Vitalis Counseling

When you choose to work with me, you are one of my people rather than a client. You will find that my passion is giving you exceptionally high quality therapy and this includes a formal rating and feedback opportunity at each session. This feedback allows you to teach me to be the best therapist for your particular needs. I utilize several types of therapy, including CBT, choosing which ever one I believe will serve you best. My people tell me how much they appreciate that I follow up with them between sessions during challenging times and they feel truly valued and cared for.

I work in partnership with you. You will tell me your goals and I will suggest ways to achieve your goals. And along the way it's very likely I will show you that you have a lot more strengths and resources than you realized. You are not your problems. You are a person who has some challenges and, really, who doesn't? You're simply smart enough to get some extra help in tackling yours!

I specialize in treating insomnia and nightmares with brief and highly effective therapies. I also love to work with people who want to improve their self-worth or who are recovering from an abusive person in their life. Chronic pain, depression, and anxiety are other issues I address.

I'm a board certified counselor, board certified in distance counseling, and a certified grief counselor. I've had special training in treating insomnia and my people have great success in improving their sleep. I offer distance counseling and also have some evening and Saturday hours available. And, finally, I offer a free 45-minute consultation so that you and I can be comfortable we're a good fit before we get started.

When I see my people meet or exceed their goals and achieve changes they weren't sure they could accomplish, it makes my day. Seeing my peoples' lives expand and become richer is incredibly fulfilling. And I am honored and humbled that people allow me to be part of their lives.
