My special interests include family counseling, relationship concerns, parenting concerns, women's issues, developmental transitions, ADHD, depression, anxiety, spirituality, career issues, communication, and self-esteem difficulties. I have a background in child protection services, rehabilitation counseling and clinical addictions.
My theory is that people have specific behaviors they would like to change, which are caused by our irrational, self-defeating beliefs learned from earlier life experiences. My goal will be to assist with changing these beliefs to change undesired behaviors and circumstances. Counseling is a personal exploration that leads to major changes in your life perspectives and decisions. These life changes could be temporarily distressing. Together we will work to achieve the best results for you.
Effective counseling is a two way street. It takes a cooperative effort by both the person receiving counseling and the counselor. And it takes a commitment to make sometimes difficult changes in behavior or thinking patterns. I look forward to working with you on this journey...
