New Directions Counseling

I am a warm, nurturing mental health counselor who cares about what is important to you. We are not just solving problems. My goal is to assist you in finding a deep sense of pride and comfort within yourself, developing useful tools that help you deal with life on life's terms, and peace and contentment with who you are and how you are able to successful cope with difficulties throughout your lifespan.

In our first couple of sessions, we will explore emotional, relational, family and self issues so you can quickly experience some immediate relief and feelings of hope. We will then continue to build resilience, sound coping strategies, an understanding of yourself and of others, the ability to communicate with others well that provide you with genuine feelings of peace and serenity.

I use a number of different counseling methods but as my client, you come before methodology, so I combine ideas and methodology designed to best meet YOUR unique needs and goals. We want to build success upon the successes you have already gained to build a life you are excited about living. Whether we are dealing with trauma, anxiety, relational difficulties, addictions, emotional abuse or painful losses, direction for your life or simply communication skills, we will look at our work holistically and through combining specific therapies to meet your needs.

Watching clients get relief from emotional pain and blossom into a peaceful balance with arms open to their world, is a reward in itself. I search for the newest in techniques and therapy ideas that work at the brain's neuro-network basis and prove themselves effective. Our brain is ever changing and it is within our ability to change negative thought patterns into emotional health and well-being.

I truly look forward to meeting you and helping you build the best life possible for you and those you love.
