Middle Path Counseling PLLC

Welcome to the Middle Path.

The Buddha identified the “Middle Path”, which means living between extremes. In mental health, it’s about relating to thoughts and emotions with balance—neither suppressing them nor being overwhelmed. In therapy, we cultivate curiosity and compassion, learning to respond in ways that support well-being rather than increase distress.

About

With almost 30 years of experience as a psychotherapist, my goal is to assist you in the process of discovering your true self and creating a life worth celebrating. While it is my belief that you’ve done the best you can to manage the difficulties that have led you to this place, all of us need help at times. While no one can change the difficult experiences of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve the challenges in your life in the present. With compassion and kindness, I will help you change long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. If you are looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you are just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. Please call or email my office for an appointment today.
