If you have been thinking that "something has to change, I cannot keep feeling like this" then working with a counselor could be a pathway to reduce your discomfort and increase your clarity, peacefulness and motivation. I would like to support you in creating a life you love. I have nine years of experience in mental health and have been a licensed counselor for six years. Previous clients have commented that I am down to earth, accepting/non-judgmental, kind and effective in helping them achieve their treatment goals. I am trained in a variety of therapeutic methods and will customize your treatment plan according to your preferences and goals.
There are many approaches to reducing suffering. If my counseling style isn’t helping, I can refer you to someone that is a better fit.
Looking forward to working with you! ~ Gretchen

I have been struggling with stress and anxiety from my job for years. Since the first session, Gretchen was always attentive, engaged, insightful and most importantly, non-judgemental in our conversations. She has helped me develop new ways to process emotions, confront the sources of my stress and redefine the relationship I have with myself. I have been a lot calmer and happier - thank you Gretchen for all that you do.
