Welcome
“The right path is very rarely the easy one. If it were easy, everyone would do it. Sometimes it’s the difficulty of the path that makes it so valuable.”
Those words were said to me once when I needed to hear them, and I have always tried to remember that lesson. Whether in my work as a corporate consultant, or working one-on-one in the counseling office, I help my clients find the path that is right for them, here in this moment.
As a strengths-based clinician, I believe in my clients’ ability to grow and overcome any challenges. My job is not to magically fix all your problems for you (I don’t have that power), but to help you identify and overcome whatever stands between you and success. In clinical counseling work, I do this with a combination of primarily Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) and Solution-Focused skills building techniques, borrowing from other schools of therapy as appropriate. In corporate and non-profit consulting, I bring my clinical skills to help identify the root causes of organizational obstacles and work to develop implementable solutions.
With decades of experience consulting tiny regional to global mega organizations, a wide array of disaster and crisis management experiences, and many years of helping individuals through mental health struggles, I’m confident that I can help you take the next step on your journey. If you are ready to commit to change and growth, contact me now.
