Yes, first session is a free, initial 1-hour consultation.
Trauma, anxiety-related disorders, OCD, phobia, anger, couples therapy, and parenting of teens. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the gold standard treatment for many, many disorders. Learn to feel, think, and engage life in ways you've always wanted. I use research-tested methods and my 18 years' experience as a professional counselor to guide you in building yourself up, breaking free, and finding freedom from limiting beliefs, feelings, and behaviors. You are capable of making the changes you want to see in your life, but everyone needs help sometimes. I'm professionally trained and here to help you now. Newly added: faith transitioning counseling.

I have many years experience in helping clients overcome abuse, bullying, and their after-effects that still plague us years after the initial trauma. I believe everyone deserves to be emotionally free of others' expectations--and that through counseling you can learn to stand up for yourself and loved ones.

Your brain changes positively or negatively with every experience. Counseling guides neural changes, creating new habits that help you achieve your goals. Counseling is a relationship. People thrive on good relationships. That's why counseling works. Call me for a free initial office consultation to see if we work well together.
