About
I am a counselor with over 30 years of experience helping people with a variety of issues. I approach my work from a cognitive/behavioral perspective. I am interested in helping you think about how you think, and to sort through life's complexities to help you achieve your goals. I do not imagine that I know how you should live, nor what your goals should be. My job is to help you gain clarity and motivation to move in the direction that you want to go. I routinely help clients with crises in their relationships, infidelity and divorce. I am a certified addictions counselor and can provide help for families and individuals seeking advice about treatment options, support while in recovery, and help with issues related to recovery. I have a long history of working with couples and an interest in adolescents. I have worked in a variety of settings with many types of clients and problems. If you are looking for help, I have often said; "Make me tell you no." If I can't provide the service you are looking for, I can certainly help you find someone who can.
