My foundation for counseling is that of existential phenomenology which, loosely translated, means that to find meaning in one’s life one must examine the phenomenon of living.  

With my straightforward approach I am able to help people with:

• anxiety/stress
• impulsivity issues
• substance abuse
• eating disorders
• depression
• PTSD/trauma issues

and a variety of life changes that create emotional upheaval, such as:

• grief and loss
• existential issues
• relationship issues
• divorce

I offer hope to clients to help them find within themselves the strength that has always been there, and to help guide them to find meaning in their lives.  I also implement Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques as a method to help reduce self-destructive behaviors brought on by intense emotions, and I am DBT certified by the DBTNCAA.

Modern counseling services are offered for individuals, couples, and groups.
