			I work best with clients who respond well to empathy, honesty, insight, and humor. Those who are ready to commit to the hard work involved in changing their lives will certainly benefit the most from the sort of counseling that I provide. I believe life satisfaction depends upon being fulfilled in your personal life and your work life. Therefore, my counseling approach often encompasses both personal counseling and career counseling. I encourage relationship work, healthy lifestyle changes, and personal empowerment as part of the counseling process. I employ elements of interpersonal, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral therapy in my work. Issues that may be addressed through counseling: Depression Anxiety Disorders Career Counseling Women's Issues Spirituality Life Transitions Eating Disorders Relationship Issues Gay Lesbian Issues Grief and Loss Adoption Academic Difficulties Counseling is a personal matter and it is important that you find the right professional to address your needs. I offer phone consultations so that you can get a sense of whether my services will be of help to you. If I believe that I can be of assistance to you or your family, I will encourage you to set up an initial appointment with me. At this point, we can talk in more depth about the issues that brought you to counseling and what your goals for counseling might be. I will let you know my initial impressions about whether individual, couples, or family therapy would be most helpful. This initial session gives you the opportunity to meet me and determine whether you feel comfortable with me and the approach to therapy that I recommend.
