Working together we will find solutions and resolve conflicts.  My extensive nursing experience, helping patients challenged with serious health issues, has taught me the importance of holistically treating clients' physical, mental and spiritual lives. Counseling will revolve around issues of self worth, physical and mental health, relationships, career satisfaction and spirituality.  Human relationships are central to our happiness since they help us to carry on, always hoping for future developments.  Relationships take the form of couples/marriage, parent/child, siblings, colleagues, acquaintances and treasured friendships.  My approach facilitates awareness of your individual attributes and value that uniquely distinguish you as a vital individual within your social network and environment.  Psychotherapy may necessitate exploration of your past and present history, in addition to beliefs and behaviors that have resulted in some type of difficulty.  This process might be painful.  As it has been said, “The truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable.” Problems can manifest as depression, anxiety, uncontrollable fears, phobias, addictions, obsessive compulsive thoughts/behaviors, marriage discord, parenting conflicts, career issues, troubles with sexual functioning, eating, sleeping, or physical health disorders.  Regardless of the symptoms, our goal will be to uncover the series of events which led to the present problematic situation and the necessary steps to plan for its resolution.  Through a mirrored trust that we will build with one another, you will begin to see yourself more clearly and better appreciate your unique and precious worth.  Simultaneously, you will learn how to control your negative, self-defeating behaviors, as well as competently deal with pain.  We will work on self-soothing skills, strategies for asking for what you need, saying ‘no’ and coping with interpersonal conflict.
