Welcome!

I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in private practice. I provide counseling to older adolescents, adults, and couples.

Why “Honoring the Courage to Change?”  Years ago, while working with those in recovery, I learned a prayer written by theologian Rheinhold Niebuhr and adopted by 12 Step Programs the world over.  It’s known as The Serenity Prayer.

“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, Courage to change the things that I can,  And wisdom to know the difference.”

This prayer is a point of reflection for me personally and reflects well the work done in therapy – finding the balance between acceptance and change and then finding the courage to make the changes that lead to peace of mind and spirit. 

I honor the courage to change by:

• Recognizing that the hardest part of changing might be making that first call
• Ensuring a non-judgemental, safe and confidential environment
• Helping clients clarify and formulate clear, achievable goals
• practicing in a professional, ethical and theoretically sound manner
• Recognizing that joining someone in their journey toward change is in deed an honor

I hope you find the information about my practice helpful in choosing a clinician to walk with you toward that change.
