I’m Here to Help
As a psychologist, I am very interested in your thoughts and feelings. I also love it when you gain valuable insights and can openly express what is going on for you on a heart level. But therapy doesn’t end there.
I’m also keenly interested in how your thoughts and feelings affect your behavior. You can “know” something on a cognitive level, but when it comes to the actual situation, old habits and old ways of thinking have a way of taking back control. Many clients feel like when they are around certain people, like some friends and family members, they are irresistibly sucked back into old dynamics they thought they had outgrown.
How long are the sessions?
Sessions are 45 minutes long.
How can I get the most out of counseling?
For best results, I recommend that clients meet with me on a weekly basis. This is especially helpful in the beginning until clients are able to gain “traction.” Clients who see changes the quickest are the ones who complete their homework and come back ready to talk about it. They tend to make the most progress because they are able to build on previous sessions.
If counseling works for me, how long will it take for me to see results?
Every client situation is different. Many clients start seeing improvements within weeks. There are other problems that are more difficult, and clients have been dealing with them for a lifetime. They have essentially been reinforcing certain neural pathways in their brain for so long, those pathways have become like neural superhighways. It may take more time and patience to build new habits and ways of thinking.

Do you work with children?
I work with adults age 18 and older. For children and adolecents needing individual counseling, I have names of some terrific counselors who specialize in working with children.
