Counseling with Understanding
Relationship Specialist
Adolescents are my specialty. I deal with all relationship issues from interpersonal difficulties to difficulties in the work place. Grief and loss issues are also a speciality. If previous counseling has been ineffective, don't worry. Each counselor is different and only you are the judge of what works best for you.
I gladly discuss my philosphies of counseling with each and every client and do my utmost to meet
your goals. You set the goals - I provide the tools to enable you to successfully reach them. We work together to facilitate resolution of presenting problems as efficiently, yet thoroughly, as possible.
