clients in developing goals and establishing realistic steps toward reaching them.

Thru teaching and training, I try to improve understanding of our mental and physical well-being, and how to maintain a healthy balance of family life, work, and outside interests.

My approach is informal and straightforward.

Please feel free to call or e-mail me. While I've tried to provide general information within this site, I can provide more meaningful answers when responding to specific questions.

And if my philosophy and approach seem to fit your needs, we can then arrange to meet in person or schedule a telephone session.

What lies behind us and what lies before us
are tiny matters
compared to what lies within us. (Ralph Waldo Emerson)
