It is difficult to confide your most personal and private thoughts and feelings in someone who is a stranger to you. Seeking help to face problems and not knowing how to find it or whether there are answers can be terrifying . It is hard enough to take the steps to reach out for help without worrying about being judged or shamed by a professional. My goal as a therapist is to provide my clients with a safe and judgment-free counseling experience.

I have many years of experience as a therapist and provide individual, couples, family, and group counseling. I work primarily with adults and adolescents. I am a trained substance abuse counselor and a Board Certified Sex Therapist, providing therapy for individuals and couples. I work with couples experiencing difficulties with their relationship and/or sex life, and offer pre-marital counseling. My practice also includes the treatment of mood disorders, anxiety, abuse issues, compulsive behaviors, as well as sexual disorders and addictions.

I have extensive experience working with clients who live alternative lifestyles, providing a safe place for people living all alternative lifestyles to talk openly and explore issues. I work with members of the GLBT community and have experience working with transsexuals in transition.

I take the mystery out of psychotherapy and have a genuine understanding of what it takes to change. My role as a therapist is to work in partnership with my clients to guide and empower them to find solutions to life's problems. You will have a safe space to explore your issues, find solutions, and receive my support throughout the process.

Therapy Via Webcam now available!!!!!!

This works just like visiting my office without leaving the comfort of your home. Sessions last for an hour. Save gas, travel time, and no need to find a babysitter. You receive all the services clients visiting my office receive. All that is required is webcam and installing Microsoft Windows Live Messenger on your computer. This is an ideal alternative to those living too far from my office to make office visits practical.

What to expect when You meet with Me:

Most people who begin counseling experience some anxiety. Don't be surprised if you are a little nervous. After all, you are meeting me for the 1st time and are hoping that I can help you with the problems and issues you are experiencing. You may have some expectations of what you will experience either from your past experience with a therapist, what you have seen in the media, or from what friends or relatives have told you.

I understand that seeking counseling can be an ordeal for some and I make every effort to help you feel comfortable with me. You will enter my office and see a notice to ring a call bell. If I am not with another client, I will peak my head through the window and greet you with a smile and introduce myself. If I am with another client, I will greet you as soon as possible. I will hand you a few forms to complete. These forms give me some general information about you and the nature of the problem you came to me to help you with.

Once you have completed these forms we will sit and have a conversation. During this conversation I will get to know you and help identify the issues that brought you to see me. From this point we will work together to seek solutions that will help you improve the quality of your life.
