Hi. I’m Clay. 
As a counselor, I help people feel comfortable telling their real stories with truth and honesty. It’s foundational to my practice as a therapist. For more than 25 years, I’ve helped men, women, and couples develop new perspectives about their lives so that they feel empowered to make positive changes. I guide clients to recognize and acknowledge disruptive or destructive patterns of behavior, reactions, thoughts, or emotions. Once identified, clients can grow beyond those patterns and discover a healthy process for healing and thriving in life.

We all have blind spots. We all get stuck sometimes. We all need help occasionally.

I believe that the most growth occurs in counseling when the counselor and client share a confidential, professional relationship based on genuineness, compassion, unconditional positive regard, and trust.
