Q:  What kinds of people come to see you?

A:  My clients are adults, couples and teens who have thoughts or feelings that have been upsetting them.  They may be anxious or depressed, or may have some areas of life that aren't going well.  They might be professionals, teachers, farmers, students, musicians, ministers, entrepreneurs, housewives, or stay-at-home moms or dads.  I think that the people who like me best are those who really do want to make a change and are hoping and praying for someone who can help them find a new way.

Q:  Will you be able to help my anxiety and depression?

A:  One of most well-researched tools for anxiety, depression, chronic pain, anger, fear and worry is called Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Take a look at this short article for more information about mindfulness-based practices, which is one of my specialties.  In addition, one of the most important ingredients in the recipe for success in counseling is your willingness and DESIRE for change and growth.  When you put these things together, you have an unbeatable combination. 

Q:  How can I have a better relationship with my partner or with other people like family, colleagues and friends?
A:  Relationships are mirrors and triggers...they show us what we need to look at in ourselves and they trigger us in ways that can make life really hard.  One of my favorite discoveries is that we can make a difference in our relationships with others without the other person having to change, which is a good thing, because we can't change anybody else anyway.  Come see me and we can talk about this some more. 

Q:  Is it really possible for me to learn to be happy?

A:  You bet it is.  Not only have I seen it happen over and over again in the lives of my clients, but I am living proof that a person can go from miserable and suffering to an incredibly joyous and full life.  Want to know more about your current level of happiness?  Take this one-minute happiness quiz and then call me at 918.630.7533 and let's get together so we can your life moving in a more positive direction as soon as possible.
